Since releasing way back in February 2017 - just before the launch of the Switch, in fact - Fire Emblem Heroes has received multiple updates to add new content and streamline the gaming experience. As a result, keeping up to date with the game can take up a lot of your precious smartphone storage space, but this is all about to change.
Releasing in early October, version 2.10.0 will add the usual list of new features and improvements including a 'Lite Data' version to tackle that pesky and ever-increasing file size. To do this, the Lite version lowers the quality of the graphics and sound found within the app, reportedly reducing the overall file size "by about 75%" with results varying depending on your particular device.
Naturally, if you have a limited amount of space on your phone and have been holding off from trying Nintendo's mobile hits, now could be a perfect time to join in. Among other things, this new update also brings an 'Abyssal' difficulty to the Grand Hero Battle rotation (which will enable players to earn gold versions of accessories), and new Weapons and Weapon Skills to refine.
Of course, Nintendo's latest mobile effort Dragalia Lost also launched last week, surpassing $3 million in revenue in just five days. As impressive as that is, though, Fire Emblem Heroes had already raked in a whopping $13 million by that stage. Wow.

75%, that's quite the optimisation...
I think I could cope with crappy jpegs and low quality mp3s. I have mine set to skip all battle animations, so I'm really just looking at little chibi people most of the time anyway.
Oh cool, yes the app size is getting a bit out of control
Found it. Just check the box marked "Disable Gratuitous Fan Service" and boom! 75% reduction in app size.
I reduced it by 100% shortly after it came out
Ok then, that's great. So, about Dragalia Lost... yeah. My phone... Not happening. Can y'all apply a little optimization to DL so my poor phone can have a shot at it?
I probably won't be investing long hours into it anyway, but still... I've test driven all of Nintendo's mobile attempts so far at least.
So, how’s this game. I really like the FE games but haven’t tried this one. Does micro transactions kill the game?
This is impressive but I still don't like that you can't trade with friends. I get it that hackers would ruin it for us but still, it's been two years now (?) and I still don't have a normal Marth (of any rarity) despite pulling red orb pretty regularly. But if anyone wants a 5 star Camilla or a Xmas Lissa let me know...
Seriously there should be a "no duplicates" option you can tick to improve the gacha lottery
Ideal, I dont bother with the sound or animations with this game.
Still playing since day one and done 6 months without using real money. I'm so proud of myself
@Desrever
And you have to play on Silent Mode if you don't want FIYA EMBUREM: HEROES to sound loudly when the app opens. Low-quality audio won't affect me.
Hmm, maybe I'll give this another go. I quickly deleted it due to its 500MB(ish) file size. Might have been more than that actually? I can't remember how much space mobile games take up these days
That's fine but they better not remove any petting games!
This is the right thread right?
This was almost certainly done to help people pick up Dragalia Lost, which is really considerate. I might not use it since my initial motivation for getting it was to hear what old favorites like L'Arachel and Joshua would sound like. It's a great fallback option if I need it, though.
@carlos82 same pretty much, except, I took 3 months in doing so
