Fire Emblem Fates

Fire Emblem Fates, the new entry of the Fire Emblem series launched as Fire Emblem If in Japan, has been released last month and several players have managed to complete both of the story and form their own opinion on the game’s story and characters. Just like for any other role playing game, some have liked the story while others consider it somewhat poor.

A couple of days back the Fire Emblem Fates main writer Shin Kibayashi has clarified his role in the game’s writing, a clarification that many considered a way to distance himself from the game’s apparent poor story. Kantopia has recently translated the tweet more accurately, revealing that Mr. Kibayashi was actually praising the effort of all those involved in the game’s writing, stating that the Intelligent System staff was as much as involved in the game’s writing as he was.

アマゾンベストセラー1位を維持している『ファイアーエムブレムif』。 ただ、誤解が少しあります。 僕は3本合わせて500枚もの原稿を書きましたが、あくまで原案です。実際にシナリオを書かれたおそらく複数のスタッフの方のために、それだけは知っていただきたいし、広めていただきたいです。

Fire Emblem Fates is now ranked number one best-seller on Amazon[co.jp]. However, there may be a slight misunderstanding. Though I wrote about 500 pages between all three versions, it was just a draft. Since the final scenario was [the result of being] passed through various staff members, I just want to let it be known that they too [had a role in this].

Whatever players may think of Fire Emblem Fates’ story, there’s no denying that the game is setting out to be one of the best selling entries of the series. Last week the latest Media Create sales chart has confirmed that Fire Emblem Fates has sold over 300.000 copies in around one week, with the Fire Emblem Fates Black and White Kingdom versions selling 260.675 copies and the limited edition, which includes both story paths, 42.991 copies. The combined sales make the Fire Emblem Fates’ debut much stronger than the one of the previous entry of the series, Fire Emblem Awakening.

Fire Emblem Fates will be released as two different versions in North America and Europe sometime next year. We will keep you updated on the Western release of the game as soon as more comes in on it so stay tuned for all the latest news.

Thanks, Kantopia

New PS5 Patch Introduces Rare 40FPS Mode for Avatar Game

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has received an exciting update that introduces a new graphical mode, elevating the game’s visual experience. With a smooth frame rate of 40 frames per second and enhanced resolutions, players can now immerse themselves in even more stunning and detailed environments. Now downloadable on PS5 with the latest patch 3.2, this mode is compatible with 4K TVs that can handle up to 120 Hz. Before this update, Avatar PS5 only offered quality and performance modes. However, with this new option, players can now enjoy the benefits of both modes after downloading the 2.4GB update.

Throughout the PS5 era, 40fps modes have been a rarity, much to the disappointment of the hardcore community. Insomniac Games first introduced them in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and later added the feature to Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. They also included it in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Other PS5 titles, such as Hogwarts Legacy, Lies of P, and God of War Ragnarok, also offer 40fps modes.

In addition to that, Patch 3.2 for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora brings along the following:

Worldwide:

  • Research Station Alpha now features a convenient Fast Travel option
  • The issue of controller re-mapping and resetting on game restart has been resolved
  • Addressed multiple instances of crashes
  • I corrected a few spelling errors
  • Addressed the issue of voice lines overlapping during dialogue

Primary Objectives & Optional Objectives:

  • [Main Quest: Shadows of the Past] This main quest is an intriguing journey into the depths of history. Addressed a bug that previously hindered quest progression in co-op mode

More bug fixes have been implemented.

  • [Available on all platforms] The rescued human characters no longer return to the Resistance HQ wearing masks
  • Available on all platforms. There is a noticeable improvement in the visibility of NPCs when they are at the edge of the Player’s vision

Fear not; for those worried about potential censorship issues with the PS5-exclusive Stellar Blade, set to release on April 26th, Sony has got you covered. ShiftUp, the developer, proudly assures players that the game will maintain its uncensored content across all regions, including Japan.

We have to admit, we didn’t anticipate this as a potential issue or a potential selling point. The main character, Eve, and her revealing costumes have been heavily showcased in the game’s pre-release marketing. Nevertheless, it is pleasing to witness ShiftUp’s evident enthusiasm as their vision prepares to reach the hands of a vast number of players.

Regarding Stellar Blade, Yoko Taro believes it surpasses NieR: Automata, and we were pleased to learn that the game will be considerate of your PS5 storage capacity. The demo is now available for you to try, and it has nearly doubled the daily active users of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This is quite impressive, especially considering it is the game’s first console showing.

Will you be there to experience Stellar Blade on its release day? It’s certainly a relief to witness the game remaining uncensored until the last moment. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.
