Scheduled for July 23rd, 2015, Nintendo will be hosting
Fire Emblem Cipher's
first women's club (女子会
joshikai "women's gathering") at Dining Bar Othello in Tokyo. The meeting will have a limited capacity of 20 persons, and only women ages 20 and older may be invited. Entry will be 3000 yen per person, with entrants will receive 4 booster packs of
Warblade of Heroes with their entry, and the event is expected to run from 6 PM to 8 PM JST. Preregistration will end on July 15th.
The aim of the event is to promote a safer play environment for female
players; such “women’s club” events have become commonplace in Japan
since 2011, having been promoted extensively for other trading
card games like
Cardfight!! Vanguard, and in Nintendo's own
Pokémon TCG.
How the event organizers will address transsexual and/or genderfluid individuals has not been addressed. These topics are typically a taboo subject in Japan.
