About and How We Verify

What this site is

fortunesweave.online is an independent reference for Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, the Nintendo Switch 2 entry released on September 17, 2026. It covers characters, classes, materials, gifts, supports, paralogues, activities, equipment and locations, plus the tools that make those lists usable while you are playing.

The site is built around one constraint: provenance. Most of what matters in this game is printed on screen rather than exported, so values are established by reading in-game screens, comparing captures and cross-checking independent reports. Growth rates are a good example, since the detailed status screen shows them directly once the stat display is toggled. A number without a source behind it is worth less than no number at all.

File-level work on the Switch 2 build became a factor in late October 2026, when a community datamine surfaced unused roster names and DLC lord assets. Those findings are reported on the datamine page and labelled as reported rather than confirmed; they are kept out of the databases here, which only carry units and values the game itself exposes.

Who maintains this site

The site is maintained by CT under the fortunesweave.online imprint. It is run as a reference project rather than a media outlet: no sponsored content, no affiliate placement inside database rows, and display advertising only in the gaps between sections where it cannot interrupt a table or a step list. Editorial decisions are limited to source tiering, conflict disclosure and check dates.

It is an unofficial fan project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Nintendo or Intelligent Systems, and the trademarks and copyrights in the game remain with their owners. The official product page is linked from the footer for anyone who wants the publisher's own description.

How information is verified

Every data row carries its sources, one of four evidence tiers, and the date it was last checked. The tiers mean specific things:

Official

The game's own product page, Nintendo presentations and patch notes.

Cross-checked

Two or more independent sources agree on the same figure on the same day. This is the strongest tier a non-official figure can reach.

Source-reported

One source, dated. Common in the weeks after a release, and labelled so you can weigh it accordingly.

Community-reported

A forum or Discord lead with no second source yet. Treated as a lead to chase, never as a published figure.

When sources conflict, both figures are printed with their own dates rather than averaged or silently resolved. Two guides disagreeing about a quest deadline is information; a single confident number invented to hide that disagreement is not. Rows also carry the date they were last checked, which is deliberately allowed to differ from the page date: a patch can invalidate one row without touching the rest of the page.

Where the information comes from

Four families of source feed the databases. Official material covers the Nintendo product page, presentations and patch notes. Community reference wikis supply structured lists that can be checked against each other. Established games media supply walkthrough-level detail and location reporting. Video coverage, including captioned guide and playthrough footage, supplies the finest-grained mechanical detail, since it is the closest thing to watching the game being played.

Community posts are treated as leads only. A claim that appears solely on a forum or a chat server is recorded as Community-reported, then chased against a second source before it can be presented as established.

Is Fortune's Weave a sequel to Three Houses?

The developers answered this directly in Nintendo's own Ask the Developer Vol. 23, published 15 September 2026. Producer Masahiro Higuchi: "While this title is set in a world connected to Fire Emblem: Three Houses, both the time period and the region are different. We developed the game with the guiding principle that players should be able to fully enjoy it as a standalone title, even if they aren't familiar with Fire Emblem: Three Houses. So rather than thinking of it as a sequel, we'd like players to see it as a new title."

Genki Yokota, producing for Nintendo, put the same point another way: the intention was "not to make a simple sequel" but to build a new title in the same world, with a story that stands entirely apart. Director Toshiyuki Kusakihara placed that world geographically: the game takes place on the continent of Dagda, south of Fodlan, in a region ruled by a god-led empire rather than by the church.

So neither label fits cleanly. Nintendo has never called this a sequel, and it has never called it a prequel either; the interviews say the time period differs and leave the direction of that difference unstated. What is safe to write, and what the game assumes, is that Fortune's Weave is a standalone campaign in a shared world, with the same continent-spanning mythology reachable through crests, relics and a handful of returning names rather than through a continuing plot.

Corrections

Send corrections to [email protected]. A correction that gets acted on fastest includes the page, the row, what it should say, and where the new figure can be checked. Screenshots or a clip are the strongest evidence, because they let the row move straight to Cross-checked instead of waiting on a second write-up.

Accepted corrections are reflected in the row check date, and material conflicts are recorded rather than quietly overwritten. The patch timeline records which patches triggered a re-check.
