Line 37:
* [[Cult]]: The ''entire nation'' of Perezia is a theocracy dedicated to the worship of the ''[[Obviously Evil|Evil Dragon]]'' Grima.
** [[Religion of Evil]]
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: The ''Developers themselves'', when designing the "Entombed Heaven" [[Downloadable Content|DLC]] chapter. Its very existance shows they know full well that players love to exploit Entombed for easy EXP, but made sure if you just blindly rush in and started beating them up, you'll be met with a nasty surprise... {{spoiler|Level 30 Entombed with Counter. Given that Entombed have massive HP, but abysmal Defence, that's an awful lot of damage coming right back at you}}...}}
* [[Double Standard]]: The translation changes Nowi/Nono's character so she's only ''pretending'' to be childish instead of actually being so, but nobody says a thing about RichtRicken and DonnyDonnel.
* [[Downloadable Content]]: Marth (the real one) and a remake of the first stage of the original game was Nintendo's first DLC. [[Fire Emblem Elibe|Roy]], [[Fire Emblem Jugdral|Leaf]], [[Fire Emblem Akaneia|Alm]], [[Fire Emblem Tellius|Micaiah, Elincia]], [[Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones|Ephraim, Eirika]], and [[Fire Emblem Jugdral|Celice]] followed among maps in an alternate timeline and generic fanservice episodes.
* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]: LiberaLibra on VioleVirion.
* [[Evil Sorcerer]]: FauderValidar, the leader of the Gimle Cultcult.
* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: DLC Eirika's Class, "Bride"... guess what that looks like?
* [[Giant Flyer]]: The dark dragon GimleGrima. {{spoiler|It's so huge that the final chapter takes place ''on its back''.}}.
* [[Hot Dad]] / [[Hot Mom]]: Parents apparently don't age a day . {{spoiler|Time traveling kids being the reason, of course}} meaning potentially all couples will continue to be gorgeous even after having children.
* [[Hotter and Sexier]]: Compare Divine Dragon child Tiki's appearance in [http://serenesforest.net/fe13/img/0404/tiki.jpg ''Awakening'']{{Dead link}} with her appearance in [https://web.archive.org/web/20100702224245/http://www.serenesforest.net/media/fe11illust/l/L_Chiki.jpg ''Shadow Dragon''] and see that the proof is in the pudding.
** Most of the DLC versions of the female lords.
* {{spoiler|[[I Have Your Wife|I Have Your Older Sister]]: Eventually, Gangrel captures EmelinaEmmeryn and forces Chrom to give him the Shield of Seals for her safety. But, [[Heroic Sacrifice|she kills herself via falling off a cliff]] to prevent this}}.
* [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]]: Whereas the entire franchise so far has generally maintained a (relatively) realistic and practical bent in its character design, this game so far leans much more in the direction of this trope. The best examples by far are the knight characters.
* [[Intercontinuity Crossover]]: 120 Characters from all past ''Fire EmblemsEmblem''s return here, through a dimensional portal that exists in the land. The player can face them, hire them to join his army or buy items from them. And this is mostly unrelated to the game's main story. However, aside from their portraits, they just use generic classes and models colored like their original designs. Only a few characters, who are paid DLC content, actually get their own models and personal classes. The story of the paid DLC does involve many past characters though, including the ones that use generic models.
* [[Kissing Cousins]]: Being cousins does ''not'' prevent children from reaching an S Support with eachother. The English version avoids mention of them being married but otherwise changes nothing.
* [[Lady of War]]: {{spoiler|Lucina}}.
* [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships]]: My Unit in-universe. This would be one of the most controversial parts of the gamgame, especially as the next game doubled down on it.
* [[Magic Knight]]: For the first time in the series in a game officially released in English certain classes are capable of truly<ref>Tellius allowed Sages to pick knifes over staffs, but this was so weak, they couldn't damage anything except enemy mages. There was also a pair of units who could use both swords and staffs.</ref> using both weapons and magic. The avatar's main class the "Strategist" can wield bothmagicboth magic and swords.
** [[White Mage|NUNS]][[Memetic Mutation|WITH]][[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|AXES]].
** DLC Class "Demon Fighter", as a result of being ported from ''Gaiden'' and its weird magic system can wield swords, axes and tomes. The followup DLC class, the "Bride" class, can wield bows, staffs, and lances just so it has a counterpart.
