Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
Also known as: Fire Emblem Echoes: Mouhitori no Eiyuuou (JP), Fire Emblem Echoes: Lingyiwei Yingxiong Wang (CH), Fire Emblem Echoes: Tto Hanaui Yeong-ung Wang (KR) Developer: Intelligent Systems Publisher: Nintendo Platform: Nintendo 3DS Released in JP: April 20, 2017 Released in US: May 19, 2017 Released in EU: May 19, 2017 Released in AU: May 20, 2017 Released in KR: July 13, 2017 Released in CN: April 20, 2017 This game has unused playable characters. This game has unused graphics. This game has unused items. This game has unused abilities. This game has unused music. This game has unused text. This game has regional differences. This game has revisional differences.

To do: Any additional playable data for Berkut and Fernand that's not mentioned here. Rip and upload voice clips where needed. There are a very large number of skill name and description strings that the player definitely never sees. Is there any other data connected to them? Presumably some of them are used but invisible, but which ones are those? Virtually everything in the game that doesn't have to do with text files. Investigate possible unused functionality for growth rates for the movement stat. [1] Document the English, Spanish, and French text differences between the US and European versions of the game

"Once upon a time, there was a game named Fire Emblem Gaiden and a game developer named Intelligent Systems, who remade each other bitterly for an age."

"Hey, why did Fire Emblem Gaiden and Intelligent Systems have to cut so much? Couldn't they just say they were sorry?"

Sub-Page

Unused Graphics "Looking good, Alm! ...Heh."

Internal Project Name

The game's internal project name is "Iron16", judging by several files which bear this label. This continues the pattern set by the other two 3DS Fire Emblems - "Iron" being a pun on the abbreviation "FE" (the chemical symbol for iron), and "16" for this being the sixteenth main Fire Emblem game. Interestingly, this means that BS Fire Emblem: Akaneia Senkihen is counted as a discreet, mainline Fire Emblem game.

Unused Text

Odd Art Scene Names

Shadows of Valentia's art scenes (sometimes called CGs, for computer graphics) are not named in the game. However, in the game's files themselves, they have descriptive and occasionally humorous names. Anything particularly interesting is bolded.

Name Strings

The message archive file m/(language)/Name.bin contains several character names which are never used at any point.

Message Name	Message (JP)	Message (EN)	Notes
MPID_フードマン	？？？	???	One of several generic question-mark name entries listed at the top of the file. The interesting part is its message name, which translates as "MPID_Hoodman": a.k.a. the same text entry used for hooded Sumeragi in Fates, who definitely does not appear in this game.
MPID_デフォルト名	アルム (Arum)	Alm	The message name reads "MPID_DefaultName", which is the same entry where Awakening and Fates stored the default names for their player avatars, Robin and Corrin. Shadows of Valentia does not have avatars at all, so this is likely a leftover from Fates with Alm written in as a placeholder.
MPID_魔道軍	魔道軍 (Mage Army)	War Mage	??
MPID_デビル	デビル (Devil)	Devil	??
MPID_サーペント	サーペント (Serpent)	Serpent	This name string existed in Gaiden, where it was also unused.
MPID_ナーガ	ナーガ (Naga)	Naga	This name string existed in Gaiden, where it was also unused. The recurring Fire Emblem character Naga is mentioned in parts of the remake's story, although she never appears in person.
MPID_ゲッペル	ゲッペル (Göppel)	Ganger	??
MPID_シャドー	シャドー (Shadow)	Shadow	In Gaiden, this was the name of all units summoned by the Invoke spell. The remake calls them "Illusions" instead, the text string for which is listed much, much further down in the file, suggesting it was a late change.
MPID_白魔法テスト	白魔法テスト (White Magic Test)	White Magic Test	These are presumably unit IDs which were used in development to test magic and summoning functions.
MPID_召喚師テスト	召喚師テスト (Summoner Test)	Summoner Test
MPID_召喚テスト	祈祷師テスト (Shaman Test)	Cantor Test
MPID_黒魔法テスト	黒魔法テスト (Black Magic)	Black Magic Test
MPID_妖術師テスト	妖術師テスト (Wizard Test)	Arcanist Test
MPID_特殊魔法テスト	特殊魔法テスト (Special Magic Test)	Sp, Magic Test
MPID_イリュージョン魔戦	イリュージョン魔戦 (Illusion Demonfight)	Invoke Magic Test
MPID_イリュージョン天馬	イリュージョン天馬 (Illusion Pegasus)	Invoke PN
MPID_イリュージョン兵士	イリュージョン兵士 (Illusion Soldier)	Invoke Soldier
MPID_メサイア死霊	メサイア死霊 (Messiah Deadspirit)	Conjure Revenant
MPID_メサイア骸骨	メサイア骸骨 (Messiah Skeleton)	Conjure B. Walker
MPID_メサイア飛魔	メサイア飛魔 (Messiah Flyingdemon)	Conjure Gargoyle
MPID_メサイア死竜	メサイア死竜 (Messiah Deaddragon)	Conjure N.Dragon
MPID_メサイア魔女	メサイア魔女 (Messiah Witch)	Conjure Witch
MPID_メサイア目玉	メサイア目玉 (Messiah Eyeball)	Conjure Mogall

