Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade - also known as Fire Emblem: Binding Blade and Fire Emblem: Sword of Seals - is the sixth game in the Fire Emblem series, released only in Japan on the Game Boy Advance in 2002. It takes place on the continent of Elibe, which is in a new continuity separate from all previous games.One day, the country of Bern decides to make unprovoked attacks on its neighbors Sacae and Ilia, and after successfully conquering them sets its sights for Lycia. Roy, son of Marquess Eliwood of the Lycian territory of Pherae, is tasked with leading the army in place of his ill father to defend his homeland and ward off the invading forces. What starts off as a fight against a hostile nation turns into a quest to gather the Divine Weapons of legend, uncover the truth about an ancient war against dragons known as The Scouring, and save the world from destruction.While it wasn't officially confirmed until 2015, this game is infamous for its rocky development history; it began in 1997 as a Nintendo 64 title, specifically for the 64DD, when it was known as Maiden of Darkness. However, after years of silence, its overambitiousness, alongside the failure of the 64DD forced development to restart as a Game Boy Advance title with its current name, as well as almost rewriting the entire cast (aside from Roy and Karel). However, it remains to be seen as to what else has changed between the the transition from the Nintendo 64 to the Game Boy Advance.The Binding Blade is notable for two major contributions to the franchise. The first is the introduction of the recurring Support feature, an expansion of the Relationship Values introduced in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. Characters build their relationships by spending a lot of time together in battle, which unlocks special conversations between them that allow for extra characterization, Character Development, and occasionally reveal character backgrounds. Unlocking Supports also grants boosted stats to characters with shared ranks when they stand near each other. The second contribution is more indirect — Roy was included as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Melee, which helped give Fire Emblem international exposure and led to later games getting released outside of Japan.The game also has a manga adaptation, Fire Emblem: Champion's Sword (Hasha no Tsurugi), that was published in Japan from 2001 to 2005. Taking place concurrently with Roy's story, it follows a quartet of Canon Foreigners on their quest to find the Fire Emblem.The Binding Blade is followed by Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, a prequel starring Roy's father Eliwood.

comment
Bloodless Carnage: Chapter 3 has a rare subversion to this trope in the franchise, as Hector's portrait is depicted with blood all over his face after suffering severe wounds dealt by Narcian and Brunnya. The game plays this trope straight otherwise, as none of the characters bleed whenever they get hit during combat.

Antepiece
 Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade (Video Game) / int_13dcb20b
comment
Antepiece: Antepieces are plentiful in The Binding Blade, mainly for concepts not demonstrated in the tutorial or explained by characters. Chapter 12, in particular, has a few: It has the first long-ranged tome-user, a Shaman close to the treasure room in Roy's side of the map. The Shaman uses Eclipse, which is quite unlikely to hit, but still demonstrates that magic-users can have long-ranged magic (and can move while using it). Eclipse comes up again with a somewhat-more-accurate caster in Chapter 12x, and far-more-accurate (but less-damaging) tomes come up in 14x and 16. It has the first offensive staff-user, a Priest with a Sleep staff, after you may have acquired one in the previous chapter. Roy's army starts in an open courtyard with little risk of being hit while asleep, so the Priest serves as an antepiece who can be either interrupted (by penetrating into the enemy-filled battlements) or outlasted. It mainly teaches that the Restore staff is still going to be useful, however, especially when offensive Staves are used in less-convenient starting positions such as in 12x and 14. Lastly, the boss itself is an antepiece, as a Manakete who won't move. You have a reasonable amount of time to practice and experiment with the dragon, before three moving ones come up in Chapter 14 with heavily-restricted movement, followed by two fully-motile ones in Chapter 16.

Rescue Romance: Four of Roy's six potential love interests have to be rescued at some point. First is Sue, held prisoner by Wagner in Thria. Then there's Lilina, locked up in her own castle as part of an attempted coup. The last two, Cecilia and Sophia, are a twofer, being locked up in the same cell after Zephiel defeats the former in Missur.

Early Game Hell
 Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade (Video Game) / int_1527d90d
comment
Early Game Hell: One of the more pronounced examples in the series. The early enemies are very strong, such that even Crutch Character Marcus isn't completely safe, and many of the early party members (Bors, Wolt, Wade) are borderline worthless. As the party grows larger, the good units start to blossom, and the stronger characters join, the difficulty becomes much more manageable. Chapter 4 is considered a particularly nasty one, as it's about when you start facing enemies strong enough to really challenge Marcus, but you don't get Rutger until near the end.

