Following the Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave direct presentation on August 4, much more is now known about the story in the forthcoming release, including details about the four protagonist choices, how they will differ from one another, and how they will change the story players experience.
The story takes place in the Dagdan Empire, where fighters from across the land plan to compete in the heroic games, with the winner granted one wish. Players will be able to choose between Cai, Leda, Dietrich, and Theodora, each having their own reason for wanting to enter the games. Players will also have the option of playing each story in parallel, as progress can be saved for each hero as the story plays out.
More details, provided by Nintendo, can be read below:
Gods and Heroes – Five years after the Heroic Games, the Dagdan Empire faces its end at the hands of the revived demon god, Balor. Four Heroes who played a significant role in the Heroic Games have vanished. To confront the situation, the progenitor god Sothis charges one soul with saving the world from its end. That soul is you.
- Main Protagonist – Enter a world set ablaze with turmoil. Will you face the demon god Balor on your own … or use the goddess Fortuna’s time-travelling powers to change the fates of the four Heroes? Assemble your forces and light a path toward Dagda’s salvation.
- Four Heroes – Journey back to the time of the Heroic Games and take up arms as one of the four Heroes. Who you choose will determine how the narrative unfolds.
- Cai – From the peaceful village of Ribeira, Cai sets out with his childhood friends to win the Heroic Games and save his imprisoned father.
- Dietrich – Washing ashore after an attack from an enormous monster, Dietrich decides to slake his thirst for battle by competing in the Heroic Games with new allies at his side.
- Theodora – Hailing from the kingdom of Saramis, Theodora leads her veteran retainers into battle to restore the honor of her goddess – the loathed Keeper of Death and Night – and defend the peace of her kingdom.
- Leda – Born into prestige and blessed with musical talent, Leda gives up everything to seek revenge against her father’s murderer. With companions in tow, she enters the Heroic Games after learning that the killer will be fighting as well …
- From each Hero’s story, you can travel through time again to change to a different path. Progress is saved for each of the Heroes, so playing each story in parallel is also an option.
