The SNES Fire Emblem's feature, by far, the most mature and dark content of the series. Genealogy/Thracia 776 feature child hunting and village slaughters, as well as some incest thrown into the mix. One of the more disturbing pieces of story I found from these games was in Thracia 776:
Spoiler
During chapter 5: "Mother and Child", while under Raydrik's captivity, Eyvel is taken into an arena with the promise of seeing Nanna and her adopted daughter, Mareeta. Eyvel had been tricked and instead is met only by Nanna, as well as numerous enemy warriors. Raydrick had given Mareeta the Shadow Sword, which laid a curse upon Mareeta, causing her to become uncontrollably hostile towards Eyvel and Nanna.
Fast forward to the end of chapter 6: The Escape. At the end of chapter 6, after Leif's escape, a scene shows Raydrik and one of his soldiers discussing guards having been ambushed and that Mareeta was taken. The soldier remarks that Galzus, Mareeta's father, was nearby when she was taken. The soldier's claimed to see the markings of Odo on his back, to which Raydrick responds: "I can see why he let that girl escape... I saw the same markings on her back as well... Hahaha..."
To infer what he means by this would mean that he saw her bare back, the first thought that came into mind was that he had raped her and seen the markings on her back during, or the less disturbing of the two being that he tortured her. I found this piece of dialogue to be the the most disturbing thing I've seen out of the Fire Emblem games, even after all the talked about child huntings, massacres and noted incest, the way Raydrick's laugh types in slowly with each "Ha" "ha" "ha..." sent chills up my spine. It should also be noted that Mareeta is fifteen in Thracia 776.
While I see that the guards noticed the markings of Odo on Galzus's back, meaning they would have had to have seen his bare back, I think it's safe to assume that he would have been fine with removing his shirt in front of some guards, whereas Mareeta, a girl, would have been less comfortable doing so, especially as a captive, and not a warrior working for Raydrick.
Let me know what you think, and I'd love to hear from others what they found within the Fire Emblem games to be disturbing or surprisingly dark.
