Fire Emblem Warriors update 1.2 launches on November 16th and Nintendo has revealed what it will bring to the game.
The most unique feature is "Disrobe". This works in conjunction with the new weapon attribute, "Armour Piercer Blow". When hit by a weapon with this attribute, characters will enter an "armour break" state that lowers defence and overall resistance. When Rowan and Lianna enter this state, their armour will be destroyed. Remember Ghouls 'n Ghosts? Just like that.


It's not all bad for the two royals, however. While they now have the added worry of potentially running around the battlefield wearing nothing but their underwear, update 1.2 also includes two really snazzy new costumes: Gold Prince and Gold Princess.


Does that gold armour remind you of anything? Maybe it's just us, but...

Elsewhere, Japanese players will be able to download the “English Voice Pack”, new blessings will be added to the temple and it will be possible to sell weapons in bulk. There will also be bug fixes, too.
What do you make of this update? Let us know with a comment.

More like senran kagura when you take a lot of damage.
I wonder why all the armour in games is so flimsy nowadays...
Brilliant!
Heh, not sure what's the point of disrobe other than the simplest kind of lol... I could live without it
Unlike most Anime Characters, the twins get their vests and pants from Marks and Sparks.
@SanderEvers
I bought this but still haven't played it yet. Is it as good as Hyrule Warriors?
@readyletsgo Yes. It's better IMO.
@Damo awesome!!! I might start it this week so. Ta!
Is it just me or is the completely new and free History Mode map not even mentioned in this article?
Does the bug fixes include more stability or is that a given?
Bulk selling, finally! Had to sell weapons to make room for newer ones and god was it horrible...
Also, yay for more maps and costumes
Enemy clothes fall off in Fates as well.
@yeayeanaynay I feel your pain.
@GameOtaku Ghosts 'n Goblins is the original Senran Kagura!
Yet to get the game but this is cool.
I picked this up and played through a few missions, but right now I'm just not feeling a warriors game. I like the genre and loved hyrule warriors, but lately I have been playing Mario Odyssey and just got 100% on my Metroid Samus Returns playthrough. Then on Friday I am getting Doom and next week is LA Noire and Skyrim so I don't know when I will pick this up again.
Yup very Super GnG with that when you think about it so nice historical reflection there.
I won't be getting this. I've tried to like warriors games and no matter what they stuff it into with even a loved franchise like Gundam in the past for one, I can't deal with it after a few hours. It gets both boring and also a bit annoying too.
Either way Nov has Doom, Skyrim, Axiom Verge, and RIME so I'll have too much to deal with anyway for awhile and I'm piddling along slowly with mario so it's unfinished by a long shot too.
That golden armour looks extremely good. If what the comments are saying is true, I'm also looking forward to another map (even though I haven't finished a single one from the base game yet :') )
@Damo @readyletsgo Just to add. While the game is great, it certainly has less content then the base Hyrule Warriors did and many of the movesets for characters are the same.
Also the finale sucked in comparrison to good ol' Ganon bashing.
Personal note. Any word on level cap increases? 99 seems way too quick to achieve. I'm a grinder though so probably one of the very few who seeks punishment of more exp gathering.
I want to play this more. I was liking it. Dividing my time between it and Stardew Valley. But then Mario Odyssey happened and I haven't had time to play FE Warriors AND Mario Odyssey AND Stardew AND work full time AND sleep... I had to cut something, and since cutting sleep makes work far less tolerable, FE warriors got put on the back burner, next to Splatoon 2, Minecraft Story mode, Golf Story, Fate Extella and DBZ Xenoverse. lol
And with Xenoblade coming out early in December, and I want to pick up Doom and LA Noire.... omg. XD
@readyletsgo yes! Except that it's not Zelda, the gameplay itself is better
sounds like some terrible fan service games I have played on Vita. No thanks
