(“The Cipher Frontier! With Emma, Shade, Yuzu, Randal, Alice & Val” is a regular column on the Fire Emblem Cipher website which summarises upcoming news concerning Cipher and other Fire Emblem materials. It is hosted by the six mascot characters. The following is a full translation of the 32nd issue of the column, originally published on the 21st of September, 2017.)

More Fire Emblem Cipher Series 10 translations!

Certainly… Allow me to introduce Series 10, “Crossroads”!

Ohoho! Is that right? Shade, why don’t you get started introducing Series 10?

I, too, have now made my debut. If I may be so bold, the game of Cipher grows still more alluring.

Oh, everybody! With the release of Series 10, I have now joined the battle myself. It will be a pleasure to make all of your acquaintances!

They are merely overjoyed to the point of delirium. You would do well to leave them be, milady.

Listen, Val… Is this not precisely how they reacted to Series 9?

I’m just so… So happy… So giddy…!

Sniff… I’m just so happy that… I could cry…!

Speaking of which, today is the big day! Cipher Series 10, “Crossroads”, is on! Sale! Now!

That said, of course, for all of you who are reading this, this autumn is…

To hone one’s taste for the finer things is vital for an aristocrat… I would expect no less of you, milady.

But of course, I see it as the season for the fine arts!

To me it’s always been the season for going out for quiet outings and good food.

Speaking of, it truly is the season for sports!

Mm. It won’t be long before autumn is upon us.

Hey, the weather’s been getting cooler and cooler lately, hasn’t it?

In short, it features cards with skills that build up your bond cards, cards which use that build-up of bond cards, and others like that.

Bond… acceleration?! I’m not sure I get it, but… it has such a cool sound to it!

Leif, the hero of “Thracia 776”, fights beneath the “Holy War Flag” symbol. And this time, the symbol’s gimmick is… “Bond Card Acceleration!”

Ohh! It’s Leif and Alfonse! And look, the boy and girl Kanas are there, too!

Also, Alfonse and the other characters from “Heroes” mark the debut of cards which completely lack identifying symbols !

Bond acceleration…! Such a marvelous ability! Imagine the new strategic possibilities this provides!

Also, the cards from “Fates” - themed after “Heirs of Fate”, are bringing another first to the game this time, one that’s the exact opposite of Alfonse and his companions: cards with two symbols !

Symbol-less cards, huh… So you can deploy these with any face-up bond card?! That’s an intriguing way to fight, huh?

Now, here are the bonuses you will receive from this booster box!

Milady speaks the truth. …Although, none were as impatient for Series 10 as her. Such was milady’s excitement that all through the night, she remained utterly sleepless.

Hee hee… Such restless. You commoners truly are uncomplicated.

Everything here’s so interesting! I wanna hurry up and open “Crossroads” alreadyyy!

So when you put one in the Bond Area, it fulfills the dual role of both symbols… Or so I suppose.

Also, also, also! Here are Series 10’s signed and panorama cards!

These “Thracia 776” and “Heroes” sleeves are so cool!

Ohh, Lady Eirika and Lord Ephraim are the preview promotional cards! I can scarcely wait to add them to my deck!

A Series 11 preview promotional card, and a commemorative second-anniversary reprint card. Not to mention, the original sleeves!

What’s more, along with the release of Seires 10, “ The Autumn of Cipher Is Here! Special Sticker Present Campaign ” also starts today! For every 8 booster packs you buy, you’ll get one sheet of special stickers!

And Leif and Nanna’s panorama art… It’s so pretty! It’s really tugging at the heartstrings!

There’s so many of ‘em! Looks like I’ll be rushing around left and right like usual, looking to get the full set!

These have been signed by Nobunaga Shimazaki, the voice of male Kana; Satomi Sato, the voice of female Kana; Tatsuhisa Suzuki, the voice of Alfonse; Maaya Uchida, the voice of Sharena; and Shinichiro Miki, the voice of the mysterious Bruno!

Wow, really? Heehee… I suppose I have no choice, then, but to give you a special look!

Now, now. Surely Alice’s acts are for the better. I, for one, am curious to see the deck that she built.

Why must you meet this news with such venom?! You completely misunderstand me! I did this not for myself… But… But because I thought our readers would appreciate a reference point for making their own decks! That is all!

Indeed. I worked through the night, in pursuit of early sales and the like…

Heh heh! An aristocrat is one who stands above all others… 'Tis only natural that I would be granted early access!

As it happens, I had the chance to construct a Series 10 deck somewhat early!

A-Alice?! What is it?

The sticker varieties available at a vendor may differ based on their stock. Do consult the campaign page for further details.

Their designs’re nice, too. Just right for sticking on a deck case or something.

So, you go to a shop participating in the campaign and buy Cipher to receive stickers? Truly, nobles and commoners alike are generous souls!

Wow! So Alfonse is its lord!

Quite right! Prince Alfonse dons the mantle of lord and calls upon various heroes of the Outrealms in this deck!

What a remarkable gathering of summoned heroes. …With a few others mixed in there, I suppose.

With Sir Alfonse’s “Liberation of Heroes” skill, you can deploy even stronger heroes from your orbs.

And by playing evades and the like, it looks like you’ll be able to fight without getting your orbs destroyed.

I see… Facing that kinda explosive power, when used properly, would be pretty scary.

Quite right. Even so, it feels as if a single error would put you in a spot of trouble.

But there isn’t a need to think about those sorts of errors! As long as one enjoys playing the game, that is what truly matters!

If it pleases you, consider using this deck as a reference point when constructing your own.

It’s a really fun deck, huh? I’ll build a deck, too, Alice, and we can do battle later!

W-well, er… If you insist… Then I, er, suppose I could grant you a game…?

Really? Yeaaah!

Alice! I shall be your next opponent after that!

Hey, this old man’s not about to lose to you, either.

My, what a challenge it is to be so popular! Await your turn in line, for I will take all you on one-by-one!

My, you’re all quite fired up. I wonder if I should call an end to this gathering and head for the card shops!

Yeah! Let’s all go right to the shops!

We really are lucky, aren’t we? Y'know, because Fire Emblem Cipher’s finally made it to Series 10!

We wouldn’t have come this far if it weren’t for all of you supporting us.

You have our gratitude. May you all continue to enjoy Cipher!

Series 10’s bursting with new toys to work with, too, so the end results of all this’ll be pretty interesting.

May all of you be absolutely sure to pick it up and play! Absolutely, absolutely… Absolutely!

Now, then…
