Fire Emblem™ - The Fires of War Rekindled!
Melbourne, Australia, February 3rd 2004 – After centuries of peace, smoldering rivals threaten to set the world aflame in a blaze of battle in Fire Emblem™ for the Game Boy Advance™ launching Australia-wide on February 20th, 2004.

A traveler has fallen on the Saka Plain in the easternmost realm of Elebe, and an orphaned young woman named Lin comes to the traveler’s aid.  After she nurses the traveler back to health, the two embark on a journey to hone their respective skills at swordplay and battle strategy.  Shortly after their journey begins, Lin must confront an unexpected destiny. She learns she is heir to the throne of the neighboring Rikea and becomes entangled in the struggle for succession.  Once this news is known, knights come to serve her while assassins come to take her life.  Being a well-schooled military strategist, the traveler she rescued reciprocates by coming to her aid and vowing to return her safely to Rikea, her grandfather’s homeland.

Features:

• Test your skills as a military strategist, as you guide your forces in battles with wizards and dragons.
  
• Dominate the field war with dozens of soldiers, weapons and magic spells that will be at your command.
  
• Take control of an army of soldiers, but use them wisely.  Each of your soldiers possesses unique skills but, if they fall in battle, then they're lost forever!
  
• Strike from above with your Pegasus Knights or guide your armored footman in close combat.
  
• Clear a specific objective in each level to proceed to the next. Special events open up branches in the storyline and offer more difficult side quests.
  
• Challenge friends to see who has the stronger band of soldiers in the multi-player mode.
  

Fire Emblem will have a suggested retail price of $69.95 and is rated G8+ Medium Level Animated Violence by the Office of Film and Literature.

A RPG highbrid of advanced wars. Nothing bad can come of this game. Does anyone know what the multiplayer is like?

The only reason I read that was to hear the "other" news. Crap.  

[Bloodworth]

Wait, did they like retranslate this game for Australia or what?  Rikea?  Sounds like they took that direct from the Japanese.  In the US, it's spelled Lycia.