Additionally, there are duplicate name strings for the majority of the game's classes listed as character names (MPID; the actual class strings have the prefix MJID and are stored in a different file). Some of them are used when visiting locations, as the names of generic members of the respective classes who the player can talk to.

Name.bin also has a complete set of specific name and description strings for each variant of the Invoke and Conjure spells. In the finished game, like in the original Gaiden, every variant is just called "Invoke" and "Conjure" without mentioning what it specifically summons.

Message Name	Message (JP)	Message (EN)	Notes
MIID_メサイア死霊	メサイア死霊 (Messiah Deadspirit)	Conjure R	Revenant version of Conjure.
MIID_メサイア骸骨	メサイア骸骨 (Messiah Skeleton)	Conjure B	Bonewalker version of Conjure.
MIID_メサイア飛魔	メサイア飛魔 (Messiah Flyingdemon)	Conjure G	Gargoyle version of Conjure.
MIID_メサイア死竜	メサイア死竜 (Messiah Deaddragon)	Conjure N	Dolth's necrodragon version of Conjure.
MIID_メサイア魔女	メサイア魔女 (Messiah Witch)	Conjure W	Marla and Hestia's witch version of Conjure.
MIID_メサイア目玉	メサイア目玉 (Messiah Eyeball)	Conjure M	Jedah's mogall version of Conjure.
MIID_イリュージョン魔戦	イリュージョン魔戦 (Illusion Demonfight)	Invoke DF	Silque's dread fighter version of Invoke.
MIID_イリュージョン天馬	イリュージョン天馬 (Illusion Pegasus)	Invoke PN	Tatiana's pegasus knight version of Invoke. "PN" is an odd way to abbreviate "pegasus knight"...
MIID_イリュージョン兵士	イリュージョン兵士 (Illusion Soldier)	Invoke S	Genny's soldier version of Invoke.
MIID_H_メサイア死霊 MIID_H_メサイア骸骨 MIID_H_メサイア飛魔 MIID_H_メサイア死竜 MIID_H_メサイア目玉	魔物を召喚する (Summons monsters.)	Summons Terrors.	Help text for five of the six Conjure names, duplicated five times. When viewed in-game, Conjure's help text reads "Summons evil beings from the darkness."
MIID_H_メサイア魔女	魔女を召喚する (Summons witches.)	Summons witches.	Help text for the Conjure W name. Like the other Conjures, Marla and Hestia's just says "Summons evil beings from the darkness." in-game and does not specify witches at all.
MIID_H_イリュージョン魔戦 MIID_H_イリュージョン天馬 MIID_H_イリュージョン兵士	幻影兵を召喚する （軍に８体まで） (Summons phantom soldiers (Up to 8 per army))	Summons illusory soldiers. (Eight max)	Help text for the Invoke DF, Invoke PN, and Invoke S names, duplicated three times. Identical to the help text seen for Invoke in-game.

