Fire Emblem: Thracia 776: Difference between revisions

''Thracia 776'' is a [[wikipedia:Midquel|midquel]] to its predecessor, {{FE4}}, set entirely in [[Jugdral]]'s [[Thracia]]n Peninsula during the year [[Timeline of Archanea, Valentia and Jugdral|Grann 776]]; this places it approximately before and during [[Heirs to the Light|Chapters 6]], [[Beyond the Desert|7]] and [[The Dracoknights of Thracia|8]] of ''Genealogy of the Holy War''.  It stars [[Leif]], a playable character in the second generation of ''Genealogy of the Holy War'', and details his revolutionary struggle against the [[Grannvale]] Empire's occupation of the [[Manster District]].  While ''Thracia 776'' fundamentally tells the same story about Leif depicted in passing in ''Genealogy of the Holy War'', there are some minor changes to the events of the prior game.

The skills system remains mostly the same as in ''Genealogy of the Holy War'', introducing no new skills; the [[Pursuit]] and [[Critical (skill)|Critical]] skills have been removed, with the functions for determining double-attacking and critical hit execution now the same as the rest of the series as opposed to depending on the presence of the skills.  ''Thracia 776'' introduced [[Skill items|a set of one-use items]] to teach a select collection of skills to any playable unit.

''Thracia 776'' was released in two forms. Its first release was for the [[wikipedia:Nintendo Power (cartridge)|Nintendo Power]] service, as a digitally distributed game which could be downloaded onto a special flash memory Super Famicom cartridge for a lower price than a full pre-written cartridge.  This initial Nintendo Power release was accompanied by the ''Thracia 776 Deluxe Pack'', a special-edition bundle containing a pre-written copy of the game, a cloth map of the Thracian Peninsula, a VHS short promotional film called ''The World of Fire Emblem'', and a set of two [[Pegasus Knight|pegasus]] and [[Wyvern Rider|wyvern]] plush toys.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://hepokoknight.web.fc2.com/goods/776dx.html|title=ファイアーエムブレム　トラキア７７６　デラックスパック|site=hepokoknight|published=2010-07-07|retrieved=2015-03-30}}</ref> It was later released the next year as a proper Super Famicom cartridge release; in this form, it is sometimes mistaken for [[wikipedia:List of last games released on video game consoles|the last official Super Famicom game release]] in Japan, although this status actually belongs to ''[[wikipedia:Metal_Slader_Glory#Director.27s_Cut|Metal Slader Glory: Director's Cut]]''.
