The original game, the second in the Fire Emblem series, never got an international release.

Slightly less blue and green hair, it seems! Fewer lantern jaws, too. However, the updated art does keep distinctive features of the characters but in a contemporary fashion. It’s interesting to note the big — and subtle — differences.
Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia was released on April 20 in Japan as Fire Emblem Echoes: Mou Hitori no Eiyuu Ou, which translates as Fire Emblem Echoes: Another Hero King). The game has a different subtitle for its upcoming Australian release on May 20.

Why are there missing art works?
Basically changing the characters from looking European to Oriental.
