Unused content in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade
Numerous pieces of unused content have been found within the game data of Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade.
Text
Trial map text
There are a series of text strings which appear to be for the menu of a scrapped Trial Map mode. The text suggests that, unlike the Binding Blade Trial Map mode, this mode would have allowed maps to be sent between copies of the game.
[OpenLeft]Shall I begin sending the[.] trial map?[Yes][X] [OpenLeft][LoadFace][0xDF][0x01] Loading. Please wait a moment.[.][X] [OpenLeft]Sending map now. Please wait a moment.[.][X] [OpenLeft]Map send complete.[X] [OpenLeft]An error has occurred.[X] [OpenLeft] There is no backup trial map. Ending map send and returning to menu.[X]
The Binding Blade data transfer leftovers
Although the localized versions of the game removed the ability to import save data from Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade to unlock extras, a complete set of text strings from this feature are still present in the localized game. This includes early and unrefined translations of the titles of every chapter in The Binding Blade (referred to as Sword of Seals).

Debug text
There are two sets of strings which are presumably leftovers from removed debug functions, since many of them line up with the functions of the two leaked prototypes. The first set is listed before the Battle History text, and the second set right after. It seems likely that the implementation of the Battle History text overwrote some debug strings.
First set

Unused names
There are several unused unit name strings.
- Igrene is listed between Uther and Dart. This was presumably meant for Igrene, a playable character from The Binding Blade.
- Santals is listed between Eubans and Nergal. This name is associated with unused unit data for Helman, and the name "Santals" is a rough translation of the name of Helman's territory, Santaruz.
- Nadine is listed between Isadora and Legault.
- Bruno is listed between Ursula and Paul.
- Bogan is listed after Brendan.
- Efta is listed after Bogan and before Denning.
- Igor is listed after Kaim. In the finished game, a character named Igor appears in a cutscene as an underling of Linus's, but he never appears as a unit.
- Alexis is listed after Igor.
- Baudouin is listed after Alexis.
Unused help descriptions
Several characters are assigned unique help text which, because they either never appear as units in gameplay or (in Natalie's case) have their stat screen specifically blocked from being viewed by the player, can not be ordinarily seen.
Miscellaneous text
These two strings are located right before the beginning of the support conversation strings.
[OpenLeft][LoadFace][0xDF][0x01] Are you finished training? [Yes][X] [OpenLeft]All right, we're done here.[.][A][X]
These strings are located before the shop text.
Success[.][X] Link Test[.][X] Point[.][X] Not Usable[X] Not Selected[X]
These strings are located at the very end of the text bank, at the end of the Sound Room song titles. These appear to be cut entries which were used to test certain songs' looping points.
Prologue to World Map[.][X] Long Silence (MIDI Data)[X] Lyn's Organ[.][X] The Inn[.][X] Fire Emblem Theme[.][X] Fire Emblem Theme Loop[X] Final Battle (Sans Intro)[.][X]
Graphics

CG illustrations
style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | There is one CG that is unused in all versions of the game. This CG was possibly intended for use during Kishuna's flashback during Chapter 32x: The Value of Life, which instead reuses the Kishuna flashback CG from Chapter 22xE/23xH: Genesis. | |
style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | This CG is unused and cannot be seen in all regions except Japan. It appears in the Japanese version as the background graphic for the data transfer feature with Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. |
Miscellaneous
style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | A set of graphics which appear to be for a proper results/rankings screen, like in The Binding Blade. In the final game, rankings are only accessible from the Battle History menu, which just uses ordinary text. Some of the text labels are slightly mistranslated ("capture" would more accurately be "tactics", "property" should be "funds", and "composite" should be "total"). |
