Nintendo detailed battle Crests yesterday, bit of a departure from their character-focused marketing for their upcoming Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Today they’re back to that, however, still going into the game’s supporting cast. While we’ve mostly seen allies and professors, we get something a little different today, as we see Ferdinand from the House of the Black Eagles. He’s the son of a noble family with his sights set high.
Ferdinand is the son of the Duke of Egil, the heir to a noble line whose ancestry goes to the Prime Minister of the Empire. He’s a confident young man who takes great pride in his lineage. Not only that, but he seems to have a rivalry with the House’s leader, Eldegard. He’s really the first character that seems to be at odds with his leader, so it’s possible this hints at larger conflict down the road (thanks to Twinfinite for the translation).
Fire Emblem: Three Houses releases July 26th for Nintendo Switch. You can check out Ferdinand’s introduction and character art below.
