History VideoGame / ImmortalSword

''Fire Emblem Immortal Sword'', is a [[FanSequel Fan Prequel]] of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade'', taking place roughly 15-20 years prior. Unlike its contemporaries like ''VideoGame/ElibianNights'' and ''VideoGame/{{Midnight Sun|FireEmblem}}'', it is not a ROM hack, despite using a lot of textures and styles from the GBA games - rather, it is a standalone executable built using the FEXNA framework. This approach has allowed it to implement features new features and features only seen in non-GBA games, such as a chapter select option, base camp and Skills.

* HealerSignsOnEarly: Played straight with both Uther's (Madelyn joins in their second chapter) and Eliza's (where the player can get a healer in their ''first'' chapter) teams, but brutally [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] with Tristan's - while you do get a staff user, you ''never'' get healing staves aside from a single [[RegeneratingHealth Renewal staff]] (though you do get a variety of utility staves at least).

* NoIndoorVoice: Wallace, who is so loud that he [[UpToEleven apparently deafened]] poor Chester when they traveled north to collect Madelyn.

* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: There is a new status effect built around this: Drunk, which halves Skill and Speed. It cannot (yet) be inflicted, but since Act 1-1 is basically a large-scale bar brawl against some rowdy Bernite soldiers, every enemy is Drunk.

* AscendedExtra: Characters with only minor roles in the official games are greatly expanded upon here. Perhaps the biggest examples are the resident [[CrutchCharacter Jeigans]]. Eagler, TrappedInVillainy in Lyn's tale and fondly remembered by Sain and Kent, is one of Uther's main allies here. The role in Eliza's role is taken by Brendan Reed, who would go on to found the Black Fang and be TheUnfought in ''Blazing Blade''.

* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Although it doesn't come up in the main plot, [[CampGay Leonard]] and [[StraightGay Augustus]] are a secret couple. Augustus laments in their Supports about how he needs to keep his true nature a secret if he wants any sort of military career.

* FragileSpeedster: Thieves are still squarely a UtilityPartyMember - high Speed and Skill, poor Strength and bulk. This game lets them attack at 1-2 range with throwing knives though, which makes their squishiness a bit less damning.

* HealerSignsOnEarly: Played straight with both Uther's (Madelyn joins in theyr second chapter) and Eliza's (Where the player can get a healer in their ''first'' chapter) teams, but brutally [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] with Tristan's - while you do get a staff user, you ''never'' get healing staves aside from a single [[RegeneratingHealth Renewal staff]] (though you do get a variety of utility staves at least).
* HoldTheLine: A traditional example occurs in Act 3-1, where Uther's group needs to hold back the rogue Etrurians on the Lycian border. True to form, the player can either hold out for the turn limit or take out their commander to finish the chapter quickly.

-->'''Wallace:''' Do you hear that thunder booming? Is it a storm? Is it a quake? Nay, I fear it is something far more dreadful coming down, something that even the gods shake in fear of. It is I! Sir Wallace the Iron Bull! The greatest knight in all these lands, and so too those heathen lands across the seas! See his stature! Like a mountain made flesh! See his burning glare! Like the searing light of a judgemental god! Hear his mighty bellow, and cower! SIR WALLACE! THE UNDEFEATED! THE FIST THAT BREAKS THE WORLD!!!!
* {{Nerf}}: [[JackOfAllStats Cavaliers]] are now split into the sword-locked Gendarme and the lance-locked Vanguard. They both still promote to Paladin, which can use both.

* StoneWall: For physical/armoured classes, the Lieutenant (formerly Knights), Phalanx and Zweihander classes tend towards this. There are also 3 magic-using classes designed around bulk: Diviner, Sorcerer (Shaman in the official games) and Shaman.

* HealerSignsOnEarly: Played straight with both Uther's (Madelyn joins in theyr second chapter) and Eliza (Where the player can get a healer in their ''first'' chapter), but brutally [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] with Tristan's - while you do get a staff user, you ''never'' get healing staves aside from a single [[RegeneratingHealth Renewal staff]].

** Ambush spawns are gone too, unlike the other Elibe games. Enemies will only start to move the turn after they appear.

** This gets turned on the player in Act 3-2, where a group of assassins ambushes a village at night, seeking Uther. Unfortunately Uther and his new friend [[Pirate Fargus]] have been drinking all night...

* WarriorPoet: Chester. He indulges shamelessly in PurpleProse and certainly appreciates beauty. He makes a decent replacement Gendarme if Isadora turned out badly.
** Deacon as well, [[SpoonyBard sort of]]. He earned a knighthood through his art and, though he doesn't fight directly, he serves as the resident Bard/Dancer.

* ForegoneConclusion: A lot of characters will meet unfortunate fates in the later games. Eagler, Brendan, Uther, Elbert and more will die, Harken will become an extreme BrokenAce DeathSeeker...

** Magnus is probably the crowning mage for this. His HP, Defence and Resistance will almost inevitability surpass his Magic and Speed - raised well, he can defend effectively against almost anything.

* CountryMatters: Although the dialogue stays true to the original for the most part, the more... [[SirSwearsALot lower-class]] characters can have quite the vocabulary.
[[BrattyHalfPint Cybil]] and [[TheHedonist Melanie]] are the biggest examples. The lead writer Myke is Australian - WordOfGod admits to it being TruthInTelevision.

** Abelia is the daughter to a noble house, but was forcibly sent to a convent upon discovering she was infertile. According to her childhood friend Chester, the experience... [[BrokenBird changed]] [[SanitySlippage her]]. In fact, [[TraumaInducedAmnesia she forgot that they were ever friends]].

* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: There is a new status effect built around this: Drunk, which halves Skl and Spd. It cannot (yet) be inflicted, but since Act 1-1 is basically a large-scale bar brawl against some rowdy Bernite soldiers, every enemy is Drunk.

The lead writer Myke is Australian - WordOfGod admits to it being TruthInTelevision.

* BadassAdorable: Harken and especially Isadora - in-story too, based on several characters' reactions to her. For their badass credentials, despite being barely teenagers, their growths are impressive for Trainees. Harken can easily cap Strength and his HP will be godly, whereas Isadora will generally have incredible Speed and Skill.
* CountryMatters: Although the dialogue stays true to the original for the most part, the more... [[SirSwearsALot lower-class]] characters can have quite the vocabulary. The lead writer Myke is Australian, so there's some TruthInTelevision there. [[BrattyHalfPint Cybil]] and [[TheHedonist Melanie]] are the biggest examples.

** Inverted with Sages. Initially they can only use Anima magic and not staves - until they reach level 5, at which point they gain the Academic skill, which lets them use ALL magic... [[DownplayedTrope at E rank]].

* Nerf:

* DuellingPlayerCharacters: Similar to ''RadiantDawn'', Tristan's and Eliza's groups will clash at least once. Since the player controls Eliza's group and they are essentially hunting political refugees, coupled with the fact that even her allies (except [[ComedicSociopath Melanie]]) are deeply unsettled by this, the events behind this will trigger Eliza's HeelRealization.

* AscendedExtra: Characters with only minor roles in the official games are greatly expanded upon here. Perhaps the biggest examples are the resident [[CrutchCharacter Jeigans]]. Eagler, ForcedIntoVillainy in Lyn's tale and fondly remembered by Sain and Kent, is one of Uther's main allies here. The role in Eliza's role is taken by Brendan Reed, who would go on to found the Black Fang and be TheUnfought in ''Blazing Blade''.