Breather Level: The first gaiden chapter (8x) has remarkably easy Bandit Mooks that you can engage a few at a time, letting you level up underlevelled characters that haven't caught up yet such as Lilina or Wendy. This is contrasted strongly by the Wake-Up Call Boss Henning, who challenges your party even more strongly than Leygance before him, especially on Hard Mode.

Relationship Values
 Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade (Video Game) / int_19a781f
comment
Relationship Values: The Binding Blade introduced the support system in its modern form, patterned after the marriage system from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. Certain characters build friendships or romance by ending turns next to each other, quickly for some and glacially slow for others. Characters that have built their friendships sufficiently can then partake in special conversations and receive status buffs when near each other.

Multiple Endings
 Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77
comment
Act 3 is roughly Chapters 17 through to the end (including 20x and 21x), centered on Bern. Having finally focused the rest of Elibe and united its resolve, Roy now gets to go on the offensive against Bern, starting with the nations and Etrurian officials under its influence and control. Bern itself is only entered upon Chapter 21; depending on if you qualify for the better endings or not, the Climax Boss is either Chapter 21's Murdock (immediately after learning Zephiel's story) or Zephiel himself in Chapter 22. The Dénouement is then the Chapters after 22, which you may only play if you qualified for the better endings; these shift the story from Zephiel to the Dragons themselves, but the final battle is a Post-Final Boss giving Roy the ability to put Zephiel's continent-terrorizing ambitions to rest.

The Quisling
 Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade (Video Game) / int_1e679bd0
comment
The Quisling: A common theme in The Binding Blade is nations selling out their allies and switching sides to the invading empire to save their own skin: Several members of the Lycian Houses betray their alliance to side with Bern, either due to being afraid of Bern's military might or tempted with the promise of power. Etruria is turned into a puppet state for Bern after their king is struck with grief and then taken hostage. All of its generals except Cecilia obey Bern's orders, though they end up joining Roy's army one by one. Monke of Sacae and Sigune of Ilia side with Bern for the same reasons, thinking that Bern's victory is inevitable. Interestingly, despite being the one benefiting from this, King Zephiel sees this trait as a reason why the entire human race is not to be trusted. He intends to hand over the world to dragons if he successfully conquers the continent.

Most of the rest of the game's Sorting Algorthm is more natural; the Lycian enemies are those who were too weak and/or cowardly to fight Bern at Araphen, the enemies in the Western Isles have only had themselves and mostly-unarmed peasants to fight before Roy's arrival, the Etrurian enemies haven't done much of any fighting before the Coup d'etat (and a significant portion of them are mercenaries anyway), and Bern's forces attempt defense in depth when Roy and Etruria finally move into Ilia and Sacae.

The game has the good grace to tell you if you miss a bonus chapter by taking too long, at least, and practically tells you that you need Lilina in order to get one of the Divine Weapons. The other objectives, though, get no such favors. The prequel game does a little hinting towards how to get Forblaze in this game, by having Sophia appear as a cameo to ask about Athos.

Recurring Element: There are many aspects of The Binding Blade that are extremely similar to previous games, notably Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem and Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. Some of the characters (Miledy is a very blatant Expy of Minerva in terms of class, looks, and personality and Altena in terms of relationship to Galle) and parts of the plot (mostly about Idunn being the "Dark Dragon", the various political coups, the legendary warriors and their weapons, all of the liberation that Roy does). The game does tackle all of this in a different enough manner to not be a total repeat, but it's clear that there was a lot of inspiration taken from previous titles.

Breaking Old Trends
 Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade (Video Game) / int_311500f5
comment
Breaking Old Trends: This is the first game in the series to lack any involvement with franchise creator Shouzou Kaga, since he left Intelligent Systems before its predecessor Thracia 776 was released. It is also the first handheld title, as all previous games were on home consoles instead, though it was going to be on the Nintendo 64 under a different title at one point. This is the first game to not have a dark mage as one of the main antagonists (or at least the main antagonist), as all enemy shamans and druids encountered throughout the course of the game are instead mooks or minor bosses. It is by far the only game in the franchise: that introduces a playable elderly woman in the form of Niime, who is a prepromoted druid, as all other playable elders are male.note As of now, no other game in the series, even after Binding Blade, has introduced a female elder that is playable, though Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones has unused data for Dara, which could imply that she would've been playable at one point, and while Saphir appears to look quite old, unused data shows that she is 35, though it's unclear if it's canon. In which the lord's father doesn't die (Despite suffering from an illness), but rather it is the heroine's (Lilina's father Hector) who does. Since Eliwood only shows up in the first chapter of this game and doesn't make any further physical appearances outside of the non-canon Trial Maps, this also makes Roy the only lord in the series to have his father show up onscreen and survive, and overall one of the few lords with at least one parent still living. While previous final bosses were all males, Idunn, the true final boss of this game, is female instead. Whenever a weapon breaks, they no longer remain in a unit's inventory as broken weapons, which was a feature that was once unique to the SNES games. They simply vanish after they break just like the NES duology, and subsequent titles went with it, until Fire Emblem: Three Houses finally brought them back after a 20-year absence.

