Fire Emblem Actress Tara Platt Reveals Why She Loves and Can Relate to Edelgard (Exclusive)

Actor Tara Platt has been in the Fire Emblem series for over a decade and has provided the voices of characters such as Flavia and Miriel. However, the role she might be best known for in the series is Edelgard. Platt has provided the voice of the character in several games, first a Fire Emblem: Three Houses and then repeat it in later games like Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopesi Fire Emblem Engage. In an interview with ComicBook, Platt talked about how he relates to Edelgard and what draws him to the role.

“I love Edelgard and the other characters I’ve played in Fire Emblem. And I will continue to work on it as long as I can. Because I think they’re great and I really feel like I’ve been blessed and lucky to bring a character like Edelgard… who’s so conflicted! It goes back to characters who are doing their best, trying really hard,” Platt said. “And I feel like it’s easy for me to come in, because as a human I’m trying really hard and I’m not always doing a good job, but i’m trying And so I’m honored to be able to play characters like that and I’ll do it as long as people let me.”

Platt was quick to note that there are no teasers about any potential future work in the Fire Emblem series, given the current SAG-AFTRA video game strike. So, while it’s possible we’ll hear her in the role of Edelgard in future games, there’s no word on that at the moment.

In this regard, the future of the Fire Emblem series is currently unknown. Fire Emblem Engage was released last year, and Nintendo has been quiet about the next entry in the series. Given the franchise’s worldwide popularity, it’s likely we’ll see a new game in the next year or two. However, we may be waiting until the release of the Nintendo Switch 2. At this point, Nintendo’s new system does not have a release window, but we do know that the system will be revealed before March 2025.
