Line 62:
*** Not to mention that {{spoiler|Ninian either has to say goodbye forever to the man she loves, or to her brother; and either way in turn, Nils ''won't'' ever see any of the new friends the two of them made ever again.}}
*** What about {{spoiler|Canas? His ending is "Canas returned to his family in Ilia. Some years later, he and his wife died trying to stop a snowstorm. His child was raised by his old mother. "}} [[Sarcasm Mode|That sure is uplifting!]]
* [[Boss Rush]]: Nergal resurrects and super charges 8 Bosses, releasing them one per round. You must defeat them all before you can challenge Nergal. [[Visible Silence|Their death quotes]] [[I Cannot Self
** [[Dual Boss]]: Lloyd and Linus are super pumped during the [[Boss Rush]] and challenge you simultaneously. Also [[That One Boss]] due to their insane equipment and their A-level support with one another. Ursula and Jerme are also Dual Bosses, albeit not nearly as frustrating since Jerme doesn't come at you wielding anything unusual.
** Interestingly, two of the bosses you fight during this [[Boss Rush]] (Jerme and Kenneth) are mutually exclusive, so for the first playthrough, you'll most likely think "Wait... who's ''that'' guy?"
* [[Brother
* [[Broken Record]]: Denning is a [[Golem|Morph]] made to repeat the message "This is a message from Lord Nergal. "I await you on the Dread Isle"". This makes him [[Ensemble Darkhorse|one of the more popular characters]] [[Memetic Mutation|for some reason.]])
* [[Call Forward]]: Plenty of them exist in ''Blazing Sword'', they tend not to make sense to overseas players, as ''Sword of Seals'' [[No Export for You|never got released outside of Japan]].
Line 75:
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: [[Artificial Stupidity]] aside, the AI of these games became ''highly'' pronounced as simply not caring about whether or not they won...so much as they kill ''one'' of your units and make you [[Rage Quit]] and restart the chapter.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Canas will remind people that Shamans study ''ancient'' magic, not ''dark'' magic, but he also knows firsthand that the forces he's handling are extremely dangerous and must be treated with caution. {{spoiler|His three brothers succumbed to it, and ended up as [[Empty Shell|Empty Shells]].}}
** [[Good Powers, Bad People|Kenneth is]] [[Light Is Not Good|not Good.]]
** [[Big Bad|Nergal]] understood this at first, [[All There in the Manual|but when he needed a massive power boost to rescue his family]], he gave in to the Dark Side.
* [[Dual
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: Lucius actually [[Dropped a Bridget On Him|confused Serra]] and [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Sain]].
* [[Disc One Final Dungeon]]: Chapter 19 of ''Blazing Sword''. The whole first half of the game leads up to a showdown with Ephidel, {{spoiler|who then gets [[The Unfought|unceremoniously slaughtered by a dragon]] when the ''real'' [[Big Bad]] makes his intentions and ability known}}.
Line 88:
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Uhai holds Lyn hostage, but only to deliver a message to the enemy so they won't shoot him, and to make himself look like a more vicious opponent. Even though he could have easily killed her, he lets her go because he says it is shameful to hold hostages during battle. When he dies, he tells the party the way to Dragon's Gate.
** The Ganelon Bandits are disgusted by the way the Taliver bandits work. And they are even offended when you ask if they belong to them.
* [[
* [[Face Palm]]: Kent when Sain introduces himself to Florina, [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v139/VincentASM/Site/FE7/04.png as shown here].
* [[Five

Line 136:
* [[Grey and Grey Morality]]: This almost borders to [[White and Grey Morality]] in a couple occasions. Several Black Fang bosses are indeed bad people, ''especially'' Jerme and Kenneth. However, Uhai [[Even Evil Has Standards|is above taking hostages, especially a Sacean woman]]. Lloyd, Linus, and Ursula likewise are not bad people, and Jaffar certainly looks this way at first.
* [[Guide Dang It]]: Many of the [[Sidequest|gaiden chapters]] require you to complete a chapter in a set amount of turns or to visit a certain village, but Chapter 19xx is notorious for having very strange ones: Leveling your [[Spoony Bard]] to level 7 (which means [[Level Grinding]] and lots of it) on your second playthrough of Lyn's tale (see [[Forced Tutorial]] above) and killing the [[Bonus Boss]] in Chapter 19x (itself a [[Sidequest]]).
** There's also a [[Sidequest|gaiden chapter]] unlocked by making sure your party gets a certain amount of experience while the enemy throws itself at a [[One
*** On a similar note, while you will inevitably fight and kill both of the Reed brothers, the game uses a somewhat obscure method to determine which one you fight first: The combined levels of your three Lords.
* [[Hello, Insert Name Here]]: The tactician.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Lyn and Florina, Hector and Eliwood, Raven and Lucius, Sain and Kent... there's a long list. See [[Ho Yay]] for how fans have taken it...
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: Sacaens supposedly never lie or break a promise, ever.
Line 152:
** Also, Lyndis almost was hit by Hector swinging his axe around and then she told him so. That was the start of their [[Slap Slap Kiss]].
* [[Luck Based Mission]]: In Battle Before Dawn, there's no physical way to reach Jaffar in time to guarantee that he will live on Hector's Hard Mode. If he dies, you don't get a side chapter ([[Captain Obvious|and you can't recruit him]]). In fact, Zephiel, who you [[Escort Mission|need to protect]], can be killed before you can ''get to the area''.
** In ''Blazing Sword'', attempting to defeat Kishuna in "Prisoner of Magic" can be tough. He has an incredible health, good defense, enough Evasion to ensure that ''nobody'' at this point in the game except Lyn, Eliwood, and Guy will have more than a 50% chance to hit him at all, and is a living [[Anti
*** Even more so trying to kill him in "Genesis", where he retreats as soon as you attack him or open the door to his chamber. (And his position makes him impossible to hit with anything other than a Longbow, though in Hector's Story he at least moves around enough to be within range of a regular ranged weapon.) Thankfully, there's nothing lost if he retreats rather than being defeated.
