History YMMV / FireEmblemThracia776

** * '''PUGIPUGIPUGIPUGIPUGI''' etc.[[labelnote: Explanation]] The Pugi is an overpowered weapon obtained in chapter one of Thracia 776, and the fandom loves it, with the phrase in question meant to hype the hell out of it.[[/labelnote]]

* AntiClimaxBoss: The final boss is widely considered to be the most ''pathetic'' final boss ever. Most other final bosses can be one-shotted because the character (Often the main character or someone with a special weapon, i.e. Julia in ''Genealogy'' and Tiki or Nagi in ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemAkaneia Shadow Dragon]]'') has a weapon that almost doubles the damage done to them and bypasses defense entirely. Veld ([[SpellMyNameWithAnS Beldo/Berdo/Beld]]), meanwhile... is practically just an Upgraded {{Mook}}. You can literally take him out without even ''using'' a special weapon or having Leif lay a finger on him. It's kind of a disappointing end to a NintendoHard game.

* MemeticLoser: Glade became this when he was revealed to be the lowest ranked character in the entire series in the "Choose Your Heroes" poll of FireEmblemHeroes, with a measly 17 votes to his name. A ton of one-scene-only [=NPCs=] scored higher than him. Marty, Ronan, and Selfinas knights also tend to be mocked at times for their performance in gameplay

** The various warp and rewarp staves come as close as you can get, allowing a player to abuse InstantWinCondition to get around some of the more difficult chapters.

* TierInducedScrappy: Ronan, an archer who has poor stats in everything but speed and magic; Marty, who shares a class with the CrutchCharacter Dagda and is completely inferior to him in every meaningful way (having the lowest [[OneStatToRuleThemAll speed]] and skill stats in fire emblem history, at ''zero''); Selfina and the knights accompanying her, all of whom have poor stats in every area; and Eda, for having worse bases ''and'' worse growths than her brother, Dean.

* ThatOneSidequest: A few units are extremely difficult to recruit in ''Thracia 776'', but Xavier is legendary for this. Each of his eight men has had a loved one taken prisoner by the enemy, and as such they're forced to work for them. You can free the loved ones (who take the form of extremely squishy [[NonPlayerCharacter NPCs]]), then talk to the men to get them to turn coat. Once each of them has talked to their respective [[NonPlayerCharacter NPC]] (yes, each one can only talk to one specific [[NonPlayerCharacter NPC]]), you can recruit Xavier. Note that while his men won't attack the [[NonPlayerCharacter NPCs]], other enemies in the stage will, and those who haven't been turned and those who have ''will'' attack each other. [[note]]Surprisingly, it's not the ones who haven't turned killing the ones who have that's the problem--once they've turned, they're expendable. One of the ones who has turned killing one who hasn't, however, makes it impossible to complete the quest.[[/note]]

* TheScrappy: Cain, Alva and Robert are considered some of the most flat, unnecessary, and downright boring units in the series, with them being no better than the generic mooks you fight and being outclassed by several other alternatives. Not helping this is the fact that they literally have no interactions outside of their death quotes, meaning it's entirely possible to go through the whole game without them saying a word.

* BossInMookClothing: The most famous is the "Penta-Axe" general in Chapter 23.

* CrutchCharacter:
** Eyvel is probably the best example of this in the series. Yeah, Jagen and Marcus in VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe 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 Bryton. 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. Bryton 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.

Each of his eight men has had a loved one taken prisoner by the enemy, and as such they're forced to work for them.

Once each of them has talked to their respective [[NonPlayerCharacter NPC]] (yes, each one can only talk to one specific [[NonPlayerCharacter NPC]]), you can recruit Xavier. Note that while his men won't attack the [[NonPlayerCharacter NPCs]], other enemies in the stage will, and any who haven't been turned ''will'' attack those who have.

* Giving Sara the "Sol" scoll makes her a second Ilios, improving her already very high combat quotient to a peek

* GameBreaker: The various warp and rewarp staves come as close as you can get, allowing a player to abuse InstantWinCondition to get around some of the more difficult chapters.

** Dismounting. Knights specializing only in Lances spontaneously losing their ability to use their WeaponOfChoice and being forced to use Swords when they get off a horse is completely illogical. This also turns makes all of the Lances acquired VendorTrash in the later chapters.
** Thracia 776 doesn't allow players to reposition their units before entering battle. The order in which they're deployed is based on their position in the unit selection screen and units selected for one chapter appear the top of the selection screen for the next chapter.

* ContestedSequel: Fans are rather divided over whether it's an interestingly designed and brutally challenging entry in the series, or an unfair, unplayable mess with horrible mechanics.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Quite a few sadly. As of now this game's cast are some of the least developed characters in the series, and there are quite a few characters who had plenty of potential. A select few such as Lifis or Mareeta do get their time in the sun, but overall the cast is very flat, and the rsults on the "Choose Your Heroes" poll reflect this, with it being just behind ''Gaiden'' in terms of votes.

* MemeticLoser: Glade from ''Thracia 776'' became this when he was revealed to be the lowest ranked character in the entire series in the "Choose Your Heroes" poll of FireEmblemHeroes, with a measly 17 votes to his name. A ton of one-scene-only [=NPCs=] scored higher than him. Marty, Ronan, and Selfinas knights also tend to be mocked at times for their performance in gameplay

* MemeticBadass: Orsin, since he wields the '''[[GameBreaker Pugi]]'''

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Though the fandom is pretty small, fans either hate Marty due to being a TierInducedScrappy, amd the little characterization he's given to be a timid coward who easily caves into peer pressure. Others feel he's a LovableCoward with a gameplay purpose as a packmule, and like his implied relationship with Dagdar.

** 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)
