Youngest of all is Yuan, who is the game’s “Trainee Mage”, an apprentice to the Sage Seraph.Īs these young warriors come of age (which happens upon reaching level ten), Eirik and Ephraim are able to choose which class they can be promoted to.
Amelia is a former student guardswoman of Grad, and her class is the “Trainee Soldier” and is learning to wield a spear. Ross is a young man with the slightly embarrassing class name of “Trainee Fighter” who is trying to follow his father’s path of being an axe-toting Fighter. During the course of the quest, Eirik and Ephraim will come across three young novice warriors, each seeking to find their way through their world. To accentuate this, developer Intelligent Systems have added three Novice Classes. One of the largest changes to the last few Fire Emblem games is that now you can control what class your character promotes into. Many of the higher class magic Classes now have additional types of magic available to them, such as the Druid using both Anima and Dark talents in addition to gaining the ability to use Staves. In terms of weapon balancing, Paladins no longer wield axes, while the slow moving Generals now can use all three of the primary physical weapons. As before, each character (barring three exceptions detailed below), though pre-defined in profession, levels up uniquely according to his or her innate strengths and weaknesses.Ĭharacter classes, however, have gone through quite a bit of tweaking. The weapon triangle of Spear defeating Sword defeating Axe defeating Spear is still in effect, as is its Magical counterpart (Dark defeats Anima defeats Light defeats Dark). Depending on a number of factors, one unit will prevail over the other. Characters traverse an overhead view map and engage enemy units in battle. Maps, icons, and menus are essentially the same as in the previous GBA titles. In terms of the basic gameplay common to each Fire Emblem game, fans of the first English release will be right at home. Fans of the English release of Rekka no Ken will be disappointed to note that the beautiful hand drawn dramatic stills have not made a return. The battle sprites for the new classes definitely have the edge over the reused animations. Yes, Seima no Kouseki is still using the same engine as the other GBA games. Graphics and sound have not been altered all that much from Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsuguri and Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken.
If you’re a linguistic masochist or certifiably fluent in Japanese, you can import the game from Lik-Sang.
It would be prudent to wait for the English translation. Fans of the English premiere of Fire Emblem take heart: the game has been announced for a North American release, and will have the subtitle renamed to “The Sacred Stones”. The journey will be difficult, and the minions of Grad won’t be giving up…īeware importers, this game is not only in Japanese, but is almost entirely written in the complicated Kanji alphabet, which has been proven to make grown men cry on numerous occasions. Eirik and her faithful guardian Seth barely escape, heading on a mission to find Eirik’s older brother Ephraim. The country of Grad has invaded her country and easily wiped out the standing Lunes army. It hasn’t been a good day for Eirik, the young Lordling of Lunes.
