This month Nintendo unveiled its new trailers for both the Fire Emblem / Shin Megami Tensei crossover Wii U game and the standalone Fire Emblem game for 3DS. The appearance of the former game was especially exciting, as no one had proof it was even still being worked on since 2013.
Everything we know about the FE/SMT game is from this trailer, as not much has been revealed (per the Nintendo custom), not even when the game is due to come out (we at least know Japan will see it before year's end). Much of it looks completed. The Japanese title is "Illusory Reflections #FE" (yes, with a hashtag) but Nintendo is not Square and there is probably a more traditional, localized title coming our way.
The next Fire Emblem is all about you -- literally. Unlike previous games in the series, the story will center around the character you create, and will be directed based on which side of the battle you choose: the peacelike Hoshido or the gruff and dark Nohr. There are two sides for more than just story reasons: choosing Hoshido results in an easier game for beginners, while veterans who want a challenge will be more satisfied with Nohr. The game is due out sometime in 2016.
