“Are Marth and Roy in this game?”
A phrase often uttered by FE newcomers on the internet following the release of Fire Emblem to western audiences, often mocked by veteran FE fans, similar to how SSB fans mock anti-tier players. Has since subsided following Ike’s SSB debut in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
“OMFGMARCUS IS AN EXPTHIEF!!!1!”
Uttered on the internet by a newcomer to FE in response to Fire Emblem character Marcus, who veteran FE players know not to use due to being the game’s obvious Jeigan archetype, but is a beginner’s trap to anyone else. (A Jeigan is often an old character obtained at the beginning of the game who is overpowered at that point of the game, but is pre-promoted and has terrible stat growths, causing him to be an experience vacuum and useless later in the game) Has often been repeated in reference to the Jeigan archetype.
