Fire Emblem Engage - Announcement Trailer - Nintendo Direct 9.13.2022 

Marth is never going to catch a break, is he?

The fact that Fire Emblem and Xenoblade are now big enough to headline/end directs is insane to me. Love to see it...

I hope the story is good. Three houses’ gameplay was awesome for the first playthrough but the reason I kept playing for the whole 3.5 routes was for the amazing characters. Each battle felt personal and like everything was on the line because I loved all of my characters like a family. And then being forced to kill them during different routes… god that game hits hard.

My favorite part of Fire Emblem Engage was when they yelled "Emblem Engage!!!" and then engaged the enemy with all of the emblems

damn, the fire emblem truly was the friends we made along the way

Game called, "Engage", involves rings. Makes sense for this game to be a wedding present.

The song reminisicing the classical theme never fails to put a smile in my face.

Don't get me wrong; I am EXCITED for another Fire Emblem game. That said, I can't stop laughing at how the protagonist looks

Can't wait to play as the "Divine Dragon Joy-Con" Feels good not to have a "year-away+delays" type of a release date.

I really love the part where Marth said, "It's emblem time"

I liked the part where Joy-Kon and Colgate-Chan said "It's Engagin' time!" and then proceeded to Engage The Enemy.

Always feels strange when they bring previous protags into present era for the new games, but I always find enjoyment with FE so I'm still pretty excited for this tbh

This looks nice (colgate protag LOL) I am so happy to see Sigurd and a lot of the older lords be a part of this game through the gameplay!

That sounds like Fire Emblem Heroes with extra steps.

The UI looks amazing in this game. So clean and satisfying. Even if the story isn’t great I feel like this one will be fun to play

Prequel: Fire Emblem Engage Sequel: Fire Emblem Divorce

I feel like this game is either going to be an instant classic or feel like a mobile game.

I don’t know how to feel about this. It looks like it could be a banger or completely fumbling the bag. And it’s all dependent on the hero summoning mechanic

The Fell Dragon… HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON GRIMA?!

I saw MC and I couldn't help but question what they're up to. I was skeptical but I think they may have nailed it with this spirit summon system in place of the pairing up systems of before. Love the increased expressiveness in the combat/idle animations and cut scenes. I have high hopes for this one, can't wait!

- Weapon Triangle is revived 1:40 - However Weapon durability is nowhere to be seen, not even on vulneraries (?) 2:01 - Using an effective weapon seems to triple the attack final damage (instead of tripling the weapon might as usual since the GBA era) 1:50 - Crits triple the final damage, as usual 1:58 - Apparently you can freely equip emblem rings among your units 2:01 - Main character has a special Dragon class, as teased by the narration 2:01 - When characters equip a ring the attack seem to cause a "break" to enemies, with them being blown away and dropping weapon in the animation even if the attack does not kill (?) 2:04 - Monastery exploration is back 2:12 - Costume change for main characters, only two options: dress and masks (?) 2:17 - EMBLEM ENGAGE (the cringe) seems to activate a special transformation, the weapon name color changes to blue, also the enemy here lacks hit and damage scores, so apparently he can't counterattak this melee attack for some reason 2:27 - The Blue weapon used during transformation is the weapon owned by the emblem lord (compare 2:06 and 2:32), this means that Marth can get an upgrade from using a Rapier to using Mercurius (compare 2:04 and 2:27) - AOE map skills are avaible (maybe only to transformed characters?) akin to Gambits 2:35 - Long range Teleport + Attack (FE gaiden witches style), that again seems to negate the enemy ability to melee counter. (we don't see if the character actually stays there or teleports back) 2:40 - Also of note: said Teleport + Attack costs 1 HP to the caster, gaiden/valentia style. 2:41 - Villains probably can also use a ring 2:49 Yay for Sigurd getting some spotlight, can we have some Jugdral saga remake now?

I love Fire Emblem, but I'm not hyped by summoning the old heroes as a main part in a mainline game. It's one thing for Spotpass or using Amiibos, but I'd rather a mainline game stand on its own. That being said, I will definitely give this a shot. The premise sounds interesting, and the character designs have turned out well. Toothpaste-chan actually looks far better than the leaked screenshot I saw.

The in engine graphics look so clean and smooth!

