VincentASM Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) Dengeki is releasing a material collection book entitled "Fire Emblem Material Collection*: Knights of Iris" on 7th December (in Japan). *Model sheets, but I'm pretty sure that's Engrish.

Also included: character concepts, class designs, weapon designs, character profiles, popularity poll results and a full support conversation (plus other) transcript. For further information, please check the links below: (Note: there are spoilers in the links!) 29th July Fire Emblem Awakening Premium Guide (tentative name) teased. 6th October Official announcement of the Knights of Iris book (what used to be the Premium Guide) and the first real details revealed. 13th October Mini-site opened. 14th November Front cover revealed. 1st December Further details and four double page samples.

Westbrick Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Sorry if this is a silly question, but what does a "fan book" normally include? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remnant Sage Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Submitted fan art/comics, random info bits, interviews, poll results, maybe exclusive artwork, etc. That sort of thing. Almost "for fans, by fans", only official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 I'm not sure if I used "fan book" inappropriately. If you're at all familiar with The Complete, Treasure, 20th Anniversary Encyclopaedia, Archanea Chronicle, etc. I suspect this book will be similar to those. I know some fans call them "art books", but that's an overly generous description if you ask me : P Typically you have some brief information about the game(s) and characters, various official artwork (the biggest draw usually) and then, if you're lucky, some of the stuff that Remnant Sage mentioned (in this case, poll results are guaranteed).

Onestep Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) Soooo... What are the odds of IS creating 'canon' pairings and commencing a shitstorm of truly legendary proportions? Edited September 30, 2012 by Onestep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ein Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Soooo... What are the odds of IS creating 'canon' pairings and commencing a shitstorm of truly legendary proportions? As opposed to the ones that already happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onestep Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 As opposed to the ones that already happen? What happen? Canon couples, or shitstorms? Because I wasn't aware that Awakening had any of the former, and throwing fuel on the latter is hilarious to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ein Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Well there was that one about Krom x Sumia. Even though we all know they're canon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly you also missed the literal hurricane tsunami hybrid that Paris' reveal bought to the board, too. His is a whole other debate that I'm not ever getting into.

His is a whole other debate that I'm not ever getting into. Oh, I'm well aware of it. Watching the ad hominem arguments flying around was both amusing, and vaguely sad. Well there was that one about Krom x Sumia. Even though we all know they're canon. Krom and Sumia? Canon? Who would have thought it? While I personally like them together, I don't think they, or any other Awakening couple, will ever be 'canon' really. It's just up to player choice as to who enters in relationship with who.

shadowofchaos Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) I agree, just like how Hector x Lyn isn't necessarily canon. OhshitImentionedHectorxLyn Opening Movie with a glimpse of a woman with Sumia's hair style and part of her face with Krom's baby makes it NOT on the level of the other "hey you can pick your pois-- excuse me, pairings". the priority goes Sumia > Mariabel > Soiree > Olivia > My Unit (female) The girl in said opening had none of the others' hair colors and style. It's nameless village girl-chan. Edited October 2, 2012 by shadowofchaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shun One Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 More artwork? Yes! I look forward to seeing all of this behind the scenes info. I hope they toss in a few beta designs of a few characters. That'd be a real treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike-Mike Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Soooo... What are the odds of IS creating 'canon' pairings and commencing a shitstorm of truly legendary proportions?

Remnant Sage Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 A4 and 320 pages? Decent size, but it might be a little bit difficult to scan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 True that. I tried scanning a page of the FE6/7 characters book once, which had 288 pages, and it was a right chore >___< That book too had a support conversation directory. Personally, I'd wish they didn't bother including them : / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karasz Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Well, look at it this way, Vincent. Scanning the support directory gives us easier access to translating the supports, y'know? Besides, it'd be easier to just scan the supports that we HAVEN'T translated and upload those instead of scanning every last one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karasz Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 How's that when pegasus knight has them? Forgot about that. Then perhaps we can forego scanning the support directory unless someone wants them. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
