'''Secret shops''' (Japanese: {{ | '''Secret shops''' (Japanese: {{hl|秘密の店|Himitsu no mise}} ''secret shop'') are a rare type of shop which specialize in selling rare and expensive weapons and items, appearing in eight of the thirteen games of the {{FES}}. Secret shops are typically the only place in a game where the player will find rare items like stat-boosters or [[class change]] items being freely sold, and are the only alternative to relying on receiving them from villages or [[Chest|treasure chests]]. | ||
