Kaga is Voldemort, no mentions allowed
Our beloved dark lord is working on his own projects anyway~
Fuck yeah, Greil and Jill!
I'm assuming Haar, while available in PoR, will be in the RD set. Or at least, I hope so.
Also, I'm kind of shocked we haven't seen Oscar, Boyd, or Rolf.
Also Also, kind of nuts that you could have a book called "The making of Fire Emblem" but not have any mention of Kaga.

As I said, I've only heard this, but I'm... 'amused' that apparently the only Jugdral stuff in the book is a timeline, makes me question why Sigurd is on the cover, lol
I really didn't want it without Kaga, but it kinda sucks that it doesn't even get acknowledged.

Longest interview is with Kozaki for whooping 27 pages. Granted there's accompanying art & sketches in each page... Also didn't expect them to include interview with Sakurai in it too lol
not-Ike is Leif v2 haha
edit: for Kaga part, probably they actually tried to get in touch with him but somehow they couldn't? who knows...

Greil Spotted, my guess he's starter exclusive along with that Elincia and Soren.
Jill spotted.
Both from the website (sourced from Sakuraland again).
Cool. I forget, is Greil the first NPC in Cipher?
Well, I guess Camus sort of counts... and Ganz if he really is getting a card in Series 3.
Kind of sad we didn't get enemies like Gharnef, Medeus, Validar etc.

man, good thing I decided to not throw money at badges until the FE ones are out

eww those Fire Emblem sprites look pixelated as hell
Black Knight kinda counts as well?
That was the point, I imagine.

I imagine a console FE would bring back a fully 3d map/units, I imagine they didn't do it on any handhelds because models that tiny wouldn't look good. (Though, TBH, Awakening's and Fate's map sprites aren't really impressive in the first place, aside from all the custom heads...)
I'm the opposite I love sprites and I think it's Int Sys's wheelhouse, Int Sys isn't a technical powerhouse.

Yeah, but he's in Series 3 too. I guess Series 3 is when NPCs start debuting.
Eh, I didn't really like the portraits... they're kind of LQ and totally not meant to fit into a tiny space.
The map sprites are cool though and you can sorta recreate some FE battles. It's just a shame there aren't many good 3DS themes to replicate a battlefield.

Just use the battle models for cutscenes like they do now? This isn't hard.
I want FE GBA sprite rips. :<
You say that but you're going to be filling your 3ds with Sakura badges.
Are you going to watch the set 3 livestream sat 19:00 jst?

Imagining myself using the status screens of PoR to play Fates, I'm not sure I -want- FE to go back to consoles.
Given how much time I spend scouting (and how necessary it is as rushing in blindly just doesn't work this time around), I'd prefer scouting as clunk-free as possible. The way it is right now is just about perfect in that regard. Just hover over an enemy, look at the bottom screen, and boom, you got everything you need to know about them. Stats, skills, weapons carried, everything. Don't know what that weapon does? How that skill will screw you over? Tap it and you know right away. It's all there and is really quick and easy to access, making the decision-making process a lot quicker in the process. Also has the nice side-effect of making the top screen really clean.
Sure, the WiiU (and maybe NX) have the gamepad, but the separation of screens adds a little extra to the scouting process to make it a little clunkier. that clunk building up over time to make the overall experience a bit worse opposed to the 3DS where using the second screen is almost second nature.
Similarly, I'm not sure I want 3D models on maps. Think sprites are just better due to their deformed nature, emphasizing certain features so they really stand out and so you can discern what class they are more easily.

As well as being indistinct, if their attempts at map models on a console looked like this -
- trying something similar on the 3DS; when combined with pixel density and performance concerns, would be a mess. But since the sprite/3D mix has been used for two of the series' most popular games, it might be ingrained enough to survive the transition to more powerful hardware, unless they did something like using a stylised 2D sprite as an indicator over the head of a lower-detail version of the battle model, which when an action is taken zooms in and seamlessly replaces the LOD model with the full-quality one for the battle scene; without using two completely separate models.
Ike's SR has a signed version. There's alot more cipher merchandise now . Playmats, storage boxes, bins .. etc.
Rereleasing song of 25 Song of Heroes.

Dang, should've known they'd be bringing out the big guns for Comiket.
My wallet needs to reincarnate twice at this rate.
On the plus side, they're releasing the promo Sakura I was dreaming of : D~~

I'm 90% sure it's not; it's far too important.
Hopefully Intelligent Systems doesn't pull off a critical hit on me though...
I know the Camilla card is exclusive to Comiket, don't think the others are.
Aveyn you should probably watch the stream as it had three artists on it (Kozaki/Izuka/ and Yamada). The one thing that was weird was they were highlighting the PoR cutscene artwork a ton, makes me think that an artbook is coming out for that game as well.