Sorting Algorithm of Evil
 Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade (Video Game) / int_323f135b
comment
Sorting Algorithm of Evil: In Chapter 3, Zephiel, Idunn, and Narcian—all of them very powerful fighters—are all present at Araphen Castle. Idunn, the Final Boss, offers to take out Roy's band of low-level fighters and mercenaries, but Zephiel declines and departs with her, leaving the matter to Narcian. He promptly turns the matter over to a low-level knight so he can lech on Clarine. This happens again in Chapter 13, with the handoff towards a Wyvern Lord named Flaer instead, but happens so Narcian can cover his ass about Flaer's own Sorting-Algorithm moment in Chapter 12; assigned to ensure Roy's death in the Western Isles, Flaer took charge from Arcard—a stronger but more-cowardly fighter—and then immediately left things to a Manakete, who was stronger than Flaer but utterly unsuited for the task. Most of the rest of the game's Sorting Algorthm is more natural; the Lycian enemies are those who were too weak and/or cowardly to fight Bern at Araphen, the enemies in the Western Isles have only had themselves and mostly-unarmed peasants to fight before Roy's arrival, the Etrurian enemies haven't done much of any fighting before the Coup d'etat (and a significant portion of them are mercenaries anyway), and Bern's forces attempt defense in depth when Roy and Etruria finally move into Ilia and Sacae.

Lastly, the boss itself is an antepiece, as a Manakete who won't move. You have a reasonable amount of time to practice and experiment with the dragon, before three moving ones come up in Chapter 14 with heavily-restricted movement, followed by two fully-motile ones in Chapter 16.

The Good Kingdom
 Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade (Video Game) / int_42224ac2
comment
Act 2 is roughly Chapters 9 through 16 (including 12x, 14x, and 16x), centered on Etruria. While Act 1 ends with Roy "selling out" to Etruria to buy time for his homeland, Act 2 has him find that "The Good Kingdom" isn't nearly as good of an option as he thought. Once again the Greater-Scope Villain, Bern manipulates Etruria's nobles to try to demoralize and/or destroy Roy in the Western Isles, before finally showing Roy a Dragon in Chapter 12. The Darkest Hour for Roy starts when he panics after facing the Dragon, and continues into the first part of Chapter 13, when the vile forces in Etruria rear their ugly heads and get the person who saved him at the end of Act 1 grievously injured by Zephiel himself. Roy persists, however, and ends the Act by removing Bern's corrupting influence from Etruria in Chapter 16.

Early Installment Character-Design Difference
 Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade (Video Game) / int_4348c929
comment
Early Installment Character-Design Difference: Being the first Game Boy Advance title, several of the classes' battle sprites in this game look different compared to the ones of the later two: The sprites of the swordmasters, mercenaries, male heroes, thieves, male archers, snipers, male bishops, sages, and nomadic troopers all have different hairstyles. In addition, the male priests have slightly darker hair. The mercenary, mage, shaman, and druid sprites have brighter and saturated colours compared to the ones that appeared in later games. Some battle sprites also look different: Male mages have a taller hood, brown boots instead of colour-coded ones, and a slightly different cape, as well as being drawn at a different angle. Male bishops wear hats that the ones of later games lacked. Male sages wore shoulder pads and a slightly different shirt, whereas their distaff counterparts have puffed-up sleeves, and wore bracelets instead of arm-length gloves. Mercenaries have slightly different builds compared to the ones of later games. Thieves are given a somewhat youthful appearance here. Later games had their sprites altered to appear much older. Unlike other GBA mages, Lilina uses a different battle sprite when unpromoted. In this case, hers has long hair, straight bangs, wore bracelets instead of gloves, and wears a shirt/skirt combo, all of which the female mages of succeeding GBA games lacked.

You Have Failed Me: Murdock repeatedly leaves his generals who fail him (such as Narcian and the Etrurian traitors) to hold off Roy's army, even as Galle points out they will almost certainly fail. Murdock justifies this by saying Bern has no use for officers who cannot win, and that either outcome works for him.

