愛と勇気の25周年記念- ファイアーエムブレム祭 For those of you that actually had the wonderful chance to attend this event please feel free to add on to this thread. I have a couple of pictures, but they are only of the place that the event took place itself. I do not have pictures of the actual performances, which in the end means I have nothing. They broadcasted it many times that the use of camera's and recording devices were not to be used during the event. There were even staff members walking around making sure no one was doing anything against the rules. The event on the day that I had went - July 25th, Saturday at 1700. It began where they allowed us inside the building to escape the smoldering heat outside. Everyone was literally dying outside let alone it was so disorganized. At first there was no real line, and everyone was just bunched up around the entrance and after while one of the Japanese worker guys used his megaphone to bring chaos into order. In any case as we all handed our tickets to the receptionist she then ripped a piece off and handed them back. We then went inside the City Hall located near the Tokyo Dome, which is where the event took place. They were selling "goods" and I mean a lot of them. There were so many Fire Emblem Souvenirs I couldn’t believe it. Everything listed on the site and more I believe was there and there were hundreds of people lined up. However, I was luckily enough to get the middle of all of it so within 15~20 minutes it was my turn to spend money on FE goodies. I ended up spending more than I had bargained for… And I mean a lot. So much that I had to have one of my other two friends help me carry it at first lol. Oh and on that note we were surely the only Americans there. This is and was a once in a lifetime event that took place. What made this all possible is that I had a Japanese friend fill out the form for me online, but you need a Japanese credit card to do so and even then he said it was confusing because he had received a number, and then had to go to the store to get a voucher. Just to be able to pick up the real ticket a few days later. Now as we went inside the theatre where the event took place it was completely full. I could not put a number as to how many people were there. Perhaps post a picture here of the place you guys could paint a better picture. In any case, as we wait for about 30 minutes for the event to start you could literally see the entire place with small glowing lights in every seat. 80% of those glowing lights were Nintendo 3DS’s. Everyone was playing Fire Emblem lol it was so awesome. However, as for my friends and I we were playing smash 4 lol. Before we knew it it was time for the show to begin. The show began with the announcer for the entire events appearance, which I believe was Anna. She wore a nice red dress and kindly gave a speech about the celebration and what it entailed. She sounded just like the real Anna it was most certainly nostalgic. Onto the first performance, and they even went in order of the Fire Emblem games and every so often they took breaks in the show. The first break from what I could remember was a drama scene with characters from Fates with Aqua, Hinata, Saizou, Lazward, Odin and Anna. Shortly thereafter there was a special performance made by the actual singer of the Fire Emblem IF Opening. It was yet another wonderful performance. She wore a nice white dress and had background singers and there were even visuals being projected onto a big screen. It was intense. After that they continued on with the orchestrated versions of the Fire Emblem soundtracks I forgot which songs specifically but I can recall a few such as: Together We Ride, Fire Emblem Theme, the first battle phase song from Fire Emblem Blazing Sword, and Ike’s Resolution. I can go on and on but just thinking about them make me wish I had that entire performance on CD more and more. They better release something like they did for the Smashing Live Soundtrack. Yet another short intermission began. This time it was a talk show that featured Masahiro Sakurai. He gave a speech about the Fire Emblem series and then proceeded to introduce all of the main collaborators for the Fire Emblem series. They were all brought out on stage and they then held a talk show about their thoughts and ideas about the series and asked what their favorite FE game were, also there was a guest appearance from the voice actor of Aqua, Lynn. After that they went onto the final show, which was the Main Fire Emblem Theme. I will post a link later when I find out which song that was exactly. And after the performance we got the chance to take pictures with Sakurai, which was amazing. Not. The hell they’d let that happen XD. It was fun though and at the very end we applauded them for at least a whole 2 to 3 minutes lol it was insane and well deserved. I loved every bit of the performance. And I am looking forward to the next one if there ever will be one in the future. This completes my story and if you’ve any questions feel free to ask. I hope I did a good job in filling you guys in on my experiences of the event.

You lucky swain.

@ SageOfAnys - I been reading all of the related material in the main site, not the forum. I did not realize there was a forum 'till recently. You're absolutely right Lol!I meant to say - 7, 9, 10, 13 and am currently playing 14, Fates.

Greetings everyone. I have been roaming around serenesforest for a couple years now. However, primarily for Fire Emblem Awakening and nothing else. I have played FE 8, 10, 11, 14, and am currently playing 15. My favorite character of all time is Roy. Although I do love Lyndis. I don't play Fates as much as I would like because I am very busy with work and other things. I currently live in Japan and you can call me Haru. Although I am indeed American I can speak, read, and write Japanese. However, I am not fluent yet and I struggle with Kanji out of the hundred or so that I know. Outside of Fire Emblem I do have a Wii U and challenge anyone with skill in SSB4. I would like to get better but I have already surpassed all my friends =/. This is a really nice community and is well informed by what I've seen so far. It's a pleasure to meet you all.

I will be attending in a few days time. I will be willing to lend someone such as yourself a hand if need be. I knew your name sounded familiar. You've aided me in the past in regards to FE - Awakening related material. Keep up the good material man.
