She’s Mythic and divine

In Fire Emblem, some of Humanity's greatest heroes wield a legendary weapon known as the Falchion that is imbued with the power to cut through dark forces and the dragons who often wreck havoc. Alm, the Saint-King of Valentia, bore Falchion when he struck down a being of pure chaotic power. Marth, the Hero-King of Archanea, …

Alm finally gets an alt

Fire Emblem Heroes characters are showing up in another mobile game: Dragalia Lost. It seems to be a relatively big deal. Big enough that news organizations like Kotaku are covering the crossover event. For my money, the Awakening-inspired cover art is pretty amazing. But I can't say much more about Dragalia Lost. I've never played the game, …

Arrival of the Brave 2: Electric Boogaloo

When Fire Emblem Heroes first came out, the biggest draw to the game was the fact that characters from every game in the series would be available in one place. To prove their commitment to that ideal, Intelligent Systems posed a contest. Everyone who enjoyed Fire Emblem could vote on their favorite heroes from any …

Darkness is on the rise in Fire Emblem Heroes

Never before has my disinterest in a previous summoning banner turned out to be such a prescient blessing. Today we have been given a brand new set of focus heroes in Fire Emblem Heroes and a new chapter in Book II's story to go along with them. However, rather than showcasing some characters from one …

My (obligatory) Top 10 Games of 2017 List

A merry Christmas to all of you out there that are taking a break from your families on this most Yule of evenings and have decided, for one reason or another, to spend some time reading this silly, clichéd offering of mine. That's right, as the title above suggests, I've decided to throw my hat …

The Fire Emblem Heroes mid-April trilogy: Starter Support, Version 1.6 and the upcoming Tempest Trials (take three)

As promised, here we go again with the Fire Emblems. Because of all the work I've got slated this week between DT orientation and my Gladeo internship, I decided to make this a larger overarching post regarding lots of stuff that's going on in the game right now. It'll be easier for me that way, …

My craziest Fire Emblem Heroes orb binge yet

A bit of a clickbait-y title this time around, but I would argue there's no way to get around that in this case. This particular go around is rather crazy, if you ask me. Though unfortunately my value for consistency in presentation is probably only going to add to the apparent hypocrisy of making this …

Tempest Trials, take two

I warned you all that this would be coming today. The Tempest Trials have returned in Fire Emblem Heroes, and this time they're based in the land of Valentia, home of Fire Emblem Gaiden and its remake Fire Emblem Echoes. Unlike the last Tempest Trials, this one comes with a little less pomp and circumstance. …

My night at the beach… Sort of.

To be fair, this is beach-themed. It's beach-themed and I am writing this in the late hours of the night (or morning if you want to get technical). So... I'm going to count this as one of my trips to the beach this summer. Even though it's really just me playing more video games. Because …

My thoughts on the 2017 Fire Emblem Direct

While I'm a day late and a dollar short on this one, there was a Fire Emblem Nintendo Direct held yesterday that I missed because I was hosting some of my friends for a small get together.  However, given that I've talked a lot about how much I love Fire Emblem in the past, I …
