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.

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ダミー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.
