Trivia

  • Arran's name, paired with the name of Samson's, who the player must choose between in Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light/Shadow Dragon, is a possible pun on major Nintendo character Samus Aran.
  • The developers originally intended for the plot of Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light to change depending on whether the player recruited Arran or Samson, but the limitations of the Nintendo Entertainment System made this impossible. This concept later served as the basis of the split versions and storylines of Fire Emblem Fates, in which Corrin must choose to side with either the country that adopted and raised them, the alleged country of their birth, or neither, with their decision having major ramifications on the games' plot.[1]

  1. "In the first Emblem game, depending on which village you went to, you could only choose either Arran or Samson. But no matter which character you chose, the story didn't change. When I said, "Aww, I wish it would change something," my senior told me, "We can't due to limited memory capacity." [...] I remembered how futile it seemed then, and I said, "Maeda-san, wouldn't you want to play a game where you could see what would happen if you chose the other side? I want to try this!""Hitoshi Yamagami (Iwata Asks: Fire Emblem Fates)