They believe that all of Elibe's suffering can be laid at mankind's doorstep, starting with The Scouring. As such, they want to purge the continent of them. And humans did strike the first blow in the Scouring after generations of peaceful coexistence.

Suspicious Video-Game Generosity: There's a Halberd available at the end of Chapter 3, a weapon that normally wouldn't be available until sometime later in the game. The following chapter is infested with powerful Cavaliers that just so happen to be weak to that weapon. The same goes for the Wyrmslayer, which you receive right before you encounter the first Manaketes and before the Wyvern attacks really get bad.

Badass Family: Roy's potential parents in Blazing Blade include Lyn and Fiora, both warriors, and Ninian, who is a half-dragon. Lilina's mothers (Farina, Florina, or Lyn) are also ladies of war, and their respective parents are rulers of their countries. Lilina and Roy can also potentially be cousins. Wolt similarly hails from one of these (son of Rebecca, who could marry Sain, Wil, or Lowen), as do Lugh and Raigh (Nino's twins, fathered by either Jaffar or Erk). Even without factoring in Canas from Blazing Blade, Hugh and his grandmother Niime are both very capable mages.

Meta Twist: While it took a lot of inspiration from the Archanea games, it does play around with recurring tropes and parts of the plot to differentiate itself. Roy and Lilina's fathers are the inverted counterparts of Marth and Caeda's. Marth's father, Cornelius, was killed during the War of Shadows, while Roy's father, Eliwood, only ever shows up in the first chapter and become irrelevant afterwards. Meanwhile, Caeda's father, Mostyn, survives the events of the game just fine and all, but Lilina's father, Hector, dies during the Disturbance of Bern instead. Zephiel has a similar thing going on. It's common for the villain to have once been a decent man, who was then corrupted by an evil force (Julius in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, Hardin in Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem). Zephiel has characters explaining he used to be good but became twisted and malevolent, and he's usually shown alongside Idunn, a creepy woman in a dark cloak that apparently showed up when he changed. Then we learn that Idunn is an demon dragon from the distant past. So she was the one who corrupted him and he's just her pawn, right? Nope! Zephiel became the way he was through a good old-fashioned Despair Event Horizon, and when he did so, he released Idunn from her prison so she could help him. Idunn is the one who's a magically-corrupted pawn, and though she's the Final Boss, she's pretty much mindless for most of the game and is only carrying out Zephiel's final wish alongside his surviving servants by the time you fight her. Perceval seems to bear resemblances to Camus, and looks to fit in with the eponymous archetype... except he's actually recruitable, doesn't choose My Country, Right or Wrong, and survives the events of the game (if he is kept alive).

 Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade (Video Game) / int_57d43e40
comment
Fantasy Counterpart Culture: Sacae is primarily based on Mongolia, and take both their English and Japanese names from exonyms for the Scythians of the Eurasian steppe. It's a far-eastern nation with a notable tradition of horseback riding and archery, and a religion that worships the sky and earth. However, for a people based on Mongolians, they mind their own business most of the time and are in fact invaded by Bern, instead of being the ones doing the invading like their real life counterparts. Their swordsmen however get more inspiration from Chinese and Japanese literature. Myrmidons/Swordmasters clearly use katanas, and those characters, especially Karel, are heavy with "wandering samurai" tropes. Etruria is based on Medieval Rome. It is the seat of the Church of the game's resident Crystal Dragon Jesus and a nation with a high level of civilization. Notably, the real life civilization of Etruria was a state in what is now Central Italy which was conquered by Rome. Ilia is named for the poetic name for the city-state of Troy in Real Life. Very little is known about ancient Troy except for what is found in Greek epic poetry and medieval knightly romances, which is probably why the in-game Ilia is entirely populated by mercenaries and knights. The setting itself, and its people, better-resemble the Terra Mariana of the late Middle Ages; cold, run by knightly orders, and dotted with practicioners of the old ways. Bern is named after the capital of Switzerland. It may seem odd that the capital of a nation famed for neutrality would be the basis of a brutal, militaristic empire like Bern, but in the Middle Ages, Bern was a powerful and brutal city state that had conquered and ruled substantial parts of Switzerland and Continental Europe. Much like the in-game Bern, it was also famed for being mountainous and difficult to assail. Lycia is based directly on the real-life Lycian League, a confederation of Roman city-states bound by agreement to assist each other in times of war. Much like in the game, the real life Lycian League had problems with member states not honoring the alliance or trying to sell each other out to larger, more powerful nations. The Western Isles appear based on the British Isles, with Fibernia being a corruption of "Hibernia" (the Latin name for Ireland) and Caledonia being the Latin name for Scotland. Armagh (in the Echidna path) is named after the seat of Christendom in Ireland, Ebarcum is named after the Roman provincial capital that became York, Idina (in the Bartre path) is named after the old bardic name for Edinburgh, and Jutes is named after one of the Germanic tribes that invaded Great Britain after the Romans pulled out. The Nabata Desert is possibly named for Nabatea, the Kingdom that held the Sinai Peninsula and the southern Levant from ancient times up to its annexation by Roman Emperor Trajan. The Nabatean capital of Petra, like Arcadia in-game, was a hidden oasis city built around structures that contained whatever water was present. The mix of humans and Dragons in Arcadia mirrors the variety of cultures that would have engaged with Petra, with their traces left in its stone edifices hundreds-to-thousands of years after they left. Nabata sits on the Peninsula of Missur, which may be named for the Arabic name for Egypt, with Arcadia happening to sit in its northeastern portion like the Sinai with Egypt.

