This codename is actually a pun: the abbreviation for ''Fire Emblem'', "FE", is also the chemical symbol for the metal iron. It also incorporates the short-lived altered series count which counts {{FEBS}} as a full game and thus places ''Awakening'' as the fourteenth game. | * ''Awakening'' itself is, in certain places such as the sound files, internally referred to as "14Iron".

| Unlike past sprite-based ''Fire Emblem'' games, which have a single set of map sprites which are recolored as needed for use in gameplay, ''Awakening'' actually has its map sprites internally already recolored separately into the three allegience colors. As such, map sprites only ever seen belonging to enemies all have unused playable and NPC palettes; this applies to the [[Risen]] variant map sprites and to [[Excellus]], one of only two non-playable characters to have non-generic map sprites. However, this does not apply to [[Validar]], the other non-playable unit with unique map sprites, as his sprites do not conform to the standard color-coding; instead of having three different palettes for the three allegiences, he instead has the same unique coloring repeated three times with no changes. | |||

| This recolored version of [[Gangrel]]'s confession graphic appears twice in the ROM's data. It has been theorized to be a placeholder for [[Morgan|the two Morgans]], who obviously lack these graphics in the finished game, in order to prevent potential game crashes. | |||

It is worth noting that in {{FE2}}, [[Alm]]'s journey through [[Valentia]] (which later became Valm) took him to a sluice gate (water gate in Japanese), and it is possible that this location was intended to be this same location, similarly to how [[A Man for Flowers|Paralogue 6]] revisits the Duma Gate location from ''Gaiden''. | |||
