A World Map is a mechanic that was first introduced in Fire Emblem Gaiden.
Overview[]
Several Fire Emblem games are linear in progression, moving player between chapters and extra chapters in a fixed order. This was the story sequencing of battles in the first game of the franchise and numerous others since. Fire Emblem Gaiden was the first to offer a traversable map, allowing players to select battles at their leisure and even travel to previous locations or extra locations, albeit limited in its original incarnation. In its appearances since Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, World Maps offer repeatable, optional battles for the player to initiate in order to provide additional Battle Experience and valuable resources like Dropped Items and Gold.
