The eighth game in the Fire Emblem series, the third release for the Game Boy Advance, and the second to be released outside of Japan. This game stars the royal twins of Renais, Eirika and Ephraim, as they try to find out why neighbouring kingdom Grado attacked their land and investigate into rumours of the Demon King being revived.

Sacred Stones brings back many features last seen in Fire Emblem Gaiden, such as a world map the protagonists navigate before battles and freely repeatable skirmishes that allow the player to grind up strength if they are struggling. It also introduces split promotions, allowing a unit to take an alternative route for their growth.

Fire Emblem: Storge is a relatively short hack with the premise that all recruitment (which is done by hiring mercenaries) and buying of weapons and items is done at the very start, and then the player must play through the rest of the game with those choices.

The story centers on the merchant Becker, who is on a trip from Fussell to Barnett, ostensibly to sell a shipment of Vikarian emeralds, but in truth, he is looking for his estranged daughter Gretchen, who is working there as a mercenary. Join the two as they venture forth, as a plot to seize power is poised to upend their simple trip…
