* [[Fan Nickname]]:
* [[Fan Translation]]: ''Gaiden'' and ''Mystery of the Emblem'' are so far the only ''complete'' ones for the entire series. The in-progress one for ''New Mystery of the Emblem'' aims to be just as complete and polished to be reminiscent of what an official translation in the style of ''Shadow Dragon'''s would be like.▼
** ''Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light'':
*** Gordin has Gaggles and '''[[Disgaea|Captain Gordin, Defender of Earth!]]'''
*** Matthis is infamous for his [[Artificial Stupidity]] of being able to kill his beloved sister Lena as an enemy. Fans label any other character who does something like this as having "Matthis Syndrome".
*** Wendell has either "Windell" or "The Pope", the second one due to the mitre he always wears.
* [[Fan Translation]]:
** Obviously a necessity, since only ''Shadow Dragon'' was officially localized. As of November 2012, all five Japan-only games can now be enjoyed in English with these, including ''Archanea War Chronicles'' through the remakes of its maps in ''New Mystery of the Emblem''.

* [[Fountain of Expies]]:
** ''Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light'':
*** Cain and Abel started the archetype of a green cavalier partnered with a green cavalier with whom they have a [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]] dynamic, with the green one specializing in Skill and Speed.
*** Jagen as the progenitor of the "[[Crutch Character|Jeigan Archetype]]".
*** Gordin began the long line of Archers that join you early on.
*** Ogma is the model for the "Ogma archetype", the bulkier, strength-oriented swordfighter build received early in the game with the potential to become one of the player's better units.
*** Julian to low-level thieves who join early on.
*** Lena is for every game in the series since her has a [[White Mage]] that joins early on.
*** An odd example for Navarre: he was the progenitor of the archetype's trademark [[Fragile Speedster]] build and general circumstances of recruitment, and it's named for him, but depending on who you ask, either [[Fire Emblem Jugdral|Ira]] or [[Fire Emblem Elibe|Rutger]]<ref>This is debatable in that the Swordfighters of Jugdral are a "middle ground" between the modern Mercenary and Myrmidon, with the player's available ones representing both sides of the coin; the class's outright distinct debut was in ''Sword of Seals''.</ref> are the ones who implemented the archetype's associated class: the Myrmidon, which Navarre himself later became in the remakes.
*** Merric is for the "Merric" archetype, early-game mages who tend to be the best playable mage of the game.
*** Maria is for slightly later female healers, often young nobles; her expies alternate between being Clerics or Troubadours.
*** Minerva is for the "Minerva" archetype: [[Dragon Rider]]s, often ([[Fire Emblem Elibe|but not]] [[Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones|always]]) red-armoured females who start as enemies, are generally dissatisfied with their service to the enemy, and are recruited by way of [[Heel Face Turn]].
*** Palla, Catria and Est are the progenitors of the archetype of the Pegasus Knight trio who, when together, can initiate a Triangle Attack. Additionally, Est alone is the progenitor of the "[[Magikarp Power|Est Archetype]]": a unit, often young and/or female, who joins the player at a very low level late in the game, but has fantastic growths and is capable of becoming an excellent unit if the player takes the time to do so.
*** Arran and Samson started the archtype of having the choose one character and overlooking the other in a play through.
*** All generals loyal enough to serve his or her kingdom to the end, but end up being persuaded nonetheless, can be traced back to Lorenz.
*** Gotoh is for the "Gotoh Archetype", an [[Eleventh-Hour Ranger]] who joins in the penultimate or final chapter.
*** In Malledus' case: after ''Fire Emblem 1'', there's always been a tactician/advisor/strategist in the army or kingdom that gives advice to the main character. Only recently did they double as playable characters.
*** Michalis started a long line of [[Ambition Is Evil|ambitious]] bosses that do anything the seize power.
* [[Marth Debuted in Smash Bros]]: The [[Trope Namer]] and current world record holder (nineteen years from ''Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light'' to the international release of ''Shadow Dragon''; seven years from international debut in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' to international release of ''Shadow Dragon'').
* [[Name's the Same]]:
** ''Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light'':
*** Cain (originally romanized as Kain) shared his name with [[Fire Emblem Jugdral|Kain]] before ''Shadow Dragon'' came stateside. Incidentally, Kain is the Abel archetype of Thracia 776, even though his name seems to suggest he is Cain archetype instead.
*** Linde (originally romanized as Linda) shared her name with [[Fire Emblem Jugdral|Linda]] at least before ''Shadow Dragon'' was relased in the West anyway.
*** Arran has a case of this, with two characters, no less. Depending how you Romanise his name: with either Alan of ''Sword of Seals'', or with Aran of ''Radiant Dawn''.
** ''Fire Emblem Gaiden'':
*** Atlas is not a recurring high-leveled gladiator from ''[[Fire Emblem Jugdral|Fire Emblem: Genealogy of The Holy War]]''.
Line 9 ⟶ 39:
** Now that ''[[Fire Emblem: Awakening]]'' is out and very successful on the 3DS, it seems like the main issue was one of timing: the game came out in Japan in July of 2010, and the 3DS landed on March 2011. So it would've been a DS game releasing at a time when Nintendo was trying to push 3DS games. ''[[Pokémon]]'' might have had the clout to stay on the DS, but it's likely ''New Mystery'' simply missed its release window.
* [[Promoted Fanboy]]: Kenta Nakanishi was a fan of the original ''Fire Emblem Gaiden'' and had the honor of directing ''Echoes''.
* [[Remade for the Export]]:
* [[Remade for the Export]]: ''Gaiden'' was originally only released in Japan back in 1992, but the 2017 [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake (''Shadows of Valentia'') received an international release and, having come after ''Awakening'' and ''Fates'', was probably produced in part with the idea that it was easier to export. They decided ''Echoes'' was a good title to use to appeal to international players.▼
** ''Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light'' got a remake that was a given an international release under the title of ''Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon''.

* [[What Could Have Been]]: Data exists in ''[[Fire Emblem]] 3'' (on the Super Nintendo) to suggest that Gotoh and the missing characters (Darros, Wrys, Jake, Beck and Roger) were indeed considered to return as playable.
