Fire Emblem (Japanese: ファイアーエムブレム, Faiā Emuburemu) is a tactical role-playing video game franchise developed by Nintendo's Intelligent Systems division and published by Nintendo. First produced and published for the Famicom, the series currently consists of sixteen games, including remakes, across multiple game systems. Described by its creators as an "RPG simulation", the gameplay revolves around tactical movement of characters across grid-based environments, while incorporating a story and characters similar to those in a more traditional role-playing video game. A noted aspect of gameplay is the permanent death of characters in battle, removing them from the rest of the game should they be defeated. The series title refers to a recurring object, often portrayed as a weapon or shield, representing the power of war and dragons, a recurring element in the series.

Development of the first game began as a dōjin project by Shouzou Kaga and three other developers. Its success prompted the development of further titles in the series. Kaga headed each one until the release of the fifth game in the series, Thracia 776, when he left the company and founded his own game studio. The first entry in the series to be released in the West was The Blazing Blade, released in 2003 under the title Fire Emblem. Many games in the series have sold well, despite a decline during the 2000s which resulted in the series' near-cancellation. Individual entries have generally been praised, and the series as a whole has been praised for its gameplay, and it is cited as the origin of the tactical role-playing genre. Characters from multiple games have also been included in crossovers with other franchises.

Notable features:

  • Dragons. They are typically portrayed as Western in form, but feature elements from Eastern dragons in their lore. Dragons are typically portrayed as the gods of the setting and often feature prominently in the games' plots.
  • Voluntary shapeshifting. The franchise created the manakete, laguz, and taguel species, with one game adding kitsune and werewolf characters as well. These species present as humanoids with various animal features by default, but can use magic to transform into powerful feral forms.
  • Genocide against the aforementioned species.
  • Many loli characters, most of them manaketes who assure you it's okay to marry them because they're really 1000 years old.
  • Oodles of incest, usually adoptive but sometimes not.
  • A "support" system that gives certain characters statistical bonuses if they get to know one another in optional scenes. In some games, these scenes can culminate in a romance and even the conception of a child.
