'''Chapters''' in the {{FES}} generally refer to the individual levels of a game, usually consisting of a single map during which the story progresses at the start of the battle, and upon its completion. Each chapter is assigned a number and title, with the usual exception of the first and final chapters of the game, which are instead designated "Prologue" and "Endgame", respectively, in place of chapter numbers. Players travel through a game's chapters in numerical order; however, occasionally a player will be presented with an [[alternate route]], in which the story and gameplay briefly diverges based on certain conditions, or a [[sidequest]], an optional additional chapter which is typically unlocked by fulfilling certain conditions in the previous chapter, such as ensuring the survival of certain [[NPC]]s. Equivalent chapters of alternate routes are assigned the same number, while sidequest chapters in most games are assigned the same number as the preceding chapter, albeit with an "x" prepended; in {{title|Awakening}} and {{title|Fates}}, sidequests instead follow their own numbering schemes independent of the chapters of the main story.

In ''Awakening'' and later games, sidequests are labeled as "Paralogues", and may be completed in any order the player chooses after they become available. Like in ''Gaiden'' and ''The Sacred Stones'', a world map is featured, from which the player may choose to proceed to the next available chapter, complete a paralogue, fight a [[skirmish]], or purchase items. ''Awakening'' also introduces [[Downloadable content in Fire Emblem Awakening|downloadable content chapters]] to the series; like paralogues, these may be played at any time after the player has purchased them, by visiting the [[Outrealm Gate]]. DLC chapters do not follow any numbering scheme.

''Fates'' features three sets of branching routes – ''Birthright'', ''Conquest'', and ''Revelation'' – which split off from each other at the end of [[Mother|Chapter 5]]. Each consists of completely different chapters, and these routes never converge or overlap at any point.

Unlike most games in the series (but similarly to ''Gaiden''), ''Shadows of Valentia'' only features a short prologue, consisting of one battle, and six chapters, each consisting of several maps which the player may challenge at their leisure via the [[world map]]. Unlike other games in the series, chapters are instead known as "Acts", presumably to differentiate them from the more conventionally-structured chapters of other games.

{{Main|List of chapters in Fire Emblem: Three Houses{{!}}List of chapters in ''Fire Emblem: Three Houses''}}
Three houses has two parts. The first 12 chapters share the same chapters with only slight changes. Part 2 is anywhere from 6 chapters long to 10 chapters long. The chapters change in part 2 based on which house is picked in part 1 and certain choices made when in the Black Eagle House. In between chapters, the main player can decide to lecture, skip, rest, explore, or battle on free days. Typically there is 2 to 4 free days a month. When picking battle, there are paralogues like in previous games and also skirmish like battles. Sometimes quests found while exploring can point a player to a unique skirmish with extra rewards.

''Engage'' features twenty-seven chapters (including the Prologue) and fifteen paralogues; the [[Downloadable content in Fire Emblem Engage|DLC]] adds six paralogues (termed "Divine Paralogues") and a six-chapter-long side-story named the "Fell Xenologue". With two exceptions, paralogues focus on the various [[Emblem Ring]]s, and completing them unlocks additional abilities for the Emblems.
