Line 20:
* '''''[[Fire Emblem Akaneia|Fire Emblem Gaiden]]''''' ([[Famicom]], 1992) is the second game, taking place in the same world as the first game but on the fairly distant continent of Barensia, and its plot has minimal relation to that of the first game. It's the odd duck of the series, playing quite differently (falling closer to the typical bounds of the [[Eastern RPG]] genre) and featuring a lot of unique gameplay elements that haven't been seen since (or only in its [[Spiritual Successor|spiritual successors]] ''[[Fire Emblem the Sacred Stones]]'' and ''[[Tear Ring Saga]]''). A [[Fan Translation]] was completed in November 2009.
* '''''[[Fire Emblem Akaneia|Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem]]''''' ([[Super Famicom]], 1993) is the third title in the series, comprising both a compressed remake of the first game and a completely new sequel, giving players the option to skip to the sequel if they're already familiar with the original game. It was the subject of a two-part [[OVA]] series in Japan, which surprisingly did get dubbed into English long before ''[[Super Smash Bros Melee]]''. A fan translation was completed in March 2008.
** '''''[[Fire Emblem Akaneia|Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem
* '''''[[Fire Emblem Akaneia|BS Fire Emblem: Akaneia War Chronicles]]''''' ([[Super Famicom]] / [[Satellaview]], 1997) is a series of four Satellaview broadcast games based on the ''Mystery of the Emblem'' engine, telling a number of sidestories set before the beginning of the first game and between the first and third. Remakes of the four chapters were included as bonus content in ''New Mystery''. These games are generally not counted in the numbering scheme of the ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' series, though [[Guinness World Records]] does count them.
Line 158:
** One notable exception: The chapter in ''Blazing Sword'' where you have to cross the map covered in darkness and fight your way through a significant number of enemies to rescue [[The White Prince]], who has mediocre combat skills and one defender. Thankfully, his defender is an awesome Assassin, but he's only got so much durability on that sword. And if the Prince dies, you lose.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Every Fire Emblem has at least one scene where one of the villains -and not a sympathetic one!- comments on how even more evil one of his comrades is, and how that's terrible. A good example is how Caellach and Riev view [[Complete Monster|Valter]] in the Sacred Stones, due to the way he is [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil|implied to victimize women]]. Keep in mind that Caellach is a [[Sociopathic Soldier|sociopathic]] [[Career Killer]] who {{spoiler|killed Queen Ismaire}} and Riev is a [[Corrupt Church|fallen priest who worships and seeks to resurrect the god of evil]].
{{quote|
'''Riev''': Ah, Valter... You're a beast. You're bound to no country. You care nothing for friend or foe. Kill a man, claim a woman... You live for nothing more, you wretched beast. }}
* [[Everyone Is Related]]: Especially in ''Genealogy of the Holy War'', where it's a ''game mechanic.'' {{spoiler|Additionally, the degree to which the main characters and antagonists are all related in that game is [[Mind Screw|nothing short of boggling]].}}
Line 339:
** In ''The Blazing Sword'', the player is given both the magic general of all of Etruria (the most magically proficient country in the world) and an illiterate fourteen-year-old girl you recruit from the bad guys. The girl has the potential to be one of the best magic users in the game (It is debatable if she has enough time to realize that potential, though).
** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in this support conversation from Path of Radiance:

'''Tauroneo:''' ...
'''Largo:''' Hey, Tauroneo!
'''Tauroneo:''' Hmm?
'''Largo:''' Don't you think this army is a little odd? I mean, heck! It's not every day that you see soldiers from this many countries all mixed into one army. I've traveled and fought in a lot of strange places, but this is the first time I've seen anything quite like this.
'''Tauroneo:''' You're right. There are even former Daein soldiers in this army. There is no shortage of nationalities, to be sure. }}
** Don't let the title of "army" fool you. In most games, your units are just a [[Mildly Military|unusually large bunch of skilled individuals, not bothering with normal army stuff like uniforms or anything resembling ordered formations]]
