Damn, when I thought I couldn't get more hyped!
I think the most optimal way to grind for proficencies is stick to one Emblem and liberally use training. From what I've seen, bonding up seems pretty easy in battle, like 1 fight is enough to take you from lv1 -> 2. Of course that's not helping when you don't know what Emblem you're gonna lose in the story, but reclassing aren't really meant to be used in first playthrough anyways.
Anyways, I just love they make reclassing reasonably hard again. Was afraid for another 3H situation.
SpoilerOh yeah, I don't really care for reclassing tbh and I'm happy that's they're making it a challenge to reclass, however since we know promoting also requires proficiencies, it will be annoying to say promote say Amber to a Wolf Knight if you lose Miccy and no longer have access to get knives. Tho I suppose that explains why everyone you get post chapter 10 is a prepromote, sans the royals so it removes that promotion issue.

Oh man from the looks of things this game might actually be quite hard…I may have missed it but what difficulty is the leaker playing on? I may have to just play on normal for my first run just so I don’t embarrass myself.
AlsoConsidering Veyle is looking for her sister, and is related to Sombron, while Alear “isn’t” but is still probably related to her, I have a feeling Alear is likely two people, who somehow fused. I mean, engage fusion is a mechanic, so why not?
They are playing on normal as far as I am aware.
SpoilerStory wise, I believe the leaker mentioned that it is hinted that Alear was brainwashed by Lumera in some way, possibly to forget what they did as Evil Alear. I believe Zephia mentions she didn't know Alear even existed so there is definitely something going on with Alear.

I don't really want to look at every spoiler (although I certainly might have done so already), but I really want to know about complete playable cast. So could anyone make a separate section with every playable character the leaks show and perhaps the chapter in which they join? Really praying for the 4 hounds.
Currently we don't know if there are any new unknown characters and the playability of the two new characters from the artbook are still in question, however I will make a section in the OP before any of the other spoilers for people like yourself 🙂

I have been pretty Adamant that i think people are being to quick to assume that Engage is gonna be a cake walk because we have a full party of Emblems. It seems for a decent chunk of the game that won’t be the case at all (as I expected) DLC emblems however may mitigate alot of that designed challenge as i am assuming we don’t lose access to those
SpoilerYeah I can't imagine that you'd lose access to the DLC emblems. Will definitely be why I wont be getting the DLC until after I complete the game for the first time.
But it is really cool that they take the emblems away I think. We lose them in chapter 10 and they seem to still be gone by chapter 17. While we will probably get a lot of the other emblems in the interim, since we get Lyn and Lucina with Ivy, Ike with Timerra, Byleth probably comes with Horty and Corrin seems to join with Seadall, which just leaves Eirika unaccounted for. We do know, from NWR, that Eirika is one of the emblems that was in Lythos that we can presume was stolen with Leif who was also there. Maybe Horty also brings Eirika.
Spoiler
I do think the most annoying thing that will come from loosing the first six emblems is loosing their proficiencies for reclassing. Celica and Miccy are probably the only way to access magic, and Miccy seems to be the only way to get staves and magic knives too. Hopefully the other six give good proficiencies.
-
We know that by chapter 17, Firene seems to be in ruins so by the looks of it
SpoilerChapter 12 will be us arriving in Solm, possibly will be the night chapter where Kagetsu got MVP after 31 turns, where we will meet Timerra and her retainers
Then we'll probably get the desert chapter where we see Fogado as chapter 13.
Chapter 14 could be that temple chapter where we see Seadall in his intro where he dances Ike!Alear. Hortensia and co may also join here since this is where her twt preview seems to take place
Chapter 15 will probably be the Solm palace chapter
Chapter 16 could be boat maps
Then chapter 17. It might be interesting to note that we probably will still not have our emblems back since we know Zephia has Sigurd here and Griss has Celica.
-
Spoiler
I didn't notice that about her actually. Considering what we've seen her normal eyes to be, being more purple/lilac, I wonder what changes her eye colour.
Aside from that, map wise, the maps look good so far. Most of them seem kill boss, but I'm pretty sure the chapter 8 map is defend and we now have an escape map which is nice.
Also,
SpoilerI'm pretty sure you lose your rewind ability for a bit which is certainly a ballsy move and I enjoy it

