Like you Sword and Breath of the Wild. Like you Sword and Breath of the Wild. Like you know how Zelda has the gritty and know how Zelda has the gritty and know how Zelda has the gritty and realistic Twilight Princess and then it realistic Twilight Princess and then it realistic Twilight Princess and then it has the cartoony uh aesthetic of Wind has the cartoony uh aesthetic of Wind has the cartoony uh aesthetic of Wind Waker.

I was like, "Oh my god, this has to be I was like, "Oh my god, this has to be I was like, "Oh my god, this has to be Fire Emblem." And this is very Three Fire Emblem." And this is very Three Fire Emblem." And this is very Three Houses coded. In my head, I wasn't like Houses coded. In my head, I wasn't like Houses coded. In my head, I wasn't like 100% sure that was a hero's relic until 100% sure that was a hero's relic until 100% sure that was a hero's relic until I saw it a little later, but just the I saw it a little later, but just the I saw it a little later, but just the whole aesthetic of it. It literally whole aesthetic of it. It literally whole aesthetic of it. It literally looks like a hero's relic from Fire looks like a hero's relic from Fire looks like a hero's relic from Fire Emblem 3 Houses. And the these Emblem 3 Houses. And the these Emblem 3 Houses. And the these characters seem to be like our four most characters seem to be like our four most characters seem to be like our four most important characters in the game. important characters in the game. important characters in the game. You see that guy, this woman here, You see that guy, this woman here, You see that guy, this woman here, >> this guy over here, >> this guy over here, >> this guy over here, and this beautiful lady over here.

So, that seems to be the central focus of the seems to be the central focus of the seems to be the central focus of the story. And honestly, it sort of reminds story. And honestly, it sort of reminds story. And honestly, it sort of reminds me of the tournament for the throne in me of the tournament for the throne in me of the tournament for the throne in Metaphor Refantasio. That being the Metaphor Refantasio. That being the Metaphor Refantasio. That being the central focus of Metaphor story, the central focus of Metaphor story, the central focus of Metaphor story, the heroic games here seems to be what heroic games here seems to be what heroic games here seems to be what they're all competing in. We'll learn they're all competing in. We'll learn they're all competing in. We'll learn about that a little later, what their about that a little later, what their about that a little later, what their end goal could potentially be. And end goal could potentially be. And end goal could potentially be. And here's one thing I want to like bounce
-
here's one thing I want to like bounce here's one thing I want to like bounce off you guys. These four characters are off you guys. These four characters are off you guys. These four characters are highlighted a lot in the trailer. Like highlighted a lot in the trailer. Like highlighted a lot in the trailer. Like they're the central focus of the game, they're the central focus of the game, they're the central focus of the game, four main characters. But like I was four main characters. But like I was four main characters. But like I was saying before, if potentially there is saying before, if potentially there is saying before, if potentially there is split pathways, different routes we can split pathways, different routes we can split pathways, different routes we can take in this game, maybe each different take in this game, maybe each different take in this game, maybe each different route will be a different uh story of route will be a different uh story of route will be a different uh story of the tournament in the eyes of these the tournament in the eyes of these the tournament in the eyes of these various different characters. So, we'll various different characters. So, we'll various different characters. So, we'll see about that and their trials and see about that and their trials and see about that and their trials and tribulations, their motivations, their tribulations, their motivations, their tribulations, their motivations, their end goal. We're going to be playing it end goal. We're going to be playing it end goal. We're going to be playing it from their point of view. I don't from their point of view. I don't from their point of view. I don't necessarily think that's going to be the necessarily think that's going to be the necessarily think that's going to be the case, but that is possibly a potential case, but that is possibly a potential case, but that is possibly a potential possibility that this game is going to possibility that this game is going to possibility that this game is going to have. What I am very intrigued of over have. What I am very intrigued of over have. What I am very intrigued of over here is you see this town over here. here is you see this town over here. here is you see this town over here. Very cool that we can explore this town. Very cool that we can explore