Issue 47: The Advance of Series 17! The 4th Anniversary!!
Hello, everyooone!!!!!!!
And...
Thank you for coming to Cipherfest 2019!
Cipherfest was so exciting!
It really was. WEST was held on 6/2, and EAST was held on 6/16--and both had plenty of attendees.
All the energy from the attendees and the stage really put the 'fest' in Cipherfest!
And speaking of the stage... the battle between Sir Michihiko Hagi--voice of Sir Ike--and Producer Kawade was a spectical like no other!
The Cavalier Duo's performance was pretty good too.
It was so hard to pick between everything that was for sale at the shop!
In the end, not only did you buy everything you saw, but you also got every poster from the Minigame Corner and every signature from every artist.
I thought... the Cipherfest Quest was fun...
Aye, without a doubt! With our power combined, we were able to clear it. It was a great experience!
Oh, there were just too many things to do and not enough time to do them all!
Ufufu, it feels like we're all having a hard time shaking off the Cipherfest hype.
But for Cipher... the real fun this summer begins in earnest now!
Oops, that's right... let's go, everyone! One, two...!
Happy 4th anniversary, Cipheeer!
And...
Happy release day for the Advance of All Heroes booster packs and Warriors of Bonds starter deeeck!!

Clap clap clap claaap!! Cipher's 4 years old! ...we are now entering year 5!
Sniff... Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I can't help but get teary-eyed!
No, that's no different than usual...
There's a real feeling of motion in this packaging, pretty impressive!
The heroes of Fire Emblem have united... that's the impression it gives, at least.
Yes! Series 17 "The Advance of All Heroes" is in celebration of Cipher's 4th anniverary, so characters from every entry in the series appear this time!
It's a full assault! And one gorgeous enough to befit the 4th anniversary!
Ohhh~! Wow, there really are a looot of heroes here!
Ufufu. And there are these cards as well!
Huh!? Characters from Three Houses as well!? They really did it!
Fire Emblem: Three Houses releases for the Nintendo Switch on Friday, 7/26... which means these cards have released an entire month prior to the game.
Really feels like a celebration! ...or something like that!
So many interesting cards... I must study them...
And they have a lot of interesting skills as well. That said, I would highlight Marth and Chrom's "Advance of All Heroes" skill!
That's the skill Producer Kawade used at Cipherfest!
Hey, isn't this the first time a skill has shared its name with the name of the series?
It is. It's because of how special it is, surely.
Seems like it lets you deploy more and more heroes, doesn't it?
"All Heroes, Advaaaance!" It feels really good to say it outloud!
It's a lot of fun, so I hope you get the chance to use it yourself in battle! First, you'll need to get your hands on the card though!
On top of that, the starter deck has a wide variety of heroes as well!
Waaah! Everyone looks so amazing, I'm dazzled by them!
Lady Lucina's card is signed by her voice actress, Lady Yuu Kobayashi. Great!
And isn't this new play sheet nice!
It looks like a Fire Emblem map... it really makes you feel like you are playing the game.
The variety is pretty cool! Feels like a great deal.
The starter deck... I need to check it too...
The Advance of All Heroes booster packs and the Warriors of Bonds starter deck. They're both enjoyable, so I hope plenty of people treat themselves!
You can find a list of shops in which they are for sale on our website, so please check it and purchase some for yourselves at your leasure.
Now that you mention it... aren't any card shops holding events in celebration of the anniversary?
Ufufu... of course! Actually, starting today, there are a couple different kinds of tournaments being held: the Starter Deck Tournament and All-Out Advance Pack Battle!
As the name implies, the Starter Deck Tournament requires you to use a starter deck. Perfect for people who are still getting used to the rules!
Participants will receive this Elise promo card!
Wow, how cute is this...!? Val!
Yes, my lady. I have already checked which shops have it available. Shall we take part after this?
Any starter deck released up until this point is fine, not just the new one. Pick whichever one your heart desires and come join in!
I shall try my hand at the All-Out Advance Pack Battle!
I played a bit at Cipherfest--the effects of the new Special Bond Cards are exciting! I must, must play more!
There are new lord marker cards and special bond cards as well, so those of you who are trying to keep a collection...
New... collection... Val!
Yes, my lady. I have already looked into nearby venues. Shall we also take part in this later?
More, more! In commemoration of the 4th anniversary, we are holding a Cipher Tutorial Tour at card shops nationwide, starting on 7/6!
By that, do you mean... people will be able to learn how to play the game from event staff?
That's right! People who have yet to experience Cipher can do so at their local card shops! Please try it for yourselves.
You'll get this promo card if you do! I'm so exciteeed!
For more information on the Starter Deck Tournament, All-Out Advance Pack Battle, and Cipher Tutorial Tour, please check our website at your leisure.
Vaaal~!!
Yes, my lady, yes. Shall I add them all to our schedule?
All this to say... this summer is going to be a hot one for Cipher!
Yeah! I wanna get the new booster packs and play a whole bunch!
Aye! There are strong new additions to every color--the time for study and training is now.
Every release day is exciting... but this is on a different level.
I can't wait anymore! Let's cut the chitchat and go to the store!
Verification of and research into new skills... I need to get started...
It appears they can wait no longer. Well, I feel the same...
Me too! Then let's head to the card shops and get some new cards!
Everybody, be sure to spend this summer...
Enjoying Cipher to the fulleeeest!!!!!!!
