His quest leads him to recovering Falchion, a magical sword which can defeat Medeus and which only Marth can wield due to his aboriginal heritage equally a descendant of Anri, the warrior who defeated Medeus. Having recovered both Falchion and the magical Fire Emblem shield, Marth confronts Gharnef and Medeus, the latter of whom is leader of the terminal surviving tribe of Manakete, an ancient tribe which could shapeshift into dragons. In the end, Marth defeats Medeus and restores peace, surrendering the Fire Emblem to Archanea for safekeeping. Hardin marries Nyna and becomes the king of Archanea.

"Book 2" takes identify two years after Book 1. Hardin begins the forceful military occupation of neighboring countries, with Marth'southward army existence used every bit role of the conquests. When Marth grows suspicious of his function in Hardin's plans, he is branded as a traitor to Archanea and is relentlessly hunted downward by Hardin's forces. Receiving the Fire Emblem from Nyna past mode of a courier, Marth and his army escapes to the desert of Khadein and meets with Gotoh. He explains that Hardin has go possessed past the evil power of the Darksphere, which Gharnef secretly gave to him, and that but the Lightsphere can counter its power and salve Hardin. Marth is as well tasked with locating three other magical spheres in his quest: the Lifesphere, the Geosphere, and the Starsphere (the latter of which must exist reassembled through the collection of Starshards). Marth and his allies journeying through the icy mountains to obtain the Lightsphere, then stage a terminal attack on Archanea to liberate the continent from Hardin's madness. Though the Lightsphere nullifies the Darksphere's power, Hardin is critically wounded in his boxing and can merely apologize to Marth for his deportment earlier he dies. If the player has not collected the five spheres, the game ends prematurely at this point; Marth is duped into believing Gharnef has been defeated, and soon has to fight another war against Medeus. If the player did collect the spheres, Marth inserts all five into the Fire Keepsake and unlocks its full ability as the Bounden Shield.

Gotoh then arrives to inform Marth that Gharnef has kidnapped several female clerics, including Princess Nyna and his own sis Elice, to serve as sacrifices for the revival of Medeus.

Keisuke Terasaki acted as director, while Gunpei Yokoi returned as producer.[9] [x] The characters were designed by Katsuyoshi Koya, who would go along to work on Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War.[11] The music was composed by Yuka Tsujiyoko, who worked on the soundtrack with sound designer Masaya Kuzume.[9] [11] [12] She would later refer to the game every bit her favorite title out of the Fire Emblem games she had worked on.[xiii]

Due to the increased hardware capabilities, the team were able to increase both the content and graphical quality. With the aim of encouraging new players to buy the game, the overall difficulty was reduced compared to previous entries.[9] Subsequently the unconventional gameplay of Gaiden, Mystery of the Emblem returned to the traditional gameplay used for Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Calorie-free, in addition to continuing the story of Marth after focusing on unlike characters for Gaiden.[8] [14] Mystery of the Keepsake was initially only going to include original story content, but later on consideration, it was decided to include an upgraded version of Shadow Dragon and the Bract of Light for those who had not played the original.[fifteen] Another proposed plan was to dissever the release into two parts: a remake of Shadow Dragon and the Bract of Light and Mystery of the Keepsake. Due to space limitations, some characters featured in the original version of Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light needed to be cutting. The romance between Marth and Caeda was introduced as a refined version of a similar plot featured in Gaiden.[nine] Every bit with previous games set in Archanea, the series' titular Fire Emblem took the form of a shield inset with 5 magical gems.[16] According to Kaga, Mystery of the Emblem was intended as the last major championship to be ready on the continent of Archanea.[ix] However, Archenea afterward provided the setting for Burn down Emblem Enkindling.[17] [18] Released overseas in 2013, Awakening is set over a thousand years after the events of Shadow Dragon and the Bract of Light.[17] [nineteen]

Mystery of the Emblem was released for the Super Famicom on January 21, 1994.[20] It was the first Fire Emblem championship for the system, and the start to utilise a 24-megabit cartridge.[21] It would later on receive multiple releases on Nintendo's digital Virtual Panel platform: the version for the Wii released on December 26, 2006;[22] the version for the Wii U on April 27, 2014;[23] and the version for the Nintendo 3DS on June 22, 2016.[24] Like other early Fire Emblem titles, it did non receive a Western release, though a full fan translation was released in 2008.[4] [viii]

While he enjoyed the gameplay, he noted that information technology felt like a precursor to the more refined and expanded mechanics of later titles in the series, despite praising the dismounting mechanic. The graphics he establish unimpressive for the platform, while he found the audio a mixed effect with a lack of tunes in the showtime one-half and more variety and strength for the 2d half. He finished that the game was worth seeking out for series and genre fans, but that the linguistic communication barrier and advances of subsequent Fire Keepsake titles made it less appealing.[5]

Nintendo Life 's Gonçalo Lopes praised the full general narrative, technical improvements and overall gameplay. He generally called it 1 of the best entries for the system and the series equally a whole.[4] In a retrospective on the game for its 20th anniversary, Dengeki Online called information technology both one of the best entries in the serial, the genre and the system.[6] Destructoid later ranked Mystery of the Emblem amidst the five best titles in the Fire Emblem serial.[28]
