It is a remake of Book 2 of {{title|Mystery of the Emblem}}, the third ''Fire Emblem'' game to have been made, and currently the only title released after {{FE7}} to not get an international release. | |||

One year after the [[War of Shadows]] between the [[Archanea (continent)|Archanea]]n League, led by Prince [[Marth]] of [[Altea]], and the [[Dolhr]] Empire led by the Shadow Dragon [[Medeus]], an imperial edict from [[Hardin]], recently crowned Emperor of Archanea, arrives at Altea Castle, ordering Marth to lead his army to [[Grust]] to subdue a rebellion occurring there. Although Marth has his doubts about this order, he is forced to comply with the orders of his suzerain nation, and leaves for Grust. | |||

It also features a mechanic in the [[preparations]] menu named [[Everyone's Conditions]], where temporary stat boosts, experience points, and random items can be obtained after a certain amount of time. This would later be iterated upon in future titles, an example being the [[Barracks]] in {{FE13}}. | ||

==Development== | |||
The game was originally going to be released around the same time ''[[Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon]]'' was going to be released. As a result, development began alongside it. However, after approaching Nintendo over this idea during development, it was ultimately decided it would be best to just release the first game instead as a standalone entry, as this would make the entry far more accessible to newer players.<ref>{{cite web|quote={{lang|ja|'''岩田'''<br>ちなみに今作の『新・紋章の謎』は、どういうキッカケで、どのようにはじまったんですか？<br>'''成広'''<br>実は、前作の『新・暗黒竜』をつくりながら、今回の『新・紋章の謎』の制作の準備も進めていたんです。というのも、元になったスーパーファミコン版の『紋章の謎』には、前半が『暗黒竜』で、後半が『紋章の謎』と２本分のソフトが入っていたんです。そこで、ぜひとも後半部分のお話もお客さんに遊んでいただきたいという想いがありましたので、リメイクしてすぐに出すつもりだったんです。でも、そのままのかたちで出すのは難しいという結論になりました。<br>'''前田'''<br>というのは、物語的には『紋章の謎』の後半部分の話ですので、前作を遊んでいない人には「関係ない」と思われてしまう可能性があったからなんです。しかも、それだけでも敷居が高いのに、『エムブレム』のことを知らない新しい人にも、遊んでいただけるような仕組みができていない状態で、後半部分の話だけをパッケージで出すのは適切ではないだろうということが理由でした。<br>'''岩田'''<br>そこから、どのように打開策を見いだしたんですか？<br>'''前田'''<br>単純なリメイクにするのではなく、まったく新しい『エムブレム』をつくることにしました。もちろん、ベースにするのは『紋章の謎』ですが、それは土台にすぎなくて、そのうえにこれまでにない、新しいものを乗せようという取り組みです。そこで、新しい面白さを入れるために、任天堂さんと協議をしながら、開発を進めることになりました。}}|published= July 2010|retrieved= June 12, 2023 |url= https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/vi2j/vol1/index3.html| title={{lang|ja|● 社長が訊く 『ファイアーエムブレム 新・紋章の謎~光と影の英雄~』}}|site= https://www.nintendo.co.jp}}</ref> As a result of this, the staff also decided to use a different system than the one previously used for ''Shadow Dragon'', restarting development from scratch to base the game more off of the original ''Mystery of the Emblem''. | |||
Many elements were added in the game that weren't present in ''Mystery of the Emblem'', such as [[support|support conversations]], a [[avatar|customizable character]], and a "Casual Mode"; the latter was heavily debated between Nintendo and Intelligent Systems, but positive feedback from playtesting allowed the decision to stand. The amount of new content was abundant in the game, so much that Intelligent Systems considered splitting the game into two separate titles. | |||
The game was announced by Nintendo in May 2010 as part of Fire Emblem's 20th anniversary celebration, and was subsequently released only in Japan on July 15, 2010. | |||
