Possible Tear Ring Saga dragons reference

[Midnox]

Hi, as some of you may know, Tear Ring Saga has many similarities with Fire Emblem due to sharing the same creator, but that's another topic. Thing is, in the TRS's lore, there are four holy dragons, one of each element: fire, wind, water, and earth. And FeH just introduced a system to buff characters with  blessings of the same element. So far, we have only seen Ice in Fjorm's kingdom, and Surtr's, but Surtr's description mentions he descends from the flame dragon, so the same must apply with Fjorm as well (with a water dragon of course). It's pretty similar with TRS's lore of holy dragons of said elements in it's backstory

Fire, wind, water, and earth are just the four common elements used in practically everything, and dragons are pretty common lore in the Fire Emblem series. I wouldn't look too deep into it.

Possible, but yes, unlikely. The Classical elements are popular in fiction, so while it could be a reference, it is more likely just another application of the four elements.

There was also a similar concept with Fates' Dragon's Vein - there were four "dragon" images that would appear when using the vein that changed depending on its purpose and element.

Most likely a coincidence, since it's a played out trope.

Anyways, another thing to put under the "Kaga did it first" list.
