History VideoGame / FireEmblemThracia776

* HeroicBastard: Perhaps, the most notable in the series in form of Fergus and Saias, the bastard sons of [[spoiler:Beowolf (with an unnamed Co0note princess) and Arvis (with his NumberTwo, the LadyOfBlackMagic Aida).]]

* HeroicBastard: Perhaps, the most notable in the series in form of Fergus and Saias, the bastard son of [[spoiler:Beowolf and Arvis.]]

* DiscOneNuke: Fin's Brave Lance allows him to attack twice in one turn, so he can crush the first arc of the game with it.

* HeroicBastard: Perhaps, the most notable in the series in form of Felgus and Saias, the bastard son of [[spoiler:Beowulf and Arvis.]]

** The [[CoolSword Blaggi Sword]] (also a SwordOfPlotAdvancement of sorts) is a 15 MT weapon with Armor slaying capabilities and plenty of usage. It also gives the Prayer ability, and negates the damage halving ability of the Loptyr Sword. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation While it supposedly can be used by anyone with a Holy Blood]], only Leif, Nanna, Felgus, and Delmud can use the sword.

%%* JackOfAllStats: Fred, Ralf, Eyrios in a more advanced way, Leif himself.

* LastDiscMagic: Holsety by Ced's courtesy in Chapter 23 is this.

%%** Pretty much every character with reasonable Staff Rank and/or High Magic Stats can be this. Thracia takes LinearWarriorsQuadraticWizards to an absurd length, so much that late game chapters can be utterly trivialized by using the right Staves at the right time. Anyone who promotes into a Sage counts as one, thanks to the ridiculous promotion gains the class offers.

* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: It is either Olwen (two almighty unique magic weapons) or Eyrios (a stone wall that through smart Skill Manual usage becomes the best fighter in the game against late game non-boss units); it is either Miranda and Conomore (a mage princess and his guardian) or Amalda and Sleuf (a quite venturesome yet affected by the child hunt woman general and a dedicated priest to the right cause).

* OfficialCouple: In ''Genealogy of the Holy War'', all pairings except Sigurd/Deirdre, Quan/Ethlyn [[spoiler:and Arvis/Deirdre]] were optional and customizable. However, Lewyn/Levin x Ferry was canonized in '''Thracia 776''' through the presence of Ced ''and'' Forseti in the game. [[spoiler:[[ShipSinking The marriage didn't end very happily though]], due to either personal difficulties or Lewyn/Levin having his memories and/or personality messed with upon being revived/possessed by Forseti]].
** Also, this game strongly hints at Raquesis/Beowulf and Raquesis/Finn - yes, both of them, as Beowulf is Delmud's daddy and Finn is Nanna's. Also, Beowulf seems to have ''another'' son with an unnamed noblewoman of Conote, Fergus, who's a playable character here. This makes Delmud, who already has Nanna as a maternal half-sister, have ''another'' half-sibling on his dad's side. Yes, the families in this game are really fucked up.

* OneManArmy: Eyrios with the Wrath skill imbued into him is nearly unkillable when sent against elite mooks without the "Awareness" (skill-neglecting) skill as their asset.

* AdultFear: [[spoiler: Mareeta]]'s backstory involves a lot of these. [[spoiler: She was an innocent girl living in hiding with her {{fallen prince|ss}} father, who did what he could to keep her safe and next to him. They were doing fine as travellers, but once Galzus was distracted for a mere second - BAM! Young Mareeta was kidnapped by slave traders and taken into a slave market. Thank God [[MamaBear Eyvel]] was there for her, but if she didn't...]] This is invoked again at the beginning, when [[spoiler: Mareeta and Eyvel's ''other'' daughter Nanna get caught by the enemy, and you have to ''fight a BrainwashedAndCrazy Mareeta'' who's under the influence of an EvilWeapon...]]

*** Likewise, Fred and Olwen marry if neither kicks it. Same goes to Machyua and Brighton, and Tanya and Orsin. [[spoiler: While not ''as'' openly stated, Princess Miranda is hinted to have married Conomore, which doubles as MayDecemberRomance since he was her ''father's'' retainer.]]

* TakenForGranite: The BigBad's modus operandi. [[spoiler:Eyvel]] gets hit with it early on. You can get [[spoiler: her]] back in a sidequest chapter later on, if you meet certain requirements.

** Eyvel is probably the best example of this in the series. Yeah, Jagen and Marcus in VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade are probably considered the archetypical examples; but Eyvel is [[spoiler:removed from the player's party relatively early on, and doesn't return until very late game, and even then only if you visit a certain side chapter.]] Furthermore, the game will literally [[PlotArmor rig the RNG so that she can't die]] early in the game, in order to ensure that [[spoiler:she gets turned to stone by Veld in chapter 5.]]

** For the characters that can be considered one, there's Finn, Dagdar, and Brighton. Finn actually has a good stats growth, and is a solid unit throughout the whole game, but he is put on a disadvantage for the late game indoor chapters thanks to dismounting, which means he can't use Lances, including his signature Brave Lance. Dagdar is a prepromote with bad growth, but good enough base stats to be used for almost the entire game. Both of them are essential to build up your resource through capturing, since they are basically tailor made for capturing. Brighton is a bit of a special case. His base stats and growth rate are not particularly good. To make up for it, he has a mount outdoors, has awesome durability, and has the skill ''Wrath'' which allows him to consistently score a critical hit during counterattacks. Bryton is pretty much the closest replacement to Finn, Dagdar, and Eyvel during the Manster Prison Break.