We Have Reserves: This repeatedly occurs with characters who are hired as mercenaries.

Inconsistent Spelling: Binding is a bit worse about it than a number of other FE entries due to just how long the game's gone without an official release, and how long the fans only had katakana and a few sources of romanized names in JP materials to rely on (with some of those clearly not matching the katakana—"Thite" being a classic example). The whole cast only got official names once Fire Emblem Heroes rolled around with its Choose Your Legend event.

Uncanny Valley: The war dragons themselves. They are basically artificial yet soulless manaketes created by Idunn whose sole purpose is to fight, meaning that they do not act like real manaketes at all. War dragons also bear a resemblance to the morphs from the prequel, in that they are both artificial beings that normally don't act like the ones they're modeled after. Aine at least resembles a manakete in a way, but judging from his dialogue, what's off about him is that he barely acts like a real one at all.

Guide Dang It!
 Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8
comment
Guide Dang It!: While it is easier to recruit Thea by having Klein talk to her, this game has an alternative but more difficult way of recruiting her by having Shanna talk to her before and after recruiting Klein. If you only talk to her with Shanna after recruiting Klein, she becomes an NPC and will not join your army afterwards, even if she survives the battle. The game never tells you about this method, and no reason has been explained about its existence. Recruiting Douglas doesn't make sense at a first glance. He starts as an enemy and proactively attacks, and nobody can make him a friendly unit by talking to him (including his prince and his adopted daughter) like other potential recruits. You have to seize the throne first. The game has the good grace to tell you if you miss a bonus chapter by taking too long, at least, and practically tells you that you need Lilina in order to get one of the Divine Weapons. The other objectives, though, get no such favors. The prequel game does a little hinting towards how to get Forblaze in this game, by having Sophia appear as a cameo to ask about Athos.

Unwitting Pawn: The Lycia Alliance army is sent to the Western Isles to fight "bandits", but their would-be foes are rebels who have very legitimate reasons for opposing the government. You are eventually informed the the reason for this "mission" is that the Etrurian official who gave it to you, Advisor Roartz, is The Quisling.

Later-Installment Weirdness: The Binding Blade makes the rare boots item available for purchase via the secret shop in Chapter 21, just like the original Famicom version of Shadow Dragon. As long as the player has sufficient funds, this makes it possible for players to buy multiple boots and apply them to a single unit to boost their movement, therefore breaking the last few chapters of the game. This doubles as Early-Installment Weirdness, as extra or maxed-out movement was deemed too broken that this is the second and also last game where boots can be bought.

Crutch Character: Marcus, Zelot, and to a extent Dieck are all essential for carrying the player through Early Game Hell, particularly Hard Mode. While the former two fall off combat-wise, they remain useful for their mobility and utility; Dieck's combat stays good if he's trained, but starts to fall off toward the end. Rutger is practically required for early Hard Mode as well, but he retains his usefulness as a boss killer.

