** In Paralogue 17, Chrom and his gang enter a holy glade wherein they find Tiki, the daughter of the Divine Dragon Naga, resting. The rest of the army remarks that the area is very calming and peaceful. The Avatar remarks that they felt nothing out of the ordinary. [[spoiler:This probably has something to do with the whole the Avatar is the vessel of the Fell Dragon Grima thing.]]

* TheHerosBirthday: Each character has a unique birthday. If you visit the barracks on their birthday, they'll get experience, a random item, and a random skill surge. However, if it's the Avatar's birthday, all the characters will wish him or her a happy birthday.

* GameplayProtagonistStoryProtagonist: ZigZagged. In the first part of the game, we see Chrom go through all the struggles of going from protector to ruler, while Robin is the one giving the orders to the army. However, the later parts of the story have more focus on Robin as he struggles [[spoiler: with being the vessel for the Fell Dragon Grima]]. Played most straight in the DLC story, ''Future Past'', where the story focuses on an alternate version of Lucina, but the characters from the save file and main universe have more prominence in game play.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition. And for crying out loud, it says ON THE BOX that there's sex and violence in it, so don't go adding any examples of those.

* {{Filler}}: The chunk of the game with Walhart as the antagonist has absolutely no impact on the overall story, outside of supplying Chrom with a few MacGuffin gems he could've acquired otherwise. Combined with the fact that he's a generic evil emperor with generic motives, it makes his section probably the weakest part of the game, story-wise. It's still fun to play, though.
** However, Aversa does mention later on that Walhart had intended to stop the Grimleal from resurrecting Grima, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero and that had he not been stopped by the main characters they would've not been able to resurrect Grima]]. Furthermore it establishes the Avatar's ability to make plans that work [[RefugeInAudacity largely because they're too insane to be seen in advance]] and provides a necessary component for the one that defeats Validar, namely [[spoiler:Basilio's faked death.]]

* LuckBasedMission: Success in the Paralogue where you can recruit Anna is solely dependent on how well she can dodge incoming attacks. If the RNG really hates you, it's possible she can die as early as the second or third turn.
** What makes it particularly annoying is that she always attacks if an axe-wielding bandit is nearby. She does this to protect the town, but she could just stand in front of the town's only entrance and drink her healing items there. Axes have a very poor hit rate against her sword.

* LongSongShortScene: The boss battle themes can be up to six minutes long and are absolutely epic. Sadly, battles play out fairly quickly in this game, so you'll only hear about twenty seconds of them.

* JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant: This gem from a possible conversation during Hot-Spring Scramble:
-->'''Avatar:''' Going from the sign, I'd say it's a mixed bath.\\
'''Lucina:''' Oh? [[LiteralMinded What do they mix it with?]]\\
'''Avatar:''' Er, no... It's not the water that's mixed, it's the clientele.
