* [[Cash Cow Franchise]]: In Japan, the series has been this since ''Mystery of the Emblem'', but [[Invisible Advertising]] resulted in the series being lesser known out of Japan until ''Awakening'' debuted on the 3DS in 2012/3, with extensive advertising, thus putting the series on the road to being one of Nintendo's biggest IPs out of Japan too. 2017 was the year the dam really broke, with ''Shadows of Valentia'', ''Heroes'' and ''Warriors'' all landing that year (''Shadows of Valentia'' having the shortest mainline turnaround time to export in franchise history), with both packaged games selling very well and ''Heroes'' turning into a legitimate global phenomenon that could crack the top 5 grossing charts in America and contribute to Nintendo's bottom line so heavily that they discuss it at length in investor reports.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: The official term used when a unit becomes a different class, on both sides of the Pacific, is ''Class Change.'' Since units get a boost in stats, weapon proficiency, and/or a level reset, (Western) fans always say they ''promote.''▼
* [[Fan Nickname]]:
* [[Fan Translation]]: Given that all the ''Fire Emblem'' games from ''The Dark Dragon and the Sword of Light'' to ''The Sword of Seals'' were never released outside of Japan... They vary somewhat in quality and level of completion; only one or two are thoroughly complete.▼

** A ''Radiant Dawn'' Lets Play named the reinforcements who appear near the starting point of the map "Asshole Reinforcements". It's true. "Ambush-Spawning Reinforcements", or simply Ambush Spawns, is used to refer to reinforcements that move the turn they arrive.
** It's common to refer to the powerful but unfortunately named Bolganone tome as "Bologna".

* [[No Export for You]]: The entire series until, well, [[Marth Debuted in Smash Bros|you know...]]
** Sadly, given how late it is in the lifespan of the [[Nintendo DS]] and how long it's been since its Japanese release, ''[[Fire Emblem Akaneia|New Mystery of the Emblem]]'' seems to have headed this way too. Nintendo has made no comment on the notion of translating it, nor have they issued a cease and desist order to the [http://fe12ds.blogspot.com/ fans who are doing their own translation.]
*** Thankfully this seemed to be an isolated example, as [[Fire Emblem: Awakening|Awakening]] came to America with a bang. This might give New Mystery a shot in the arm, but it's unlikely.
*** For similar reasons, barring remakes it seems unlikely that either Jugdral game, ''Binding Blade'', or ''Gaiden'' will ever be exported - in some cases the source code for the games may no longer be available.
* [[Reclusive Artist]]: Shouzou Kaga is quite the enigma. He directed and designed every game through ''Thracia 776'', then abruptly splintered off from Nintendo to start up his own studio, created ''[[Tear Ring Saga]]'' (which got him and the game's publisher sued for being [[Sarcasm Mode|a little]] [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute|too much like]] ''[[Suspiciously Similar Substitute|Fire Emblem]]''), made an obscure sequel to it that came out [[Development Hell|4 years later]], then fell off the radar entirely. What's he been up to since? Your guess is a good as anybody's. It's also not clear why Kaga left Nintendo in the first place, and it seems he hasn't felt like making himself available to talk about it...
* [[What Could Have Been]]:
** There's evidence Soldiers were once intended to be playable in ''Mystery of the Emblem''.
** Jake - along with Beck, Darros, Wrys, Roger, and to a lesser extent Gotoh - was meant to return as playable characters in ''Mystery of the Emblem'', but was scrapped during development.
