Nintendo Posts 'Ask the Developer' Interview for Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave

gamingSep 15, 202623429

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave reached a new moment when Nintendo published Ask the Developer Vol. 23 ahead of the game's release, and posts have zeroed in on surprising design choices revealed there. People are debating the single-save system and quoting the line "Nothing players go through is ever wasted" while marveling that the game originally planned eight Flame Lords as playable protagonists. Another recurring beat is that the character Eshmel was added late to tie the narrative together, and several posts name Peter, Cai and Tialla as characters fans are already priming for attention.

thank fuck they didnt do this oh my god i do not wanna play the same map like 6 times becuase the budget is so stretched out whilst the route with the least budget is the most enjoyable to play cause its different (crimson flower i love you)

This is a stark contrast from its predecessor Three Houses, which excelled at wasting players time.

The Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave 'Ask the Developer' interview releases on Tuesday. We've received absolutely zero insight from any of the developers, so it will be nice to learn how Fortune's Weave came to be.

Fortune’s Weave ask the developer is incredibly interesting like. Eshmel was added late in development to make everything tie together better, there were originally 8 Flame Lords, the single save system stuff, even a bit on why Koei Tecmo wasn’t brought back