* [[Magikarp Power]]: Nino is infamous for this: she comes at a low level very late in the game, but train her up and she'll be able to blow away anything that comes her way. Also a case of [[Lamarck Was Right]]: one character mentions that Nino's family is filled with extremely skilled magic users, including Nino's own sons Lugh and Ray.
Line 159:
* [[Near Villain Victory]]: It won't be apparent on your first playthrough, but Lyn's group stumbles by sheer chance upon Nils about halfway through her story, rescuing Ninian from the Black Fang in the process, holding up Nergal's plans for a year.
** Another one that won't be apparent on your first playthrough: the brigands that Ephidel sent to "scare" Eliwood away from Santaruz outnumbered Eliwood and his company; if it weren't for [[Spanner in The Works|Hector's]] timely arrival, Eliwood might never have reached Santaruz or learned anything about the rebellion plot until it was too late. And if he and Hector hadn't quelled the rebellion, they never would have been in a position to interfere in Nergal's dragon-summoning ritual. As Nergal said, Hector's presence was his "greatest miscalculation."
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: In ''Blazing Sword'', if you get the best Tactician rating, the game says (and I quote) that you "changed the course of history" and that "Bern and Etruria (the countries fighting in ''Sword of Seals'') so desired this skilled mind that they went to war." Granted, they still go to war if you do poorly, but...
** Etruria and Bern go to war if you do poorly, but for completely different reasons that have nothing to do with the Tactician. In light of Desmond's tyranny and paranoia and the Tactician's many attacks on Bern troops throughout the game (which had to be done very efficiently for an A or S Rank), and the fact that the Tactician revealed the location of the Shrine of Seals (thitherto a closely guarded national secret of Bern) to the Mage General of Etruria, it's likely that the war mentioned in the "best" ending was started by ''Desmond'' rather than Zephiel.
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Hector Hard Mode.
* [[Non Entity General]]: ''Blazing Sword'' is the series's only aversion.
* [[Non
* [[Nostalgia Level]]: Several chapters in ''Blazing Blade'' take place at the same location as a chapter in ''Sword of Seals.'' To wit:
** [http://serenesforest.net/fe7/map/14.PNG Chapter 14 of Fire Emblem 7]: [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v220/NomadicTrooperGirl/VASM/Chapter4.png Chapter 4 of Fire Emblem 6] (Laus)
Line 179:
* [[Poor Communication Kills]]: Queen Hellene seems rather unconcerned that an attempt was made on her son's life, and is clearly confused when Eliwood accuses her of putting Zephiel's life at risk for her ambition. In reality, this is because she ''didn't know'' an assassination attempt was made on Zephiel the night before. This very nearly leads to the party losing her support to reach the Shrine of Seals, but Murdock fortunately explains the situation to her.
** And even so, neither Murdock nor Eliwood told her that the attempt on Zephiel's life had been ordered by King Desmond; she might not have made her ill-fated decision to make it up to him if she had known about his involvement in the attack.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Sain as Red, Kent as Blue.
* [[Royal Rapier]]: an effective [[Anti Cavalry]] and [[Armor
* [[Sacrificial Lion]]: {{spoiler|Leila.}}
* [[Schmuck Bait]]: Dart lays it out in no uncertain terms that attacking Fargus would be a bad move, and just in case you do, you get hit with a double whammy; not only is Fargus practically a [[Hopeless Boss Fight]] (he can be beaten with some tweaking and Arena grinding, though), but if you try to fight him, you get a [[Nonstandard Game Over]] no matter what happens next.
Line 187:
* [[Slasher Smile]]: {{spoiler|Zephiel in the epilogue...}} '''eek.'''
* [[Slap Slap Kiss]]: Several pairings, most prominently Hector/Lyn, but also Rebecca/Sain, Rebecca/Wil, Serra/Erk, and Farina/Dart.
* [[So Last Season]]: In Chapter 2, Sain refers to the Mani Katti as a "[[Infinity
* [[Spanner in The Works]]: Kishuna in the first chapter he appears in ''Blazing Sword''. The boss (who, incidentally, comes off as a [[The Chessmaster|chessmaster]]-type character, what with remarks like "battle is an equation") of that chapter has long-range magic that will do some nasty damage to your non-magic party members... had the aforementioned Magic Seal not made his conveniently-timed unexpected appearance.
** Hector himself is acknowledged by Nergal as an unexpected variable that ruined everything by helping Eliwood.
Line 198:
* [[Weather of War]]
* [[Wham Line]]: {{spoiler|"The ice dragon there... The beast slaughtered by your hand... That is Ninian. The girl you loved."}}
* [[You Bastard]] / [[Take That, Audience!]]: If you play with a Tactician in ''Blazing Sword'' and get an E or D ranking overall, several characters on the Battle History screen will say something along the lines of either "What were you thinking?", "You need more practice", or just flat out say "You suck" (though [[Jerkass|some units]], namely Karel and Jaffar, will say things like this even if you [[Dude, Where's My Respect?|played decently]] and [[Do Well,
* [[You Have Failed Me]]: The Black Fang has such a policy. Jaffar goes so far as to ''berate the girl who saved his life'' for failing to adhere to this policy and nursing him back to health. (And yet he pretty much decides to pull a [[Last Stand]] for her a few stages later.)
** This was actually [[Defector From Decadence|the reason why]] {{spoiler|Legault}} left the Fang, since he had to {{spoiler|kill an [[Action Girl]] from the group because she was crippled.}}