* DungeonBypass: Warp staves can trivialize a number of levels, and this is actually the suggested strategy for certain chapters. There are also Rewarp staves (which are an enemy-only item), which warp the user, and Rescue Staves, which bring a far-away unit to a space adjacent to the caster.

* DefogOfWar: First instance of use of the "Torch" item and the most realistic too, as a single torch can only be used once (even if the rag wrapping its head could also be replaced, but maybe in the Thracian peninsula the technology still is not advanced enough to provide for reusable Torch wrapping valence (the slim texture around the head of the torch).

%%* AdvancingBossOfDoom: Galzus in chapter 5 (only if Eyvel and and Nanna kill enough enemies rummaging for them) and chapter 6 (only if more than 15 turns pass). He will also pester you in chapter 24, but he can be redeemed by his daughter.
%%* AntiClimaxBoss: Raydrik and Veld can easily be dispatched. It's the path to them that is dangerous, as in front of them there are a very powerful mercenary soldier (Galzus to Raydrik in Chapter 24 and a posse of Berserkers to Veld in Chapter Final).
* BonusBoss: In Chapter 4, 5 and 24, you can decide to either let Galzus live (very wise in Chapter 4; in Chapter 5 he can capture one of your units, halving his power but still being a potentially lethal enemy due to his offensive special skills; in Chapter 24 he can be billed in the hero's army if his daughter gammons his lemur, being actually a suggested option, due to the fact that if Chapter 24x is unlocked, Galzus will be a very solid asset to the hero them and, pretty much, the best fighter on the team, as he will receive a total of +50 hit\avoid if Mareeta (20%), Nanna (10%), Delmud (10%) and any character wielding the King Sword (10%) will be nearby him up to three square further).
%%* BossInMookClothing: The most famous is the "Penta-Axe" general in Chapter 23.

%%* CrutchCharacter:

%%* DungeonBypass: Warp, Rewarp and Rescue Staffs, enough said.

%%* FogOfWar: Introduced here at its worst, because all Fog Of War maps are pretty much hidden in the darkness and the layout has to be figured out as one plays.
%%* ForegoneConclusion: Well, obviously; as this game only ends about half-way through ''Genealogy of the Holy War''.

%%* LastDiscMagic: Holsety by Ced's courtesy in Chapter 23 is this.

%%* NintendoHard: The series is normally hard, but in a game where Heal Staves can miss, ''Thracia 776'' turns it UpToEleven. The game relies on surprise factor and some clever map design for most of its difficulty.

* CuttingOffTheBranches: The returning Gen 2 characters of Genealogy have set in stone parents, despite these characters being customizable.

* ClassChangeLevelReset: Compared to the previous game, placed in the same setting such as this, this one follows the more traditional Promotion/Class Change system the series is akin to, as in the previous one, any character could Promote only if level 20 was reached, only inside the "main castle" among the ones available on the map, and their level wasn't reset but stayed the same (this has been reverted mostly to balance out a particular skill, which is called "Great Shield", negating all upcoming damage, which happens to be Reached-Level % activated, and as FE4 allowed a maximum Level of 30...)

* CriticalHit: It works differently than the other games in the series (minus FE4 which shares the same mechanic as here): critical hits here deals straightly double the damage shown into the fighting window (which means that 20 attack vs 20 defense = 20 damage because 20x2= 40, instead of 0x3= 0 because 20-20=0)

* ColourCodedArmies: First and only game in the longlasting series where there are neutral units that WILL act as an army against you themselves

* UnblockableAttack: "Luna Skill" allows any unit that possess it to have a top 20% (25% if wielding a skill boosting weapon) chance to not miss the attack and deplete the enemy of all defense (either magical or physical) for that one attack; same concept applied for "Solar Skill", but instead of neglecting the enemy it's defense, the amount of damage inflicted will be absorbed by the attacker.

It is an {{interquel}} for ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar'', taking place toward the end of its 15 year TimeSkip. It follows Leif - nephew of Sigurd and cousin of Seliph - as he tries to retake his country and fight back against the Grannvale Empire.

* SupportPower: Authority stars are these, as each one of the authority star attributed to one of the various factions on gamemap will allow each unit of such faction to receive an additional 3% bonus on hit and avoid
* TakenForGranite: The BigBad's modus operandi. [[spoiler: Eyvel]] gets hit with it early on. You can get [[spoiler: her]] back in a sidequest chapter later on, if you meet certain requirements.

''Thracia 776'' is followed by ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade'', which takes place on the continent of Elibe in a new continuity.

It's both more like a normal ''VideoGame/FireEmblem'' game than its predecessor and quite different to most others -- it returns to normal-sized chapters and maps, but it implements a few new gameplay mechanics like the FogOfWar and the completely-forgotten fatigue meter. It's also notoriously NintendoHard, even by the standards of the franchise as a whole.

Followed by ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade'', which takes place on the continent of Elibe in a new continuity.

* ScrappyMechanic: Big Shield blocking all damage (Level % based) and Capturing an enemy is somewhat a scrappy mechanic itself (all stats minus luck, Hp and build are halved during the process of capturing an enemy)
