After its reveal in the Fire Emblem Nintendo Direct, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia received promotion online and in magazines like Famitsu. The game largely appears as it does after release though early screenshots reveal that the game went through some slight changes, mostly textual, shortly before release.

Pre-release history

Echoes: Shadows of Valentia had one of the shortest pre-release news cycles of any Fire Emblem series game, being announced only three months before the game's Japanese release, and only four months before the game's international release.

Initial reveal (January 18, 2017)

An Echoes: Shadows of Valentia trailer opened the Fire Emblem Nintendo direct.

Leak (Approx. April 3, 2017)

Shortly before Japanese release the game leaked online.

Differences to final

Known differences are minor text changes, both Japanese footage and English footage has some slight differences to final. It seems minor touches were still being made to some menus at the time that certain screenshots and footage were taken.

ATK is called ATC in early Japanese footage. This is somewhat notable as many Japanese Fire Emblem games used the ATC abbreviation until this point. Interestingly the change to ATK, and thus as it appears in final, was reflected in footage released very shortly after the direct.

The class name for Social Knights (Cavaliers) was written differently. The name "Ｓナイト", S Knight, is an abbreviation of Social Knight used in Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light and some menus of Mystery of the Emblem.

Some early English screenshots did not yet have TEC changed to SKILL and LUC to LCK.
