澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fire Emblem Engage just added two new Black cha꧟racters to its expansive roster, and fans are overjoyed at the news.

Yesterday, Nintendo debuted a new trailer for Fire Embꦓlem Engage, depicting its colorful cast of characters facing off in heated battles. The latest game in the strategic series focus🦹es on the enigmatic Divine Dragon, while also letting players summon in older characters from the Fire Emblem series' storied past.

Among the extensive roster of characters for Fire Emblem Engage are two st🍨andout Black charac🅠ters. It's a little hard to say right now, given Fire Emblem's incredibly lengthy history and vast characters, whether this is the first time Black characters have appeared in the series, but that hasn't dissuaded Twitter users from celebrating the newcomers nonetheless.

The examples above are just two instances of hundreds of Twitter users clamouring for more information about these two mysterious newcomers f🐷or Fire Emblem Engage. The vast majority of commenters on the original tweet from Nintendo, in fact, are openly supportive of the two new Black characters.

This news comes after Final Fantasy fans - of which many are likely also Fire Emblem fans - expressed disappointment at a statement from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Final Fantasy 16 producer Naoki Yoshida earlier this month. 

When asked if players could expect to see 澳洲幸运⛦5开奖号码历史查询:any characters of color in Final Fantasy 16, Yoshida said the game wasn't ethnically div🎉erse due to its setting being based on Medieval Europe. Many were quick to call out Yoshida's comments as frustrating and disappointing, and a step backwardಞs for the Final Fantasy series at large.

It's interesting to note the different diversity trajectories Final Fantasy and Fire Emblem are now exploring, and how warmly two Black newcomers have been welcomed ♋into the ranks of the latter's characters. We'll be able to find out more about these two new characters when Fire Emblem Engage launches on January 20, 2023.