this town. Very cool that we can explore this town. And a lot of people seem to be like And a lot of people seem to be like And a lot of people seem to be like comparing this to your monastery or comparing this to your monastery or comparing this to your monastery or somnial home base, but I'm thinking a somnial home base, but I'm thinking a somnial home base, but I'm thinking a little more grander, you know, like in a little more grander, you know, like in a little more grander, you know, like in a lot of Fire Emblem games, you explore lot of Fire Emblem games, you explore lot of Fire Emblem games, you explore many towns, you go to other nations, you many towns, you go to other nations, you many towns, you go to other nations, you go across other continents. So, my hope go across other continents. So, my hope go across other continents. So, my hope is this is not the only town we'll is this is not the only town we'll is this is not the only town we'll explore. And my hope beyond that is this explore. And my hope beyond that is this explore. And my hope beyond that is this may not be the only hub area we get to may not be the only hub area we get to may not be the only hub area we get to explore. So imagine us going across explore. So imagine us going across explore. So imagine us going across other continents doing other things sort other continents doing other things sort other continents doing other things sort of like we did in Metaphor how we had to of like we did in Metaphor how we had to of like we did in Metaphor how we had to travel all across Ukronia to do the
-
travel all across Ukronia to do the travel all across Ukronia to do the tournament for the throne. What if the tournament for the throne. What if the tournament for the throne. What if the heroic games take us across the entire heroic games take us across the entire heroic games take us across the entire continent of whatever this continent is continent of whatever this continent is continent of whatever this continent is whether it's Foland or somewhere else? whether it's Foland or somewhere else? whether it's Foland or somewhere else? What if we go across so many places and What if we go across so many places and What if we go across so many places and we have different towns we come across we have different towns we come across we have different towns we come across and those towns act as our different and those towns act as our different and those towns act as our different quote unquote monasteries or somnial hub quote unquote monasteries or somnial hub quote unquote monasteries or somnial hub spaces? That would be really awesome. spaces? That would be really awesome. spaces? That would be really awesome. That would be really cool. Cool. What do That would be really cool. Cool. What do That would be really cool. Cool. What do you guys think of that? So, if I'm not you guys think of that? So, if I'm not you guys think of that? So, if I'm not mistaken, the Japanese title for the mistaken, the Japanese title for the mistaken, the Japanese title for the game is Fire Emblem Myriad Colors, but game is Fire Emblem Myriad Colors, but game is Fire Emblem Myriad Colors, but if you directly translate it, I think it if you directly translate it, I think it if you directly translate it, I think it translates to Fire Emblem Purple and Red translates to Fire Emblem Purple and Red translates to Fire Emblem Purple and Red or Thousand Purples and Reds. And what's or Thousand Purples and Reds. And what's or Thousand Purples and Reds. And what's cool is if you go over here next to cool is if you go over here next to cool is if you go over here next to Kai's level 13 label over here, you can Kai's level 13 label over here, you can Kai's level 13 label over here, you can see this kind of like gauge. I don't see this kind of like gauge. I don't see this kind of like gauge. I don't really know what that is. that might be really know what that is. that might be really know what that is. that might be like equivalent to like our divine pulse like equivalent to like our divine pulse like equivalent to like our divine pulse or some sort of like um special ability or some sort of like um special ability or some sort of like um special ability that we can do in this game. So, I'm that we can do in this game. So, I'm that we can do in this game. So, I'm curious what that is and how it plays curious what that is and how it plays curious what that is and how it plays into the story because like I said, the into the story because like I said, the into the story because like I said, the title translates to purple and red and title translates to purple and red and title translates to purple and red and we have purple and red, scarlet and we have purple and red, scarlet and we have purple and red, scarlet and violet. So, I don't know what that violet. So, I don't know what that violet. So, I don't know what that means. Doesn't connect to Pokémon. I'm means. Doesn't connect to Pokémon. I'm means. Doesn't connect to Pokémon. I'm just saying. And overall, we're finally just saying. And overall, we're finally just saying.