Three-Act Structure
 Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade (Video Game) / int_8386a7a
comment
Three-Act Structure: An ideal run-through of Binding Blade has 25 story chapters and 6 mandatory side-chapters, that split into three chunks of roughly-equal length with a different national focus for each: Act 1 is roughly Chapters 1 through 8 (including 8x if you save Lilina), centered on Lycia. In this part, Bern is more of a Greater-Scope Villain, with the more-immediate threats being Lycian bandits and other forces in Lycia that didn't oppose Bern with Roy; they take drastic actions to try to get in Bern's good graces (or to profit off the disorder), which just result in them being defeated by Roy after underestimating him. The Act ends with Roy staunching the bleeding in Lycia; he cannot handle Bern just yet, but he can stabilize his homeland. Act 2 is roughly Chapters 9 through 16 (including 12x, 14x, and 16x), centered on Etruria. While Act 1 ends with Roy "selling out" to Etruria to buy time for his homeland, Act 2 has him find that "The Good Kingdom" isn't nearly as good of an option as he thought. Once again the Greater-Scope Villain, Bern manipulates Etruria's nobles to try to demoralize and/or destroy Roy in the Western Isles, before finally showing Roy a Dragon in Chapter 12. The Darkest Hour for Roy starts when he panics after facing the Dragon, and continues into the first part of Chapter 13, when the vile forces in Etruria rear their ugly heads and get the person who saved him at the end of Act 1 grievously injured by Zephiel himself. Roy persists, however, and ends the Act by removing Bern's corrupting influence from Etruria in Chapter 16. Act 3 is roughly Chapters 17 through to the end (including 20x and 21x), centered on Bern. Having finally focused the rest of Elibe and united its resolve, Roy now gets to go on the offensive against Bern, starting with the nations and Etrurian officials under its influence and control. Bern itself is only entered upon Chapter 21; depending on if you qualify for the better endings or not, the Climax Boss is either Chapter 21's Murdock (immediately after learning Zephiel's story) or Zephiel himself in Chapter 22. The Dénouement is then the Chapters after 22, which you may only play if you qualified for the better endings; these shift the story from Zephiel to the Dragons themselves, but the final battle is a Post-Final Boss giving Roy the ability to put Zephiel's continent-terrorizing ambitions to rest.

Hard Mode Perks
 Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade (Video Game) / int_8dc2b0f2
comment
Hard Mode Perks: The first game in the series to institute a Hard Mode, and it was pretty clear they saw it as more of a bonus than its own game—what it primarily does is simply autolevel the enemies to be stronger. Recruitable units that are on the map from the start don't obtain these bonuses, but due to an oversight, units that show up as reinforcements do. And Binding Blade has a notoriously significant jump between Normal and Hard Mode, with late-game enemies gaining as much of ten extra levels of class growths, which means recruitable units also receive these gargantuan boosts. The idea stuck around for the sequel (though it may have been an oversight there as well), but hasn't shown up since then.

Art-Shifted Sequel: This game marked a shift in art style with the turn of the millennium.

The in-game color palette is far brighter compared to the previous titles on the Super Famicom, a necessity due to the original model of the Game Boy Advance not being backlit.

Luck-Based Mission: Chapter 7 on Hard Mode is one of the more notorious chapters in the game in that it is practically impossible to guarantee the survival and recruitment of all 3 NPCs (Trec, Zelot, and Noah) and ensure that your own party all lives. The one saving grace is that the two cavaliers are non essential, and it's easier to keep Zealot alive in order to get the Ilia gaiden chapter and the true ending. Chapters 11A/10B are also renowned for being difficult multi-objective messes that hinge on green unit AI.

In Chapter 8, there is always one tile in the prison cell Lilina is locked in that the archer is unable to reach. Because Lilina is already playable from the start of the chapter, she can be moved to the tile not in the archer's range, until the archer is no longer near the prison cell. This makes it easier to keep her alive without having to worry about having to rush your entire army just to save her.

Story Branching: In Chapter 9, there is a pair of villages that determine which path Roy takes in the Western Isles. If he visits the right village, he later goes inland to try and find a local militia, and then heads south to shut down the local slave hold. If he visits the left village, he heads north to pursue rumors of misdeeds at the Isles' largest mine. The right-village path has him recruit Elphin and meet Bartre, and allows Wade & Lot to touch back with their families. The left-village path has Roy recruit Lalum, one of his potential marriage partners, and meet Echidna; this choice is considered the "default" one, and is selected if you didn't visit either village. Roy goes through either Sacae or Ilia depending on whether or not your pair of nomads or pegasus knights, respectively, have higher cumulative experience. You also recruit different characters on each path—the leader of Sue & Sin's clan in Sacae, and Thea & Shanna's older sister in Ilia. It is worth noting that the Ilia path is the "default" one, and is selected as a tiebreaker if all other factors are equal.

Greater-Scope Villain
 Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade (Video Game) / int_9b06e314
comment
Act 1 is roughly Chapters 1 through 8 (including 8x if you save Lilina), centered on Lycia. In this part, Bern is more of a Greater-Scope Villain, with the more-immediate threats being Lycian bandits and other forces in Lycia that didn't oppose Bern with Roy; they take drastic actions to try to get in Bern's good graces (or to profit off the disorder), which just result in them being defeated by Roy after underestimating him. The Act ends with Roy staunching the bleeding in Lycia; he cannot handle Bern just yet, but he can stabilize his homeland.

