What is your favorite Fire Emblem, the object/symbol? *Spoilers*

[Busaiku]

Over the years and various games, we've gotten numerous interpretations of the Fire Emblem.
Originally, it was the Binding Shield, but the it was represented as things like seals/crests, stones, and a medallion.

Personally, Lehran's Medallion is my favorite. The way it affected the world around it felt most impactful, for me at least.

Is there a Fire Emblem gun yet? I haven't played all of them.

Going with Lehran's Medallion since I think it had a compelling reason to be called the fire emblem and it was one of the most integral to the plot. In comparison a bunch of the others feel like important objects or symbols within the game world that had the fire emblem name kind of forced on them. Like, what connection is their between Sothis and flames that makes calling her crest the crest of flames make any sense outside of knowing they wanted to shoehorn in a fire emblem?

its funny how little the fire emblem actually matters in the majority of games. its a macguffin if its there at all, besides the Radiance games

Chainsaw. Sword.

Lehran's Medallion because it looks cool and it's more than just a mcguffin.

Yeah, Lehran's Medallion since it's imprisoning the gods of chaos and order and all.

Wait the Yato is the Fire Emblem in Fates? Only having played Conquest I assumed it was the necklace Azura wears.

The Crest of Flames is cool too though.

You could seriously call Fire Emblem anything else and it would make sense. I'm honestly surprised Dragon is not in the title anywhere.

Yeah, it's called the seal of fire or something like that, so like the crest of flames it isn't explicitly called fire emblem but is pretty clearly meant to be that game's incarnation of the idea
