Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade

Mm-hmm.

And so it was, it was a series like, you know, not to toot my own horn, my first Fire Emblem was on the GBA, Binding Blade.

Ooh.

But that was the-

We're nearing the end here.

In an odd twist of fate, unbeknownst to the party at the time, in one of the later chapters of the campaign, Battle Before Dawn, you are tasked with protecting a specific unit who will later become the villain in Roy's campaign in Fire Emblem The Binding Blade.

What character is this? Is it Eric? Is it Nils? Is it Guinevere? Or is it Zephiel?

Zephiel sounds evil, so I'll do Zephiel.

so we got the Blazing Blade which was the second one on the Game Boy Advance and that came out in November of 2003 for us Um, it was successful enough that in the following years, we then got the sacred stones, uh, which featured two protagonists.

The GameCube and the Wii version were sequels.

Yeah.

Then there was Binding Blade and Blazing Blade.

Binding Blade is apparently still not available in North America.

Not something we had taken into consideration as we are determining which of these is the best subtitle.

Okay, up next in 2002 is Fire Emblem The Binding Blade.

Yes, and this is the first Game Boy Advance one, not the one that came to the West, but is still never been localized.

The Binding Blade.

There's something very...

I mean, first of all, we're in alliteration territory, which we will be for a couple games here.

Just for its relationship to 1776.

All right.