The update add an arena where the twins can fight against a lot of enemies whitout bases and their army.If that had been in Hyrule Warriors,I would have played it for 2000 hours instead of 1000.
@SanderEvers Totally relatable
Seeing the add of new costumes, even tacky gold, is nice. Hope to see more free DLC costumes.
How do we make our game better?
Western publisher: Explodable vehicles! Explodable environments!
Japanese publisher: Explodable pants! Explodable shirts!
I'll gladly take even more History mode maps.
I hope there's a few free characters included in an update.
So dumb question. How does one change outfits?
@Damo Yeah I have to agree. Hyrule Warriors is one of the strongest warriors, but FE is way better, simply because the gameplay is more fluid and the gameplay is so different between the characters.
Also no armor is 12 out of 10.
@NEStalgia Japan...please never change!
@Expa0
Everything is made in China now, quality suffers bigly
@readyletsgo It depends. I think Story mode was a little bit better in FE Warriors compared to Hyrule Warriors. But for me the best part of Hyrule Warriors was Adventure Mode. FE Warriors has History Mode instead, and it’s nowhere near as good as Adventure Mode.
Also, I think the character roster and move sets are much better in Hyrule Warriors. So for me, FE Warriors is a great game and absolutely worth playing if you like the genre, but Hyrule Warriors is a much better game overall.
Sooo......will they be adding this feature to all the characters at some point? I'd imagine a huge chunk of the fanbase would buy both copies to see their waifus "disrobe", haha. XD
@SuperTeeter64 Same place where you change weapons. Either camp or convoy.
The japanese version only gets an english voice pack? No english translation support?
@JoakimZ @leo13 @XenoShaun thanks for all the advice guys!
Just make a Senran Kagura Warriors game already.
Where's Camilla with no armor?
@Crillan
Oh boy! And we should be glad that Nowi isn't in the game or we all would be on jail.
Is it just for the 2 lords?
@Frank90 She's over 100!! She just looks 12.......
@NEStalgia Yeah tell that to the cops hahahahhahahah
@Frank90 I swear, officer, she's a 174 year old quasi-goddess! Honest! She just looks young in her human form! Put me dooowwwnnn!!
It's all fun and games until the dragonstone comes out.....
@Damo @readyletsgo It is better than HW, if you remember Cia didn't have jiggle physics whereas Camilla does... 😊
@Tsurii Gotcha. Thanks. I honestly couldn't see a button input for it at all. Got the season pass too so I was real confused. Not that I care for the bride Lucina outfit really.
Bug fixes, good! Haven't played the game since my bro and I got a bad crash at the end of a mission a couple days after launch.
I like this new armor WAY more than their default armor, that's for sure.
@SanderEvers You didn't know? The less clothing you're wearing as a female in an MMORPG, the more well protected you are. Come on, this is like lolwtfbbq Basics 1.0.
How about giving us IKE instead ?
@readyletsgo If you know the differences between hyrule warriors on Wii U and 3DS, you will find that just about all improvements are present in FEW. I don't know the FE universe and found FEW very similar to HW, while looking absolutely stunning.
I am just not that sure I like the sexiness in this game. It has a 12 rating, but I wish there were a way to make it "good" for my 4yo button-mashing son. Now with additional disrobing.
Perhaps a toggle to 3+ rating would be possible...
@Locke159 your switch is made in china. does it suck in quality? Cuz mine is working great. Heck even good old gamecube is made in china. and I can still play it.
And remember that time when people say all things from Japan is jap crap? lol. Don't just praise the brand when the products are excellent and blame the manufacturer when things don't work. That's double standard.
@RGnsd
Easy there, it was only a joke lol its the whole ongoing Made in USA superior thing the Prez/media dishing out lately. Nothing against China made products, except I will take a shot at their knockoff figurines
Disrobing weapons already appeared in FE if/Fates. The NA version just simply cut it out during localization. I was pretty surprised they didn't do the same this time lolol.
@Locke159 hahaha I know I know. I know it's a joke and really didn't mean to be so harsh...I apologize for that. But darn those bootleg figurines!
