Battle save (Japanese: セーブポイント Save point) is a mechanic that allow to make a save during the current chapter in contrast to a traditional save made at the end of a chapter or during preparations.
The feature began in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, where the player is allowed to make a Battle Save at the start of every new turn. This is a helpful mechanic due to chapters in the game being rather long. Following Genealogy of the Holy War, the Battle Save feature did not return until the Western versions of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. Since then, it has appeared in every main Fire Emblem games.