World Map Labels

Name.bin contains the name strings for every location on the world map, and among them is a set of labels for paths between individual locations. In-game, text associated with these "locations" is never displayed.

	Mila	Welcome, child of fate...
	Alm	Huh?! Who said that?

m/(language)/Result.bin

Every time the player is shown the end-of-battle results screen, one character will make a remark about the army's performance in the preceding battle. In-game, the player only gets these remarks as voice clips, but every one of them is also unused in text form in Result.bin. Unlike the rest of the game's dialogue text, these are just plain text strings which do not include instructions to display speaker names or portraits, or to play the matching sound clip.

Death of Celica

Several characters have voice clips for the end-of-battle results screen that are intended to play if Celica died in the preceding battle. However, as per usual for Fire Emblem main characters, Celica's death is an automatic Game Over in all circumstances, leaving no way to ever see these. It's possible that Celica was intended to stop being a main character in the postgame, similar to how Sothe stops being a main character in Radiant Dawn's endgame. In the final release, the postgame allows the player to choose either Alm or Celica to lead the party and be forcibly deployed to every battle - but the other character's death will still result in Game Over. Like the rest of the results lines, these are also kept in text form in Result.bin.

Similarly to Fates, quite a few test models remain. This time, a few use assets from Gaiden itself.

Gaiden Test Maps

There are a lot of map models which consist of only a single texture laid out flat each. Each uses an original Gaiden map as its texture.

Model Name	Texture Name	Image	Notes
field/enc_mori_1.bch	MAP		The map for Lost Treescape skirmishes.
field/enc_osorezan_1.bch	MAP		The map for Fear Mountain Shrine skirmishes. This map was cut entirely, and has no used equivalent in the remake. Though it is essentially an expanded version of a used map.
field/enc_saidan_2.bch	MAP		The map for one of the Duma Temple battles. This map was cut entirely, and has no used equivalent in the remake.
field/enc_saidan_3.bch	MAP		The map for one of the Duma Temple battles. This map was cut entirely, and has no used equivalent in the remake.
field/enc_tou_1.bch	MAP		The map for one of the Duma Tower battles. This map was cut entirely, and has no used equivalent in the remake.
field/enc_tou_2.bch	MAP		The map for one of the Duma Tower battles. This map was cut entirely, and has no used equivalent in the remake.
field/enc_tou_3.bch	MAP		The map for one of the Duma Tower battles. This map was cut entirely, and has no used equivalent in the remake.
field/fld_mori_kita.bch	MAP		The map for the Forest Northside battle.
field/fld_test_map.bch	MAP19		The map for the Zofian Coast battle.

field/hub_test_kyoten.bch

This is a test of the "hubs" where you meet characters in villages. The two test characters in question are actually from an old, Japanese MMORPG called CroXino which Hidari, the lead artist for Shadows of Valentia, worked on.

sample/sleep.bch

The sleep.bch model contains a screenshot of Mycen's first line of dialogue in the original Gaiden's opening cutscene (albeit with the village background removed). When one considers the text on the image, the model name makes sense...somewhat.

Japanese	Translation
[マイセン] ※「アルム ひとやすみしよう	[Mycen] ※ Alm, let's take a break.

Unused Characters

Playable Berkut and Fernand

Both Berkut and Fernand - who only appear as bosses in the main game - each have a nearly complete set of voice clips and text strings specifically for being playable units. They only lack a set of base conversations, something possessed by every actual playable unit except Alm, Celica and Mycen, and character endings.

