Tear Ring Saga/Trivia

When the game was still being called Emblem Saga, it took place was in the same world as Akaneia/Jugdral Fire Emblem games, and was said to be happening around the same time as Shadow Dragon.
 * Fan Translation: An English patch exists for menus and some names.
 * Name's the Same: Some of the characters share the same name with some Fire Emblem characters. Some are intentional expies, like Barts, while others are unrelated, like Roger.
 * What Could Have Been: Initially the game was called Emblem Saga; the name was changed to Tear Ring Saga because of "various circumstances", but fans speculated that it was to avoid the obvious lawsuit from Nintendo. Despite the name change, Nintendo filed various lawsuits against Tirnanog and the publisher, Enterbrain. Enterbrain was found guilty and fined for breaking the Unfair Competition Law, but not for copyright infringement.
 * Xane was going to appear in the game.
 * Manaketes were going to appear. Given that Intelligent Systems has trademarked the name "Mamkute", they were replaced with the nigh identical Emiyu.
 * Runan was going to have blue hair, like almost every other Fire Emblem lead.
 * It would have been possible to "choose" the main characters by choosing who leads the armies.
 * The type of battles the player has the armies fight will determine what the units within specialize in (for example, arena grinding would eventually make the army good in the arena, but bad in group combat.
 * Growth rates were to be replaced with "growth curves", growth rates that change as the unit levels up.
 * The game was originally to use an isometric view, as in Final Fantasy Tactics; Berwick Saga would later use a hexagonal variant of an isometric map.
