Is Marth from fire emblem Japanese?

Answer 1

Game-wise, yes, Marth was the character who started the series in Japan. His first two games Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light and Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, which were played on the NES and SNES respectively, were never released outside of Japan, but he later received Nintendo DS remakes of both of those games, although only the first remake had an international release.

Character-wise, Marth is more closely related to a medieval European culture and will most likely find Japanese culture as something foreign to him, as his later descendants (in Fire Emblem: Awakening) did not recognize a traditional Japanese-style clothing that a certain "foreign" character (Say'ri), who was more closely related to the traditional Japanese culture, was wearing. Thus, Marth could be speaking Japanese but not actually be Japanese; it's not entirely known.
