The Fire Emblem If Full Famitsu Interview Has Been Translated

Japanese gaming publication Famitsu has uploaded the full Fire Emblem: If interview onto their website and thankfully it has now been translated. There’s a number of key points in the interview including that weapons such as Javelins and other long-range weapons will no longer be able to double attack. It has also been revealed that classes chosen largely depend on which campaign you choose.

Interestingly, Javelins and similar ranged weapons (such as Hand Axes, most likely, and not naturally ranged weapons like Tomes or Hidden Weapons) can no longer double attack

It seems that the classes available largely depend on the campaign chosen. So in Nohr, you will typically see more characters in familiar classes, like Cavaliers. While in Hoshido, most of the characters are in Japanese-themed classes, like Samurais.

But unlike the female-only Pegasus Knights of yore, these Pegasus Warriors can be male or female. After promoting, they can wield Bows in addition to Lances.

While Nohr is Western-themed, it also carries a dark atmosphere; its castle even stands in the middle of a giant hole in the ground. So there’s a feeling it’s not your typical Western fantasy nation.