2:49 One ring to rule them all. One ring to find them. One ring to bring them all. And in the darkness, bind them.

I don't really know what to think about this one, but it certainly looks way better than what the leaks showed. The story sounds just like the usual, didn't expect more tbh.

This looks more like a spin off game than a main Fire emblem game

the characters in the starting image (0:05) from 12 o clock going clockwise: marth celica sigurd leif roy lyn eirika ike micaiah lucina corrin byleth

1:48 AYO IT'S Jagen.

2:49 I think this could hinting at the fact that the Villain of this game might actually be able to summon villains from previous FE games, I would so love to see that

I hope we get some more older characters in that aren’t just lords

A divine dragon with the power of multiple legendary human heroes at his fingertips sounds pretty op, honestly. This game looks great so far!

0:33 someone needs to add the BONK sound effect

Not too sure what to think about this one, other than I really like how Fire Emblem is getting a lot of spotlight now!

Was kinda hoping they'd move away from the heroes stuff, here's hoping this will be strong enough to stand on its own

I am excited to try this out!

I'm so excited to see how this goes!!

The main character kinda looks like if the Nintendo switch was a fire emblem protagonist.

Hopefully the past characters actually play an important role in the story and ain't just in it for fan service. I'd love the past characters interact with other characters from different games. I'd love to see robin and byleth together. I'd find that so cool Edit: I'd love other fire emblem characters too. Robin talking strategies with Claude, Marth and lucina, among many others.

Aside from what appears to be some unchangeable features on the new protag, I think this looks incredible so far. If the biggest gripe when it comes out is the protagonist's hair color, I'd say it's an absolute win.

Fire Emblem Engage is officially one of the most wanted 2023 games I want to own for my Nintendo Switch. 🔥⚔🛡🏹

Can't exactly say I'm in love with the character designs

Seems like I'm not alone in the mixed feelings here... Maybe if the protagonist didn't look aggressively goofy.

it looks to me like this game is going to be a return to the "ds era" type fire emblem with a lot less complicated systems around unit building. note how most of the skills are tied to the rings, I feel like this game is very much so going to be a casual experience and a good entry point to the franchise. though I am fearful of this games reliance on fan service of prior characters, it makes me feel like Intelligent systems is trying to cash in on Fire emblem heroes success and as such the story will take a massive hit to its depth.

The music at the start of this is absolutely mesmerizing

I really hope the previous heroes being in the game is just an optional battle feature and doesn’t overshadow the new cast, because it really detracts from what could be a cool new mainline game. Take out the other heroes and it feels like you have a new game, but with them it just feels like a weird semi-spinoff

I can't believe they ported Fire Emblem Heroes to the Switch

Im gonna name the new protag Pepsiman

this definitely looks like a game that uses the fire emblem gameplay

I honestly can’t tell if this game looks dumb or fun, it definitely has some cool potential

I wonder if Sigurd will one round everything Looks nice tho, can't wait to try it

I'm really excited for this

Next DLC will be called Fire Emblem Retreat

Ok, I'm a little hyped, but the main character design is… well… unique, I guess

Considering the hero mechanic, maybe the final boss will have a power that uses villains instead, so you have to have certain heroes to counteract different bosses. For instance fighting Gharnef might require a hero with Starlight, or Grima someone with the Falchion.

Man can’t wait for this. Loved three houses.

I understand the title of Engage, is to enter combat. But I also love the implication of BEING Engaged, with both immersion and potential S Supports (marriage) due to the ring 💍 mechanic.

I'm tentatively excited for this. I'm always ready for more Fire Emblem. This almost feels too much like them trying to merge Heroes with the mainline games which could go either way for me. I like both as they are I'm just a little iffy on the combing aspect. I kind of thougth the title was a joke on the whole marriage mechanics of Awakening/Fates/KindaThreeHouses which fair its kinda funny.

Not sure what to think of this one yet. I'm all for a new Fire Emblem that's actually a TBS. But I'm not too fond of the main character's design, or the Heroes-bit of channeling the previous FE protagonists. Although that second one could be fun if you can actually pick which new character gets which old one. I'm not sure if they'll allow that though, in which case I'd rather just concentrate on the new people. Oh well, we'll see on release. Odds are I'll buy it, unless they really manage to turn me off.

