GN Version 4.0
- ideas that weren't used were a modern setting and a Mars setting
- ideas for Awakening were considered during development of the DS remake Fire Emblem: Shin Monsho no Nazo
- the team considered using world as well
- the final idea was to make a Fire Emblem game that was a compilation of all the great series ideas thus far
- character designer and illustrator Yusuke Kozaki remarked that this is the first time he's had to design so many characters for a game
- he was told that Nintendo would need 60 characters, but the devs wouldn't tell him it was a Fire Emblem game
