No, this isn't about reincarnation or her true gender or anything like that.

Apparently, when Nagi is recruited in FE12, she has some recollection of encountering Marth, or at least finds him familiar. He doesn't remember her, because in the "canon" timeline wherein Tiki was recruited and Gharnef got whacked, there wasn't any trip into unseen dimensions to encounter undead dragon ladies.

Nagi can also sense something "special" about MyUnit, btw. In the Oops-the-Fourth-Wall-Just-Broke kind of sense.

So, given Nagi's pretty much God, how's this work? Does undead amnesiac dragon god lady have access to memories of alternate timelines? Do I have to get into string theory to explain this one (please no)?

[I don't think Nagi/Narga is looking at Marth and remembering, say, Celice either. Narga was really hands-off about dealing with the Jugdral humans. She (yes, SHE) blood-bonded with Saint Heim and hightailed it back home, from the sound of things.]

You've got me, man. Suggestions welcome.

I don't think she means how he looks, I think she's talking about "Marth" in the sense of his life essence or whatever. Remember the line in FE11 about souls calling out?

Which makes me like the Anri explanation even less.

Well that makes things slightly more disturbing if he and Anri share the same "life essence" or whatever.

Maybe part of Anri's will was stored in Falchion?

I don't think Anri had anything to do with it. I think the developers were being cute and set up a time paradox in the process. Nagi and Marth met previously. He doesn't remember it, she can't remember much of anything anyway, and the timeline as everyone knows it doesn't allow for it.

Maybe the floor plan of 24X is indeed a TARDIS and Nagi's a Time Lord.

Dammit, Mark, now I want a Doctor Who/Fire Emblem crossover.
