Today the Japanese
Fire Emblem Cipher portal
updated with images of the upcoming starter decks S03:
Birthright and S04:
Conquest, as well as the second booster set B02:
Soulful Flames of Light and Dark. The starter decks will provide full support for the colors white and black, representing the Hoshido and Nohr factions from
Fire Emblem Fates, and will retail for 1300 yen each (approximately $10.50 at the present exchange rate). The second booster set, which launches in Japan on September 17th, will likewise include cards designed to enhance each color. Like
Warblade of Heroes before it,
Soulful Flames of Light and Dark will include ten cards in each booster pack, and sixteen booster packs in each sealed box of the set. MSRP for the booster packs is 350 yen each (~$2.83) and 5600 yen per box (~$45).
The Hoshido and Nohr factions supported by
Soulful Flames were originally
introduced as promotional cards packaged with
Warblade of Heroes boxes.
Cipher is handling the split version mechanic of
Fire Emblem Fates by representing the protagonist of
Birthright as the male incarnation of Corrin, and the protagonist of
Conquest as their female incarnation. So far all known Corrin prints can also be treated as having the Hoshidan or Nohrian symbols, allowing white and black decks to be efficiently mixed together, though each of their skills still draw power boosts from their respective black and white colors.
The third booster set, which has no formal title nor announced launch date, will continue to support the factions from
Fates while also introducing Tellius cards from
Path of Radiance.