Elite Mooks: Implied, Bern often has squads of soldiers of the same class clustered together and tend to move together, with one either being higher levelled, promoted, and/or has better weaponry compared to the others that's implied to be their leader. Taken to an extreme in Chapter 21, when Roy invades Bern, he faces all the remaining Wyvern riders still protecting it, which comprise of scary high-level Wyvern Lords with Silver Lances leading both regular veterans (Level 20 Wyvern Riders) and fresh recruits (Level 5 Wyvern Riders).

Ilia is named for the poetic name for the city-state of Troy in Real Life. Very little is known about ancient Troy except for what is found in Greek epic poetry and medieval knightly romances, which is probably why the in-game Ilia is entirely populated by mercenaries and knights. The setting itself, and its people, better-resemble the Terra Mariana of the late Middle Ages; cold, run by knightly orders, and dotted with practicioners of the old ways.

Child Soldiers: A lot of playable characters in this game are stated to be teenagers in the Fire Emblem Characters book, but a majority look to be no older than early/mid teens, at an age where they are supposed to be too young to fight. Sophia and Fae, despite being long-lived dragons, also look very young, with the latter looking like a child. However, because most of the characters ages were not made exact, the only teenage characters with confirmed/implied ages are Lugh and Raighnote 13, Roynote 15, and Lilinanote also 15. This makes Roy himself one of the youngest lords in the franchise.

Lighter and Softer: Not really. By contrast to the Jugdral games, The Binding Blade is a lot more optimistic, as it is at best a simple story taking cues from the first three games, and it is also notable for making it possible to give Idunn, the game's True Final Boss, a Happy Ending by meeting certain conditions. However, it still has dark elements, such as how Western Isles men were enslaved and forced to work in various mines, the Big Bad's backstory revealing that his father's hostility towards him is what warped his perception on humanity, and how Idunn herself was forced to become a demon dragon against her will.

Easy Levels, Hard Bosses
 Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade (Video Game) / int_d4fa75fc
comment
Easy Levels, Hard Bosses: Binding Blade stands out for having enemies more or less fairly leveled (and somewhat harder than contemporary games), but scary difficult-to-hit bosses parked on thrones that are a legitimate threat to your units. Chapter 8x is one of the better examples, where there is a horde of easy enemies for you to train weaker units with, but Henning is a Wake-Up Call Boss where you basically need a promoted character to deal with. Hard Mode has tough bosses and tough enemies with higher stats and in greater numbers.

Anti-Frustration Features
 Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3
comment
Anti-Frustration Features: Starting with this game, the unit starting positions can now be altered on the map from the preparations menu. This was done to avoid the stress of having to reorder units via complicated methods just so they could have a set position, which was present in the previous games. It's still possible to do the latter method, however. Mercifully, the enemy units that spawn with Rutger in Chapter 4 will ignore Clarine while she's an NPC as she trots over to Roy, though other enemies will attack her. They will continue to not target her once she's recruited, though this is probably due to a programming oversight. In Chapter 8, there is always one tile in the prison cell Lilina is locked in that the archer is unable to reach. Because Lilina is already playable from the start of the chapter, she can be moved to the tile not in the archer's range, until the archer is no longer near the prison cell. This makes it easier to keep her alive without having to worry about having to rush your entire army just to save her. The requirements to unlock two of the Gaiden chaptersnote Chapter 12x and Chapter 21x) do not require Elphin, and Melady & Zeiss respectively to be deployed. All the player has to do is fulfill the other Gaiden chapter requirements,note 20 Turns and 30 Turns respectively as well as ensure that they're still alive. In Elphin's case, however, he is never recruited in the Northern route of Western Isles, making that route's version of Chapter 12x only requiring 20 turns to be unlocked. While a surviving Zelot doesn't have to be deployed in Chapter 20 Ilia to unlock the gaiden chapter following it, his wife, Juno, still needs to be recruited by Shanna or Thea, if they're both alive, and the 25 turns requirement is still needed. Gale in Chapter 21 was evidently programmed to be recruitable at some point, resulting in he and the units he spawns with behaving oddly-passively. Gale and his subordinates will only attack Roy, as his orders from Murdock imply, so your other units are safe around them; this also makes arranging the conversation between Gale and Melady much easier. Fog of War no longer obscures the entire map like in Thracia 776. Instead, only the enemies will be hidden while Fog of War is in effect, but the map will remain visible.

