Check out 01:51.

This game has guns in it.

A still from the first Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave trailer. It shows Dietrich fighting an unnamed woman. Dietrich is a tall, goth-looking man with white hair down to his shoulder blades. He is wearing elaborate black armour and wielding a glowing magic sword, made from a dragon's corpse. His sword is curved like a sabre and has a bunch of wicked-looking spikes jutting off the blade. He overall aesthetic is highly reminiscent of Alucard from Castlevania, or Elric of Melniboné from the works of Michael Moorcock. His opponent is a woman wearing a flowing white dress and cape. Her dress has a high slit so you can see her legs. Most pertinently to this post, the woman is holding a handgun. And it's not even a flintlock pistol, it's a modern-looking gun that resembles an Uzi. This might just be a placeholder asset, but she also has a gun holster strapped to her shoulder, so whatever the final weapon is, it's definitely going to be a gun.

I was so sure you joke because in my head this person had a blue sword. But no, you are right.

I thought that too, because in motion there are lots of magic sparks coming off it. But then someone on another forum said there was a gun and yeah, it's a gun. I expect it will be replaced with a more fantastical design in the final game, but the lady has a holster on her shoulder, so it's definitely a gun of some sort.
