Engage Fire Emblem is just around the corner and is scheduled to launch on January 20th. And on Thursday, a trailer introduced the new meeting place where you and your allies will take time out between battles: Somniel, a green floating fortress. In the trailer, the main character – with a huge mane of red and blue hair up his Colgate ass – runs through Somniel’s lush grounds and shows fun activities. Just like previous Fire Emblem installments, this one promises fun shenanigans like wyvern-flying, shopping for cute outfits, reading your future — and of course, classic bonding activities like meals together and fishing.
Somniel is chock full of places to prepare for your battles. In the game square you can buy armor and other items. There is a ring room where you can store the rings you’ve collected and craft new ones – a new gameplay element that allows players to boost stats. You can also fight in the arena to gain experience and complete a series of battles in the Tower of Trials.
Most importantly, there are many activities to do with your allies in Somniel, such as: B. Sharing (probably many) meals at Cafe Terrace to boost your allies’ stats. You can also train together, have your destiny read, ride a wyvern through the skies through a course and (of course) go fishing. There’s a bloody farm where you can take care of animals you’ve found on your adventures – the trailer features a cat hanging out with a donkey, a beagle and a camel. There is also a very cute creature called Sommie who “has been here forever” and brings good luck to those who are nice to her.
The trailer also showed fashion customization options – you can buy clothes and accessories like different shades for yourself and your allies. You can also take a break by napping in your humid, huge bedroom; but a sweet ally of yours might wake you up, kinda like a Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Fire Emblem fans know how much of the series’ downtime between battles is spent chatting with allies and doing silly activities. in the Fire Emblem: Three Houses Players roamed the sacred halls of Garreg Mach Monastery, spending Activity Points cooking skewers of fish and eating what felt like 17 meals a day with students – all in the service of bonding with one another before embarking on battle. You can swordfight Felix at the training ground, take Dorothea (and her silly little hat) to choir practice, or try to wake Lindhart from a nap.
Even Fire Emblem Warriorthe recent Musou takeover of the franchise, gave players fun activities for their students like tea parties, horseback riding, and dusting.
I can’t wait to meet you Engage Fire Emblem‘s new allies and enjoy silly outings and activities with them – even when things need to come to a head on the battlefield.
