Will There Be New Features In The OG Fire Emblem Game?

The short answer is no, but yes. No, because this Fire Emblem game will exactly replicate the feels and the vibes of what the game looked like back in the 1990s. That said, there won't be any graphic enhancement because everything will be in retro.

Yes, because there will still be a modern touch to this classic game, you can choose over 50 playable characters. Each character brings a unique skill set that defines their craft on the table. The game will also feature a save state and rewind mechanism, and they let you tailor the challenge and undo your mistakes.
