The official
Fire Emblem Cipher portal updated today with
new event information for the end of July. On July 25th Nintendo will be hosting a special concert in commemoration of
Fire Emblem's anniversary, "The 25th Anniversary of Love and Courage," and
Cipher will have its own special gallery at the event space featuring prints of illustrations created for the game. Fans of
Cipher will also be provided a space to play the game in, but only individuals aged twenty years and older will be able to attend. The anniversary will be held at the Tokyo Dome Hotel, and it will cost 4000 yen to enter.
The 25th anniversary concert is set to include a
variety of merchandise, including a 2000 yen folding fan decorated with the body of the divine dragon Naga, a 12000 yen replica of Azura's pendant from
Fire Emblem Fates, and a commemorative "One Hundred Poems of Heroes" (英雄百歌
Eiyuu Moka) box containing illustrations that tell the stories of the
Fire Emblem cast across twenty-five years in the form of
waka poetry.
Modeled after traditional poetry sets used for
karuta matching games, the Hundred Poems will contain two hundred cards with each complete poem split between two cards (and thus two illustrations). The first hundred are intended to be read by a poetry reader, while the remaining hundred are used for two players to try and matching the second half of the poem to its first half before the first half can be read. The Hundred Poems box will also come with a booklet and a CD that can recite the poems in place of an actual reader. It will cost 8424 yen, approximately $70.