As a reminded, here is a link to the images of the two new characters found in the artbook
Also, Veyle artbook page and Ivy artbook pages
SpoilerThe leaker has currently played up to chapter 11. Gonna mainly focus on posting post chapter 7 things as we know most of what happens in those for eight chapters plus two paralogues. For those ineterested, the leaker did share image of the maps for post chapter 5 maps:
Paralogue 1
SpoilerChapter 6:
SpoilerParalogue 2:
SpoilerChapter 7:
SpoilerThese also shared Mauvier's artbook page after having previously shared Ivy's, Veyle's and the two new characters:
SpoilerNot the lack of stamp, which Veyle also lacks, as those the other of the four hounds
Anyways, on to new things:
Chapter 8:
Spoiler
Diamant and Amber join here. You also get Roy and Leif.
Ivy is the boss and have Leif. The leaker reports that the map seems like it will be quite hard on higher difficulties (I believe they are playing on normal). Ivy is quite strong but has low HP. We see Saphir here briefly, she is a royal guard. You also get 30K gold after battle, the shops stocks a rewarp staff, which can warp the user 5 spaces. The shops also stock an extra 1 master seal and 3 second seals after the battle.
Boss Ivy Normal Mode:
Spoiler
Chapter 9:
Spoiler
Boss Ivy again. Leaker says its a solid map. Incentivises anti-turtling to save Jade, who can be recruited by talking with Alear or Diamant.
Sommie gets a journal entry when maxed out. Also if a backup kills a unit in a chain attack before the main unit attacks, the main unit still gets full exp.
BIG SPOILERS AHOY - WILL POST ALL CHAPTER DETAILS IN SPOILER BOXES
Chapter 10:
Spoiler
A big series of battles begins. Above is the first.
Hyacinth has Lyn while Hortensia has Byleth. Hortensia uses a magic ballista while Hyacinth will use all of Lyn's abilities (call doubles and astra). The enemies swarm you and could be difficult on higher difficulties.
Hyacinth is eaten by Sombron at the end of the chapter.
It is revealed that Veyle is who killed Lumera and is Sombron's daughter. Veyle steals you rings AND the time crystal (taking away you time rewarp)
Chapter 10 cutscene shot:
Spoiler
Chapter 11:
Spoiler
You have no emblems for this map and enemies do have. You still have bond rings however. The map requires Alear to escape.
There is a staff called Fracture that inflicts break and has 10 range
Ivy alongside Kagetsu and Zelkov join. Shhe brings Lyn and Lucina with her.
The hounds also join the fight. They are super strong and have 2-3 revive crystals.
You are under a lot of pressure and the leaker reckons the map will be super tough of maddening.
The enemy emblems make the map super hard.
After this chapter, you are going to Solm. Hortensia has yet to join.
It's revealed, Morion was killed as a sacrifice to reawaken Sombron and has been turned into a corrupted.
After chapter 11, the tempest trials open. The shop also adds new things. The only emblems you have are Lyn and Lucina.
Chapter 11 boss:
Spoiler
Veyle pretty much Alear's foil.
Some thoughts from he leaker about their current point in the game:
SpoilerHis characters are all level 15-17 unpromoted. They are using an all girls team btw.
Feels like reclassing/promoting is a bit tough due to requirements.
Has only seen the hounds together for one scene. Mauvier seems like Veyle's sworn shield and the two are closer than the other hounds are with her.
Story wise, its very anime but they are liking it a lot. They feel like there will be another twist.
Fav character is Lapis and her supports with Framme and Etie are good.
Some Somniel things:
SpoilerYou get 100 bond fragments from Sommie after giving him food and you only get 50 from random drops on the Somniel so running around to grind them in the Somniel is not worth it.
The only things they felt were mandatory was dining for stat buffs and the arena to get free exp. The workout takes forever for little gain tho it could be better at higher tiers since the leaker only has the lowest option rn.
The map shows you where items and conversations are so it's not too bad to find things. Better than the Monastary.
That's all thus far. Will keep this thread as updated as possible
NEW UPDATE:
Leaker is back and has given us more details. Following Chapter 11, we get our first Emblem paralogue, first being Lucina. As expected, upon completion, these increase the bond level cap to 20. They also give titbits as to the Emblem's own backstory.
Lucina Paralogue:
Spoiler
You can only bring six units and the leaker feels that this chapter is a slight difficulty increase.
Then we have Chapter 12:
Spoiler
Fogado and co join.
Lots of reinforcements on this map. If you save all three NPCs, you get Obstruct staff, Elixir and a Master Seal.
Quicksand is apparently very annoying and decreases movement even after leaving it.
You unlock the second tier of the workout mini game after this chapter.
Lyn Paralogue:
Spoiler
One of the hardest maps thus far. You're split into groups of three.
Longbows bow knights, silver weapons and a priest in the middle with the break staff... Also Lyn can use Astra Storm
Apparently very fun regardless but will still be horrible on Maddening the leaker reckons lol
Chapter 13:
Spoiler
Timerra and co join with Ike.
Ivy's Lindwurm class skill is Grasping Void: When attacking a unit who is using a tome, unit may deal extra damage = half of foes Mag. Trigger % = Dex.
Fog of War map with some villages.
Ike's paralogue unlocks after this however the recommended level is Adv class level 3 so the leaker leaves it.
Chapter 14:
Spoiler
You encounter the four hounds here and the mission is to kill them.
Horty joins with Byleth. Horty's VA is doing a god job thus far and is the leakers fav.
The hounds rush you when in range and retreat upon defeat (as expected)
You get the boots and other loot in this chapter in the chests.
Wyvern Ride is unlocked after this chapter.
Story stuff:
SpoilerVeyle apparently has dual personalities, one evil and one good. When the good one rests, the evil comes out and vice versa. Presumably we'll purge her of this evil personality I guess.
-
With 5 more illustrations and probably a release day illustration, we're definitely getting Céline and Fogado, I presume the twins (could be as one or separately), then maybe Veyle as D-1 and both Alear (with Sommie hopefully) as the release day illustrations.

