History Trivia / TearRingSaga

* Due to the legal mess the game caused, there's still some bad blood between Shouzou Kaga and Nintendo, to the point that Kaga got pretty much [[UnPerson unpersoned]] by the Big N. Case in point: Kaga wasn't even mentioned in the The Making of Fire Emblem 25th Anniversary book, despite being the mastermind behind the entire franchise. This is the equivalent of writing a book that details the entire history of ''Franchise/StarWars'' in such a way that omits mentioning anything about Creator/GeorgeLucas, or a book about the history of the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' franchisee without mentioning Creator/ShigeruMiyamoto.

* NamesTheSame: Some of the characters share the same name with some ''Fire Emblem'' characters. Some are intentional {{exp|y}}ies, like Barts, while others are unrelated, like Roger.

* Nintendo losing the copyright infringement lawsuit set a precedent that stated it was OK for creators to release derivative products based on franchises they once helmed without having to worry about possible legal actions by the current owners of said franchises. See Creator/{{Bungie}} leaving Microsoft and ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' behind in order to release the similar ''VideoGame/{{Destiny}}'', Creator/KeijiInafune leaving Capcom and ''Franchise/MegaMan'' in order to create the similar ''VideoGame/MightyNo9'' and Koji Igarashi creating a ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' SpiritualSequel with ''VideoGame/BloodstainedRitualOfTheNight'' after leaving Konami.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Initially the game was called ''Emblem Saga''; the name was changed to ''Tear Ring Saga'' because of "various circumstances", but fans speculated that it was to avoid the obvious lawsuit from Nintendo. Despite the name change, Nintendo filed various lawsuits against Tirnanog and the publisher, Enterbrain. Enterbrain was found guilty and fined for breaking the Unfair Competition Law, but not for copyright infringement.\\
When the game was still being called ''Emblem Saga'', it took place in the same world as the Archanea and Jugdral ''Fire Emblem'' games, and was said to be happening around the same time as ''VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight''.
