* If Samuel was a gladiator in his past, and currently a mercenary, then why doesn't he have traits that would suggest it (visible scars, noticeable muscle mass, etc)? (Yes, I know this is probably just the designers not putting much thought into him, due to not being plot important, but it looks somewhat silly when compared to Ogma.)
** A bit of GameplayAndStoryIntegration here, maybe? Samuel's speed is one of his two solid stats, and he's a Myrmidon. So perhaps he was agile enough to dodge a lot? If this is actually the case, he'd probably need to remain slim and light to maintain it. Or, alternatively the scars are all just under his clothes.
* Gharnef's original reason for becoming evil was jealousy for not inheriting Aura. Now, take a look inside one of the chests in Chapter 20x. An Aura Tome, in the hideout of the assassin group he controls. How did he not notice?
** It's mentioned a couple of times (the opening to Chapter 9, and the support talk between Merric and Linde) that certain high-level tomes have restrictions placed on them that only allow certain people to wield such advanced magic. Since Aura can only be used by women (barring Miloah, who passed it on to his daughter Linde before his death), it's possible that Gharnef couldn't use that spare tome even if he did get his hands on it. By that point, it's likely that Gharnef simply doesn't care anymore since he has Imhullu, a tome that renders him invulnerable to everything except Starlight.

* The Avatar from ''Awakening'', which takes place ages after ''New Mystery'', is revealed to look very similar to ''New Mystery'''s avatar in a DLC encounter with Marth. [[spoiler:Said "new" avatar is destined to serve as Grima's host. What on ''earth'' happened to the first avatar to get that kind of a fate pegged on to his/her possible descendant/reincarnation?]]

** Lang and Cancer: Lang's tactics in his boss fight involves flanking the Altean army in a pincer attack. Alternatively, he is the blight that tarnished the name of Archanea with his heinous acts, fitting another common usage of the word.

* As mentioned in some other Fire Emblem pages' Fridge Brilliance, Jagen's status as a CrutchCharacter are explained by the fact that he's past his prime, while the others are ''in'' their prime. So why does Arran fit under this? Well, he mentions it as the fact that he's sick and [[spoiler:dies of his illness not long after the war ends]]. Of course he won't be at his prime; it's actually a neat form of GameplayAndStoryIntegration.

* The original version of ''[=FE3=]'' has some hints that the Wyvern Mounts are descended from Insane Manaketes! Brr!

* The group ''finally'' gets Nyna after she has spent an entire game (plus this one) as a non-combatant. Sure enough her bases and growths are shit, and she (like the other clerics) should be ''instantly'' moved away from combat. Actually this makes sense - Nyna wasn't ''raised'' to fight, she was raised to rule.
** The other three (Maria, Lena, Elice) as well are also pretty weak in this game despite having all sorts of badass potential in the first game. They spent the entire events of this game BrainwashedAndCrazy - so naturally they won't be ready to fight, they're out of shape.
** This actually can be applied to Matthis as well. He's ultimately just a random civilian who is forced to fight - why should anyone expect him to be good at it?
