[Emblem Marth] -Now, it's time to Engage.
[heroic orchestral music] [Alear & Emblem Marth] -Emblem Engage!
[music ends]
[adventurous orchestral music] [narrator] -In the Fire Emblem Engage game,
you command a uniquely skilled cast of characters, called "units,"
and lead them to victory.
[Alear] -I won't falter.
[soldier yells]
[Etie grunts]
-New to this installment of the turn-based tactical RPG series,
battles can be enhanced through the use of rings that hold the power of Emblems,
heroes from ages past.
[characters yelling]
[Diamant] -It's time! Remember this.
-When equipped with Emblem Rings,
your units will "sync" with the Emblems,
increasing their power and giving the units access to special skills.
As you can see, there's a significant difference when confronting the same foe.
[Alear] -I am guided by the Emblems.
-You can even take your battles a step further by "Engaging" Emblems
and fusing them with your units.
While engaged, you'll be able to use special weapons,
and Engage Skills that grant your units special abilities.
You'll also be able to unleash powerful Engage Attacks to decimate your foes.
[Rodine yelling]
[music ends]
[energetic rock music]
The Emblems that dwell within each ring, have their own unique abilities.
[Emblem Sigurd] -If you require strength and swiftness,
I am all too happy to oblige.
-Here we have Sigurd, Emblem of the Holy War.
He has excellent mobility,
and his "Gallop" Engage Skill vastly increases the unit's movement.
The unit can traverse over much more terrain while Engaged.
On top of that, "Override" allows you to run through a line of foes,
dealing damage along the way.
[Emblem Celica] -I feel the same, Céline.
I will fight by your side from now on.
-This is Celica, Emblem of Echoes.
Her Echo skill allows you to split up your magic attacks,
and inflict damage on two targets.
This is especially useful for finishing off foes who have been nearly routed.
She also boasts "Warp Ragnarok,"
which allows you to move to a location that would otherwise be out of range,
and attack from there. [Céline & Emblem Celica] -My apologies.
[Céline & Emblem Celica yell]
-Shall we go over just a few of the other Emblems at your disposal?
[Emblem Corrin] -I'll help ensure the path you decide to walk
is the right one.
-Here's Corrin, Emblem of Fates.
Corrin's "Dragon Vein" skill can be used to alter the terrain to remove hazards, such as fire,
or add healing effects to give your army the upper hand.
"Torrential Roar" will damage enemies directly in front of you,
and add the "Water" effect to the terrain.
[Emblem Byleth] -Use my power to guide everyone.
-This is Byleth, Emblem of the Academy.
Byleth grants the "Instruct" skill,
which can be used to boost the stats of nearby allies so they can ace the battle.
The "Goddess Dance" skill will not only
boost your adjacent allies' stats,
but it will also allow them to act again.
[Emblem Lyn] -Ready to turn this battle around?
-Finally, we have Lyn, Emblem of Blazing.
She specializes in fierce attacks
that prevent your foes from counterattacking.
On top of that, her "Astra Storm" skill
can be used to unleash five consecutive attacks
on a foe from a great distance.
Engage status only lasts for three turns,
but as you progress in battle,
the Engage meter will refill. Once replenished, you'll be able to Engage again.
Be sure to keep an eye on your meter
and strategize around its progress. [music ends]
[triumphant orchestral music]
Beyond the Emblems themselves, Fire Emblem Engage
introduces many new faces and personalities to the fold.
They are all capable of equipping Emblem Rings,
resulting in a wide range of potential combinations of units and Emblems.
[Citrinne] -Celica!
[Emblem Celica] -Yes!
-May I call on you?
[???] -Let's get brawlin'!
[Framme] -You and me, let's do this!
[music intensifies]
-Be sure to experiment with different combinations
to best utilize your Emblems and their abilities.
You would do well to remember
that the tide of battle depends on your strategy.
[Merrin] -I'll help.
That's not all. Farewell to you!
[Fabrication yelling]
[Alear] -The time has come!
[Emblem Marth] -Now, as one!
-Fire Emblem Engage.