Despair Event Horizon: King Mordred of Etruria is sunk in a depression from the death of his son Myrddin and is almost apathetic about what's happening to his country. He gets better when Elffin the bard reveals that he is Myrddin.

comment
In Chapter 9, there is a pair of villages that determine which path Roy takes in the Western Isles. If he visits the right village, he later goes inland to try and find a local militia, and then heads south to shut down the local slave hold. If he visits the left village, he heads north to pursue rumors of misdeeds at the Isles' largest mine. The right-village path has him recruit Elphin and meet Bartre, and allows Wade & Lot to touch back with their families. The left-village path has Roy recruit Lalum, one of his potential marriage partners, and meet Echidna; this choice is considered the "default" one, and is selected if you didn't visit either village.

Last of His Kind
 Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade (Video Game) / int_e26f04b4
comment
Last of His Kind: Jahn claims to be the last dragon, even his battle theme is named after that fact. Technically, there are other dragons around, but Idunn is not a "true" dragon since she became a Dark Dragon, and the war dragons she created are not real dragons either. This doesn't even touch on Arcadia, though Fae can't transform into a mature dragon yet, and the others don't consider themselves to be dragons since they supposedly can't transform. However, there are dragons on the other side of the Gate and in the Dread Isles, as seen in the prequel.

Dub Name Change: Some of the territories and cities named after European countries and cities are changed in the PAL version to avoid confusion, e.g. "Bern" becomes "Biran" since the former is the capital of Switzerland.

Fog of War no longer obscures the entire map like in Thracia 776. Instead, only the enemies will be hidden while Fog of War is in effect, but the map will remain visible.

Art Evolution: Unlike in previous games, where the battle sprites were semi-realistic, the ones in this game are more expressive and cartoony, and are placed on floating platforms instead of a flat ground. These sprites would continue to see use for the next two GBA games.

comment
The Load: Roy receives his promotion via story event very late in the game. It's not hard for him to ram level 20 long before this, so he can't fight or else the rest of the party loses experience. Since every map is a Seize map, he also requires at least one mounted unit to Rescue, carry, and drop at the throne or gate in efficient play due to being on foot.

comment
Defensive Feint Trap: The Sacae tribesmen seem particularly fond of this, as their plan is to lure Roy's group into the Gate (or several of them) then spawn reinforcements all around them. This tactic makes sense, considering that Sacae is the fictional counterpart to the Mongols/Huns/Native American tribes.

The Grotesque: Years of mistreatment had led Gonzales to genuinely think he's a monster, as he'd been rejected by villagers and used by his lord as a mindless pile of muscles only good for spreading havoc, until Lilina saw through his scary exterior. A rare subversion of Beauty Equals Goodness in the series.

After chapter 8/8x, Roy's group is surrounded by Narcian and a number of Wyvern riders... then the later is chased off by an even greater Etrurian force lead by Cecilia and Perceval.

Undying Loyalty
 Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade (Video Game) / int_f16da697
comment
Undying Loyalty: The mercenaries of Ilia are ingrained to never break their contracts, regardless of morality or their individual odds. This is because their homeland is so poor, that cultivating reputations as reliable sellswords is all they have. The company comprising of Zelot, Noah, and Trec all hear that Hector (their employer) dies, but still continues to fight the rest of the Ostian forces that turn on Lycia. Hearing that Roy is still fighting for Hector is enough for them to join him. Thea is similarly loyal to Klein and will only join your side when he himself talks to her, not even Shanna talking to her will sway her, though at least she and her unit will stop attacking your forces.

comment
Wake-Up Call Boss: Leygance in Chapter 8 is the first promoted boss, and forces the player to use effective weaponry and/or promoted units if they haven't learned to yet. Henning in Chapter 8x is infamous for being really hard to hit, much less kill, for being so early in the game. Hard Mode practically forces the player to deal with the problem with an early promoted Rutger, or rely on another blessed promoted unit.

Gondor Calls for Aid: In Chapter 7, Roy is informed that the mighty troops of Bern are on their way to conquer Ostia. At this point of the story his army is quite small and weak, so he sends a letter to his teacher, General Cecilia of the neighboring country Etruria, asking for help. Cecilia arrives in the nick of time along with fellow General Percival, whose presence alone scares Bern's troops away. This aid doesn't come for free, though: Roy has to do Etruria's bidding for a while in exchange for this protection. And this bidding allows Bern free reign in the mainland while Roy is away doing errands on the Western Isles.
