Funny, Stupid, Unknown and Interesting facts about Fire Emblem

[Joerachi]

Oh boy. This will be interesting.

In FEDS, Nyna's overworld sprite was a Female sage, but in FE3DS Her class is Bishop.

Marth and Roy were supposed to be only in the Japanese version of SSBM but the American localization team liked them too much so they were kept in for the other versions too.

- IIRC, the only Myrmidons/Swordmasters that are found in FESD are either recruitable, in the arena or in gaiden chapters.

- In the time between SD and NM, technology advances such that Levin Swords get stronger, but Javelins get weaker.

Raddy?

Raddy?

Recruited for you already.

Navarre is recruitable, and Athena resides in a gaiden chapter.

The Nintendo 64 was the only console not to see a Fire Emblem game.

The Nintendo 64 was the only console not to see a Fire Emblem game.

You're right about that, but also the Game Boy and the Game Boy Color (though not consoles) didn't see a Fire Emblem either.

And one fire emblem was planned for the canceled 64DD

Neither did the Virtual Boy. (Not that it matters.)

Hence, why I didn't mention them.

[Charpig]

Although Fire Emblem had its first five games on consoles, the first Fire Emblem officially released in North America was for a handheld system.

Since this is a well known fact, I'll give another one here:

Roy sounds really angry in Super Smash Bros. Melee but in his actual Fire Emblem he is very kind like his father, Eliwood.

[Anouleth]

This really should go in a FE9 one, but...

If someone dies on the last round of Enemy Phase in Chapter 8, the sad character death music will continue to play as the last reinforcements reappear and Ike calls everyone back.

[Ike-Mike]

There is a minority in the Japanese fanbase that sees FE Gaiden really just as a Gaiden game and thus the FE's from Mystery onwards are numbered from 2 onwards.

While Sacred Stones and Path of Radiance are nowadays known as FE8 and FE9 respectively there was once a time where the numbers were switched around because PoR was announced earlier.

Half of FE1's tileset are the unit map sprites.

Just noticed after looking at item location tables - I'm sure not many others have:

The Brave/Hero weapons, since their introduction in FE4, have always been separated into a trio having similiraties in obtainment/stats and 1 standing out, which is usually the Brave/Hero Sword.

FE1-3 - Did not exist, but it could be seen as 3 games without, rest of the series with.

FE4 - 3 of them are obtainable by characters talking with each other (1st gen.), except for the Hero Axe, Lex gets on a chapter 1 special event. The Hero Sword also has 2 ways of obtainment in the 2nd generation.

FE5 - Three are carried by/given to specific playable characters, except the Hero Sword found in a 4x chest.

FE6 - Three are obtainable (the Brave Axe carried by Hector in trial maps), but the Brave Sword is not.

FE7 - 3 of them are found in chests, except the Brave Sword carried by Harken.

FE8 - 3 of them are found on chapter 19, dropped by enemies, except for the Brave Axe held by chapter 17 hero.

FE9 - They are held by playable characters (Shinon, Geoffrey and Haar), except for the Brave Sword found on a chapter 21 chest.

FE10 - Three are obtainable through base conversations, except the Brave Bow which is a Hidden treasuse in 3-6.

FE11 - Three have 80 Hit, except for the Brave Lance which has 75.

FE12 - The Quick weapons, the cheap Brave alternatives, have 12 uses each (cost 960G), except for the Quick Axe which has 10 uses (costs 800G).

Lycia in FE6/7 has a very French origin to it. The main thing there is Roland and Durandal. The French meaning of Roy is King. Despite this, Roy doesn't become the ruler of Lycia/Pherae at the end of FE6 as Eliwood is still alive.