Fernand is playable in two of the Rise of the Deliverance DLC maps, but because those maps do not feature the end-of-battle results screen and do not allow him (or any other unit) to gain experience, levels or change class, most of his dialogue still goes unused.

Character Data

Despite all the dialogue they have, neither Berkut nor Fernand have actual surviving data as playable characters. However, the data/Person.bin file may have a hint about plans for the characters.

The person ID (PID) entries for Fernand's three enemy appearances - PID_敵フェルナン３章１, PID_敵フェルナン３章２, and PID_敵フェルナン４章 - all label him "Enemy Fernand". The only other PID entries which are specifically labelled "Enemy" are for the enemy versions of Delthea, Zeke, Sonia and Deen, to distinguish them from their regular playable selves. No other enemy or boss unit is marked this way, since it would be redundant given the total lack of playable status.

All of this implies that a non-enemy version of Fernand existed at some point but was removed. Since Berkut does not have the "Enemy" label on any of his PID entries - PID_ベルクト３章, PID_ベルクト４章, PID_ベルクト５章, and PID_ベルクト５章Ｈ - he might not have ever had playable data (dialogue and voice clips aside, anyway).

Shizas

Shizas was the boss of the Border map in the original Gaiden, and is the only Gaiden character who does not appear at all in Shadows of Valentia. Berkut replaces him as the boss of the Border. His stats are still in the game (and are identical to his Gaiden stats), and has a fully functional model, voice, and unit ID.

Unused Items

Data/Item.bin references IDs for two items which otherwise don't seem to have any surviving data or stats: the "fiend's lance" (IID_魔人の槍) and the "titan's axe" (IID_タイタンの斧). Since there's no other data left for them, there's no hints as to what they might've been for, aside from being connected to the monster species.

The file also lists IID slots for 20 memory prisms; only 10 exist in the base finished game, and only 3 more are added by DLC, leaving 7 empty listings. These don't have any other data, either.

Unused Abilities

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: There are many, many, many, many more unseen skill text strings than what's listed here. Presumably a good chunk of them are tied to various hidden skills/properties; it would be helpful to sort of which belong to what and to identify anything else among them that's completely unused.

There are a sizable number of abandoned spells and skills, most of which originated in previous Fire Emblem games. Some of them don't actually have proper help text in any language, with the respective strings just repeating the skill's name as a placeholder, while a handful don't even have surviving name strings at all.

Please note that in the video demonstration to the right, these skills underwent some cosmetic hacking to give them proper descriptions and to assign them to equippable rings that don't actually exist in any form.

Magic

Spell Name	Cost	MT	WT	HIT	CRIT	RNG	Help text	File name	Notes
Apocalypse	-12 HP	30	0	0	0	0	Ruinous magic.	IID_アポカリプス (IID_Apocalypse)	A black magic spell which first appeared in Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi. At 30 might it's vastly more powerful than any other weapon or spell in the game, but all of its other stats are 0, including range, meaning you can't attack without increasing range with the Mage Ring. The spell has no animation and defaults to copying Fire.

Skills

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Since there's no text strings relating to most of these in the relevant archives, and since the above video modified them to give them those strings, what do those ones look like in an otherwise unmodified game? Are they assignable skills, per se, or orphaned effects not tethered to anything in particular?

Skill Name	Effects	Help text	File name	Notes
Aptitude	Increases the user's growth rates	Aptitude	SID_良成長 (SID_GoodGrowth)	A recurring skill from the previous 3DS Fire Emblems.

