News: First Images of Fire Emblem Cipher Official Guide

The first images of Tokuma Shoten's Fire Emblem Cipher Official Guide have surfaced through Amazon, giving a look at the guide's exclusive promotional card "Enigmatic Tactician, Robin (Male)." The guide will contain a full catalog of all 125 existing cards, spanning B01: Warblade of Heroes, S01: War of Darkness, S02: Awakening, and all of the promotional cards distributed prior to B02: Soulful Flames of Light and Dark. At this time only 122 cards are known to exist counting Robin, and the guide's tie-in promo appears to have a set number of P01-015PR. Hence the Official Guide will contain information on three other cards that have still not been revealed as of yet.
