For reasons unknown, [[Eirika]] is the subject of an unusual forced promotion event. If a player enters a chapter of the game through the startup menu, then completes that chapter and moves on to the next one, there will be an exchange between Eirika and [[Seth]] where they repeat the same message several times (pictured) before moving into the sequence to promote Eirika. | For reasons unknown, [[Eirika]] is the subject of an unusual forced promotion event.

The exchange is in the same style as the brief piece of dialogue which [[Ross]], [[Amelia]] and [[Ewan]] have in the final game when promoting from their base classes, and is similarly forced at the beginning of a chapter before being able to do anything else; it is possible that this was a test of that same protocol.

The message repeated by Eirika and Seth is "FE3{{hover|ダミー|damī}}MSG", which translates to "FE3 dummy message". Much as it implies, it is a dummy text string likely used to test dialogue boxes like this and appears in a few other places in the prototype. Here, "FE3" is presumably in reference to how ''The Sacred Stones'' is the third [[Game Boy Advance]] ''Fire Emblem'' title, and not in reference to {{FE3}}, the actual overall third ''Fire Emblem'' game. | ||
In addition to being forced under these circumstances, the same thing is also set to happen at the beginning of [[Two Faces of Evil|Chapter 17]], regardless of whether the player completed a chapter beforehand. | In addition to being forced under these circumstances, the same thing is also set to happen at the beginning of [[Two Faces of Evil|Chapter 17]], regardless of whether the player completed a chapter beforehand. |