Just now, Armagon said:
....huh. Guess the website hiding her country of origin was a mistake then.
It wasn't revealed she was from Brodia until they released an updated relationship chart containing all of the pre-release characters up on the website. For some reason however, she is still listed as 'unknown/unaffiliated' for whatever reason.

Hmm, there's two different people that have the art book.
One's clearly in French while the other is English.
Am pretty sure the leaker is European. Our artbooks always feature multiple languages with English and French tending to be the most prominent ones. The left hand page is in English and the right hand is in French, as shown with the Ivy pages
-
For those interested, spoiler page:
SpoilerAlso Ivy page (no spoilers, just shows her base and promoted class design)
Spoiler -
Spoiler
They both seem to have crests on their artbook pages which match the crests that appear in the character book in game that has unit information so, unless said book also contains NPC info and each NPC also has their own crest, the likely hood they are playable is fairly good. Tho, it is also worth a mention that both Mauvier (who we know is playable) and Veyle (who is still iffy) don't have crests so we can't say for certain, but it would be great to have some older cast members.

Welp leaks are finally gonna start rolling in. Time to start placing bets on who else may join

IIRC, SoV's player profile card also had generics available as options for pictures so I wouldn't put much credence in Rodine being there lol

Conquest Iago chaper be like: say sike
And even elsewhere, quite a few nasty enemies here and there were extra set up to kill Corn xD
In fairness, I haven't played Fates in a while XD
-
Also side note, I think it's interesting to see that Alear keeps their dragon effectiveness when reclassed. Not that this isn't like previous game with previous games with transformers who can reclass in Awakening/Fates but still its' interesting. I wonder how many enemies will actually have dragon effectiveness in the game. IIRC, I don't remember it being too much of an issue in Fates with Corrin.

2 minutes ago, DefyingFates said:
By the way, are Mystical, Dragon et al called "Styles" or "Types" in the English coverage, or has that not been shown yet? Thanks in advance!
They're called types in English, at least when engaging, they are called type bonuses rather than style bonuses.

14 minutes ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said:
Alear neither has the Weapon prof. nor the level requirement here tho. Is there a pic with a lvl10+ and required weapon prof.?
That said, going Master Seal then Second Seal is the same cost as going Second seal then Master seal, although probably means flying access later
We've seen that with second sealing, the only thing you need is to have the specific proficiencies and be at the same tier. So advanced classes can second seal into one another without issue as long as they meet the proficiency requirement. For example, Alear can change into a sword Griffon Knight if he has already promoted and has gotten staff proficiency. It's really a non issue tbh since you're using the same resources as a female character if you were to reclass her to a flier, it just might take a bit longer since they have to be promoted. I just think having genderlocked flying classes is stupid especially when Fates did away with it and it was fine.

Just now, Lynsanity said:
hissssssssss
Stop making me go into the options to make your game playable please IS.
I believe all you need to do to change it is to press a shoulder button during a map so it shouldn't be too bad to have to change (albeit still annoying)
Nice to have confirmation about dudes flying tho. I was hoping that with them renaming the class to Flier it'd be gender neutral or that there would be an option for guys. I wish that instead of making Griffons the new Falcon Knights, they instead had male fliers ride Griffons and had them promote in Griffons or Wyverns and had girls ride Pegasi and promote into Falcon Knights or Wyverns.

Considering Rosado is a Wyvern, I’m presuming you’ll just have to get whatever proficiencies I guess if you’re a dude. At least I’m hoping they wont lock non-Rosado dudes out of flying
Engage Leak Thread *CAUTION: SPOILERS AHOY*
in Fire Emblem: Engage
Posted
Unfortunately no. There has been no new update and the leaker is still quite early on in the game (chapter 11, before anyone from Solm shows up).