Character Ages

Every unit in the game is assigned a hidden age stat, which has no use by itself but is related to an unused item property which would have prevented provisions from being consumed by units whose age is less than 20. Rather than the age function working as a simple yes/no flag, every playable unit is assigned an age that is realistic for the character:

13: Delthea 15: Kliff, Genny 16: Boey, Est 17: Alm, Celica, Tobin, Mae 18: Gray, Faye, Clair 19: Silque 20: Catria, Atlas 21: Tatiana, Conrad 22: Luthier 23: Palla

24: Lukas, Leon, Jesse 25: Python, Forsyth, Sonya 27: Clive 28: Kamui, Mathilda 29: Zeke 30: Deen 31: Valbar 34: Saber 65: Mycen 71: Nomah

Enemies and NPCs are all given a placeholder age of 30, with the exception of several bosses: the Brigand Boss (38), Desaix (43), Slayde (32), Barth (35), Nuibaba (124), Jedah (147), Rudolf (50), and Gharn (100). Despite their playable leftovers, Berkut and Fernand only have the placeholder age, too.

This ability was most likely intended for the four alcoholic provisions - the wine, ale, leftover ale, and Ram wine - which in the final game are the only provisions that cannot be consumed by anyone at all. This may have been removed because it provided an inherent disadvantage to underage units. As a side effect of being left unconsumable, the four alcohols all have recovery values programmed in that go unseen and unused: the wine, ale, and leftover ale would all restore 10 HP and 10 fatigue points each, while the Ram wine would restore 30 HP and 20 fatigue points.

To clarify, no version of the game allows the alcohol provisions to be consumed; this is not something that any localizations censored.

Regional Differences

7-Eleven Promotional Items

There is a set of eight items - the Seven Sword, Eleven Shield, Boiled Chicken, Moist Bread, Spicy Chicken, Mille Crepe, Chicken Link, and Pure Honey - which are present but inaccessible in the game by itself, but which were distributed in a Japanese event held by the 7-Eleven convenience store chain. All of these are currently inaccessible outside Japan, since 7-Eleven is not in the habit of holding game events like this in other countries. It is possible they will be released by some other means in the future.

The following dialogue and assets relating to the Flashy Man, the NPC from whom players collect these items after using the distribution event, are also currently unused outside Japan.

Missing DLC

The Fire Emblem Cipher trading card game's June starter deck contains a download code which adds four decorative items based on the card game's mascots to Shadows of Valentia: the Hard Worker’s Ribbon, the Black Crescent Moon, the Warrior’s Warding Bell and Vagabond’s Hairclip. Since the card game is Japan-exclusive, the download codes do not function in international releases and the items are not otherwise available, but all of their icons are still in all versions of the base game.

Revisional Differences

Version 1.1

This patch was released worldwide on June 22, 2017.

• Corrects a bug where certain menu areas which use eye crops of unit portraits - including the experience bar, the results screen and the combat forecast's character support listings - failed to render the portraits of any present DLC characters. In most regions, the patch was released shortly after the Cipher Legends DLC maps, which added the game's first DLC characters.
• Corrects a font error affecting Celica's Ragnarok Ω combat art in all American and European localizations. The Ω character was missing from the font used by the message notifying the player that the art has been learned, which resulted in the message reading "Your Beloved Zofia unlocked the Ragnarok ? combat art!". This issue did not affect the Japanese version, where the art is called "True Rainarok" (真ライナロック) instead, and the Simplified and Traditional Chinese translations were also not affected for the same reason.
• Corrects a font error that Act 5's title "再会、そして…" is not correctly displayed in the Japanese text. The glyph for ellipsis "…" was missing in "SystemL" font which is used in the Japanese chapter title screens, and hence the title was displayed as "再会、そして?". The Simplified and Traditional Chinese translations were not affected: The title in both Chinese translations contains ellipses as well ("重逢之后……" in Simplified and "重逢之後……" Traditional), but the Chinese fonts "SystemL_S" and "SystemL_T" have been including ellipsis already.
• Corrects a logical error in the sidequest "The Prisoner's Whereabouts". Alm and the Deliverance would rescue the merchant in Nuibaba's Abode repetitively by reading the writing in the Sylvan Shrine again.
• Corrects script errors in the Simplified and Traditional Chinese localizations.
