History Trivia / FireEmblem

** While Mario is visiting Petalburg in ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'', he meets a Toad who's an avid gamer. This Toad will tell Mario he's been playing ''Fire Emblem''. This reference is absent from Japanese version of the game, where the same Toad is instead playing ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1''

** The ''Mystery of the Emblem'' [=OVA=]s never saw a rerelease since both the UsefulNotes/LaserDisc and VHS releases first hit Japanese store shelves, and the same applies with its English dub, which only had a VHS release and nothing else. Thankfully, both the original and English dub in their entirety survives online.

** ''Gaiden'' and its remake, ''Thracia 776'', and ''The Sacred Stones'', as well as all ''Fire Emblem'' games released between ''Path of Radiance'' and ''Fates'', have all fallen into this status since March 27th, 2023, as none of them were confirmed to receive any kind of port for the Nintendo Switch.

** Similiar to ''Super Mario 3D All-Stars'', the English version of ''Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light'' was only made available until March 31st, 2021. After that date, the game was delisted and was made no longer available to purchase.

** ''Fire Emblem'' would've gotten another expo-styled event in 2020 after the success of its first one in the previous year, but unfortunately due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was cancelled.

Finally averted for ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light]]'', which received an English localization in 2020 for the Nintendo Switch ('''[[LateExportForYou 30 years after the original release]]'''). Unfortunately, it was only a limited release and has since delisted from the eShop.

** With the impending closure of the 3DS and Wii U eshops, it's quite likely this will become the case for ''Gaiden'' and its remake, ''Thracia 776'', and ''The Sacred Stones'', as well as all ''Fire Emblem'' games released between ''Path of Radiance'' and ''Fates'', as none of them were confirmed to receive any kind of port for the Nintendo Switch.

** All of the Western games pre-''Awakening'' are now out of print. As a result, they tend to be sold for exorbitant prices, locking out players who started with the new generation of games unless they use emulators or have a friend willing to loan them a copy. This is ''somewhat'' alleviated by the availability of Fire Emblems ''Blazing Blade'', ''The Sacred Stones'', and ''Shadow Dragon'' on the Wii U Virtual Console, but the wallets of those without Wii Us or who would rather play the games on their original systems are in for a rough time.

* ReclusiveArtist: Not much is known about Shouzou Kaga outside of his work on the series. He directed and designed every game through ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemThracia776 Thracia 776]]'', then abruptly splintered off from Intelligent Systems to start up his own studio and create both ''VideoGame/TearRingSaga'' (whose close similarities to ''Fire Emblem'' would prompt a lawsuit from Nintendo) and ''VideoGame/BerwickSaga'' and later create ''Vestaria Saga'' a few years after that.

* NewbieBoom: The first international newbie boom started with ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee'', due the surprising popularity of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAkaneia Marth]] and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe Roy]] in the game. Now, the hype and general acclaim of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' has generated a NewbieBoom of its own seeing as how it saved the series from dying and became the best-selling game in the series. ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' has caused this [[RuleOfThree yet again]], as a free-to-play mobile game with a large cast that spans the entire series. And then ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' did this once again, this time due to being the first mainline installment in twelve years to be released on a home console, rather than a dedicated handheld.

* FanNickname:
** The official term used when a unit becomes a different class, on both sides of the Pacific, is ''Class Change.'' Since units get a boost in stats, weapon proficiency, and/or a level reset, (Western) fans nearly always say they ''promote'', to better express the change being an upgrade rather than the more neutral or sideways shift implied by "Class Change".
** Some games are referred with (something prominent in the game) Emblem. For instance, ''Genealogy of Holy War'' is referred as "Mounted Emblem" or "Horse Emblem", due to the ''enormous'' size of the game's maps making having a mount (horse/pegasus/wyvern) a good boon. ''Awakening'' and ''Fates'' are referred as "Waifu Emblem" due to their use of the Avatar and Marriage system.
** "Ambush Spawns", for when reinforcements appear where you started the map and then start flanking you.
