Over on the game's Japanese Twitter accountFire Emblem Engage (https://www.destructoid.com/nintendo-announces-fire-emblem-engage/) was announced roughly a week ago, and it's coming out in January. Naturally, a lot of what the game has to offer is a mystery, but we do know that it features a new polarizing protagonist design, and will allow players to summon classic characters from the series. It really feels like a lot of the gaps are filled in already. We know the full release date (January 20, 2023) and that it'll be roughly 15GB in size (https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/fire-emblem-engage-switch/). We also have a bit more to go off of than the initial trailer reveal thanks to some Fire Emblem Engage gameplay strewn about the Japanese Fire Emblem Twitter account (https://twitter.com/FireEmblemJP/status/1572858738834292738).
All sorts of things can be discerned from this footage, including movement ranges (which will likely carry over to the final build, given that it's out in a few short months), animations, map design, class nuance, sound effect quality, and Japanese vocals. Plus, we even get a look at some downtime and character dialogue! This latest batch includes a young-ish character voiced by Kohei Amazaki, described as a guardian (https://twitter.com/FireEmblemJP/status/1572858241263947776) who assists the divine dragon. We got a look at another guardian (https://twitter.com/FireEmblemJP/status/1570684034744819713), voiced by Yoji Ueda, last week.
It'll be hard to top the tri-story nature of Three Houses for many fans (though I know there are people who will be happy to get back to basics), but I'm hopeful for Fire Emblem Engage. There's bits and pieces I dig so far, namely the idea of mining nostalgia; I just hope it's done well from a gameplay perspective.
