Book 2 is the meat of the game and a sequel to the original, featuring characters returning from the original as well as new cast additions. Book 1 is an abridged retelling and remake of Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light. The game is divided into two parts colloquially known as books. Most of these elements vanished with the release of Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, though many elements have made their way back in recent titles like Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, Fire Emblem Awakening, and Fire Emblem Fates.Ī direct sequel to the first game, Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, was released on the Super Famicom on January 21, 1994. It introduced several new gameplay changes, including a " Trainee" type class, use of a world map, and monster enemies. Some characters from Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light appear but the majority of the cast is new. As its name suggests, it is a side story to the original, being set in the same universe but on a different continent.