Admittedly not big on the pepsi colored design or the concept of basically bringing in the Heroes mechanic of summoning, but I will reserve final judgement until the game is out. For all I know it could be amazing. If MC there is a Divine Dragon though I will fight for them to have green hair. Its a rule

So excited for this game!

One of the best parts of fire emblem is getting to know your new team so I hope having teammates locked to previous characters doesn't interfere

I bet this game was meant for their 30th anniversary release but the big covid happened and probably pushed everything back. So it would make sense for them to bring back summoning heroes since it's celebrating the series like FEH is but there's no gacha and microtransactions, and there's an actual game lmao. I think this game will be very fun.

I'm so glad celica got into the game, I really love fire emblem shadows of valentia.

Ok graphically the game looks really good, but that's all I'm gonna say that's good about it. This just feels like pure fan service. This trailer looks as if it was DLC for an already existing game

I don't know how to feel about this, it definitely looks good but... there's nothing in the trailer that interests me the same way Three Houses did on its first trailer. It seems to have a "classic" pre-Awakening storyline and it pains me to think that the biggest selling point is seeing legacy characters.

Yes!!! It's Emblem time! 😎

I'm super interested in the expressiveness of the animation reminds me of the cutscenes from awakening and looks a lot better than three houses did. The main heroes design is a little weird but not half as bad as the leaks made them out to be. This looks interesting and Marth looking hot af. Honestly I'm interested and want to see more

Toothpaste-chan is real. -September 2022

I would like to see more of the story first, not just alot of battle scenes. After thinking about it today and rewatching the trailer, I like the idea of the characters having a connection to a hero from the past. I just want to learn more about it.

Fire Emblem: "yeah they're totally engaged"

Another one to add to the list of games im buying. Fire emblem heroes and three houses combined sounds amazing.

Adding the older cast to make more people interested in the older series for potential future remakes/rerelease is a good idea I just hope the older characters don't intrude on the story too much .

I dont really rocked with the red & blue hair but this trailer got me interested. Cant wait to learn more about the game

This game does look interesting. I'm more anticipating the possibility that certain antagonists/villains will also have access to some of those 12 Rings at points in the story (contrary to others' theories that there will be other Rings for summoning villains from past titles).

A new Fire Emblem game.. The next Super Smash's roster: *_"It's free real estate"_*

Wow, a villain that want to resurrect an evil ancient dragon? That's so original and definitely not the 6th times in the series

I was a bit concerned about the older character aspect, but being tied to the rings looks like an interesting alternative. It's a good way to also pay homage to the older characters. I just wish that we would have gotten a remake of Fire Emblem 4...

THE TIME HAS COME AND SO HAVE I

This looks like a refreshing new take. I'm excited!

Not a fan of how the character models looks but the ENVIRONMENTS look fantastic!!!

What a step back from three houses to this

I hope they have the relationship building for all characters like Awakening 😁

Just pre-ordered the special edition. Finally beat the spikers

I hope we get to see the other Lords than just the ones featured in the mural. If Lyn is there would that mean Eliwood and Hector will be there too? Does Byleth's presence also include the other Lords? Does Sigurd have Deirdre accompany him? Leif and Seliph? Eirika and Ephraim?

Utterly insane to me how you have all the main characters from every game at 0:06, and then there's Ike in his Brave outfit from the first Choose your Heroes event from FEH. He's even wielding Urvan! I wonder if there will be more Heroes alts in the game, would be pretty cool!

This looks sooo great!

I'm happy that we're getting the 3d anime cutscenes back.

1:18 omg it's Mr emblem!!! 🔥🔥🔥

3:00 great art!!! Love it!

Looks interesting enough to get on Day 1

Really excited!!!!

Always excited for my favourite series getting a new game

I’m definitely playing this it looks awesome

Wait, those eyes. The character designer is Mika Picazzo!

I find it really strange that brave ike is depicted in the mural at the beginning. Wonder if he’s gonna be using urvan or ragnell

I’m still in disbelief that Toothpaste-chan is actually real.

The combat animations looks so good!

Hope this evokes the same feeling I had playing Awakening.

We have to kill the fell dragon. Lucian: Here we go again…

1:12 wtf Dimitri?