* [[Mark of the Beast|Mark of Naga]]: As proof of their [[Heroic Lineage]], EmelinaEmmeryn has this on her forehead, Chrom on his shoulder {{spoiler|and Lucina in her eye}}. We have no clue where LizLissa's is.
* [[Super Move Portrait Attack|Mastery Skill Portrait Attack]]: The cut-in also occurs on critical hits.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: SergeCherche's wyvern is named [[Fire Emblem Akaneia|Minerva]].
* [[Nerf]]: The forging system had one, compared to how utterly broken it was in the preveous two games. You can now only give a limited number of 'buffs' to a single weapon, meaning you can no longer forge both Might and Critical up to max. You'll need to choose between a weapon that hits ''really'' hard all the time, or one that's slightly weaker but criticals more often. Hard mode enemies don't follow this rule.
** The [[Fire Emblem Jugdral|Holy Weapons, such as Tyrfing, Holsety, and Narga]], used to have 30 MT and ludicrous bonuses. Now they've got Between 14 and 20 MT, and those bonuses are down from 30/40/80 Stat points to 5/10. [[Nerf]]ed indeed.
* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]: [[Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones|Eirika's]] new [https://web.archive.org/web/20121028031326/http://serenesforest.net/fe13/img/dlc0607_img.jpg DLC costume.]. Complete with [[Giant Poofy Sleeves]], [[Frills of Justice]], and what appears to be [[Impossibly Cool Clothes|sheer]] [[Fluffy Fashion Feathers]]. May double as a [[Battle Ballgown]].
* [[Player Character]]: My Unit, you get to select your gender, [[Hello, Insert Name Here|name him or her]], select a character portrait and model, and select his or her voice. In the Japanese version, you could select one of four personalities as well.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: The Corpse Soldiers, in both their portraits and battle animations.
* [[Relationship Values]]: The relationship system and children from ''[[Fire Emblem Jugdral]]'' [http://andriasang.com/con0hp/fire_emblem_love/ returns]. Most controversially is the avatar [[Dating Sim|getting in on the action]], which many fans would claim got too much of a focus and was aimed at the wrong kind of player.
* [[The Reveal]]: {{spoiler|"Marth" is actually Lucina, Chrom's daughter from the future.}}.
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: NonoNowi's daughter is named ンン, roughly pronounched un-un or nn-nn. How are you supposed to spell that? The translation goes with "Nah".
* [[Spoiler Opening]]
* [[Stock Subtitle]]: "''Awakening"''.
* [[Sturgeon's Law]]: Mild example. The Avatar has the most Support conversation options out of any character. Especially if not romancing the character in question, many of them are a bit more bland and less personal than between other characters due to the Avatar's fairly down-to-earth personality and lack of personal connection to many of the characters. That said, they're still worth reading for sure.
* [[This Loser Is You]]: Completely inverted. Not only does MUMy Unit have a special class and is the first true [[Magic Knight]] since Judgral, but he/she can also get paired with [[The Hero|Chrom]] and Sumia, and even have kids. Way to go, stud!
* [[Time Skip]]: ''Awakening'' is a direct sequel to the [[Fire Emblem Akaneia|Archanea series]], though technology is unchanged.
* {{spoiler|[[Timey-Wimey Ball]]: Your characters' children come from the future in order to prevent the end of the world. Expect a a lot of this.}}.
* [[Variable Mix]]: The battle music on most maps is a variation of the map's theme, shifting into the arrangement as the scene changes.
* [[Yandere]]: {{spoiler|SariyaTharja, as one could tell from her various support conversations, especially the ones she has with [[Audience Surrogate|My Unit]]... hopefully you don't have a nice boat}}...}}
* [[You Don't Look Like You]]: Due to each DLC having wildly different artists with no style consistently, few characters are recognizable.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Thus far, the biggest examples are ''males'', in the form of Chrom and Marth,<ref>It still counts, as DLC Marth wears the same outfit as "Marth".</ref> who score a grade-A!
* [[Zombie Apocalypse]]: Like ''[[Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones|The Sacred Stones]]'', one's getting underway with the mass appearance of "Corpse Soldiers"... {{spoiler|There's a [[Bad Future]] where it got to full-fledged Apocalypse levels.}}.
