==Trivia==
===Fan translation===
* ''Genealogy'' features the only classes with the ability to use almost the entire weapon/magic spectrum: the [[Master Knight]], which wields everything except dark magic, totalling the ability to wield nine weapon types, and the [[Baron]], wielding everything except light and dark magic.  No other playable class in the series ever has access to more than four weapon types; the only other class in general to exceed this number is [[Order Incarnate]], a [[Ashera|boss-exclusive]] class, with access to six.
* Along with {{title|Thracia 776}}, ''Genealogy of the Holy War'' is the only game in the series which existed as of 2008 to not be referenced at all in {{SSBB}}; every other game in the series which existed at the time has some degree of representation, whereas ''Genealogy'' and ''Thracia'' do not.
* Along with {{title|Gaiden}}, ''Genealogy'' is one of the only games in the ''Fire Emblem'' series where it is not possible for attacks to deal zero damage under ordinary circumstances. Unless the [[Pavise]] skill blocks an attack, every attack that successfully connects with its target will deal an absolute minimum of 1 hit point of damage, even if the target's defensive stat is much higher than the attacker's offense.

''Genealogy of the Holy War'' was the first ''Fire Emblem'' game to receive an unofficial translation patch, with a subset of noted defunct fan translation group ''j2e'' working on the game between 2000 and 2002. The group ultimately disappeared and left the patch unfinished, in a state that was "not to be enjoyed"; through the following decade, ''Twilkitri'' and other contributors picked up where ''j2e'' left off and continued to work on the patch, although both the programming and parts of the script remain incomplete. Several [[wikipedia:Fork (software development)|forks]] of ''Twilkitri''{{'}}s work have arisen over the years with various aims and additions.

In 2016, on the 20th anniversary of the original release of ''Genealogy of the Holy War'', the first complete translation patch for the game was released as a public beta. This patch, known as the "Project Naga" translation, features a total retranslation of the script including the previously unfinished epilogue, a new, slimmer font which allows for much more text to fit into the windows, and also fixes numerous glitches from the original game. It is currently completely playable, but as a beta, it still has various technical errors which are currently being identified and corrected through feedback from players.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=21199.0|title=Fire Emblem 4: Genealogy of the Holy War Re-translation (Project Naga)|author=ddstranslation|site=Romhacking.net|published=2016-05-14|accessdate=2016-05-17}}</ref>
