Fortune’s Weave Almost Had Eight Protagonists, Then Found a Fifth to Tie It All Together

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave could have explored eight story perspectives, but developers reduced to four main protagonists and added a fifth, Eshmel, to unify the narratives. Guns appear for the first time in the series, with a narrative purpose hinted by time travel elements; the fate of the four original leads remains unclear, leaving open possibilities for recruitables or future DLC.
