* PowerupLetdown: Some History Mode maps deploy Rowan and Lianna as enemies. They come packing their Enliron and Facinna, allowing them to do extreme damage to any allied monster units. Too bad there are no monster units.

* MovesetClone: Due to [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters the sheer roster size]] and how classes work in Fire Emblem games, few characters have fully unique movesets, though some moveset clones do get custom strong attack effects and all get unique Specials. Characters who are moveset clones of each other include:

** Robin and Tharja, as well as the nonplayable Gharnef, Validar, and Iago
** Ryoma and Owain
** Caeda, Cordelia, and Hinoka
** Camilla and Minerva
** Takumi, Sakura, Niles, and Anna

* MeleeATrois: Chapter 12 involves a three-way fight between your party, the Hoshdian army, and the Nohrian army. Unlike most battles, the objective here is not to defeat Ryoma and Xander, but to cripple both armies at an equal and consistent pace by taking forts one at a time.

*** When Marth appears in the Premonition History Mode, he and Female Robin directly reference his [[FireEmblemMysteryOfTheEmblem dialogue with Hardin]] and the latter's Main/MotiveRant.

** Notably, [[TheMedic Sakura, Elise, and Lissa]] will do the "hang around" bit in any situation, while the player would like them to be actively going after enemies almost all of the time.

* HealingFactor: As long as a character stands in a fort their army controls, they will slowly recover HP. The amount can increase via Crests.

** Tier-1: Bronze Weapons are Dark Green which is the color that the metal takes during the process of oxidation.
** Tier-2: Iron Weapons are Dark Grey with blue effects.
** Tier-3: Steel Weapons are Black with white edges.
** Tier-4: Silver Weapons are [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Silver]] with red trimmings.
** Tier-5: Legendary/Brave Weapons. The default brave weapons are Steel with blue and gold trimmings.
** Tier-6: Hero Weapons are made with the colors of the rainbow.

** Azura and Jakob/Felicia aren't present in The Path is Yours -- the ''Fates'' History Mode -- when they're supposed to be the only ones that side with Corrin initially in the ''Revelation'' route.

* DemotedToExtra: In a class example, this is the first game where the [[MightyGlacier Knight]] class line is unplayable. The closest equivalent, is Frederick, a dual cavalry/armored category unit, who is a promoted Knight.

** [[WeaponOfXSlaying Weapons designed to specifically target a certain class of enemy]] (such as heavy armor, dragons and mounted units) are typically weaker than other weapons of their class, and forging these qualities on other weapons in turn will make them weaker. Exemptions come when those attributes are locked to the weapon, such as the three Falchions, which are most deadly against dragons but are still effective against other enemy types, and if the player has unlocked the True Power and Divine Favor weapon attributes on any given unit's personal weapon, which negates the weaker damage penalty from foreign Slaying attributes.

* ThemeNaming: The Hoshidans still retain their tendency to use kanji for their units' classes in the Japanese version, even classes that the Hoshidans didn't had in their home game like Knights and Cavaliers.

* TheLastOfTheseAreNotLikeTheOthers
** Azura is the only wholly original Lance unit, as Oboro has the standard Soldier moveset, and the other three are Pegasus Knights. Additionally, she's the only DLC ''Fates'' unit that has her personal weapon with her once the player has her in their Convoy.
** Lissa is the only infantry Axe unit. The rest are mounted Units.
** Tiki is the only unit to use Dragonstones.
** Velezark, despite being a dragon, is the only dragon in the game that doesn't suffer from dragon-slaying weapons.
** Xander is the only mounted sword unit.

* OddManOut
** Azura is the only wholly original Lance unit, as Oboro has the standard Soldier moveset, and the other three are Pegasus Knights. Additionally, she's the only DLC Fates unit that has her personal weapon with her once the player has her in their Convoy.
** Lissa is the only infantry Axe unit. The rest are mounted Units.
** Tiki is the only unit to use Dragonstones.
** Xander is the only mounted sword unit.

%%* TauntButton: Whether or not it will be a PracticalTaunt remains to be seen.

** Most maps require that you win within 60 minutes. In History Mode, certain battles will force you to win within 15 minutes.

* MyRulesAreNotYourRules: Each Strong Attack is part of a combo string preceded by a specific number of regular attacks, but the enemy AI is able to use any of their Strong Attacks at any time.

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Many members of the playable cast are royalty of some kind, with Rowan and Lianna being the most notable examples as the protagonists of the story. In fact, only Robin, Frederick, Cordelia, Anna, Niles, Oboro, Navarre, Tharja, and Olivia aren't royalty in some manner.

* TacticalRockPaperScissors: ''Fire Emblem'''s signature Weapon Triangle is kept for this game. Characters with a weapon advantage deal more and take less damage, and can deplete a foe's Weak Point Gauge much faster than usual, while having a disadvantage causes the exact opposite. [[SuperMode Awakening Mode]] breaks the triangle for as long as it lasts, giving a weapon advantage for its user even if they had a disadvantage beforehand (for example, Camilla, an axe user, gains an advantage over an enemy swordsman, who would normally have an advantage over her). Magic users like Robin and Leo exist outside this mechanic, instead dealing damage relative to their magic stat and their enemies' resistance to it. Similar treatment is applied to bow users, who are not as well-rounded but make up for it with every attack performed on Pegasus Knights being criticals.
