listen, I hear the story is real good, but the gameplay bored me too much to want to continue with it. as of writing this the slowest FE game I've played

I love almost everything about this game. The story, the characters, the music, the art, and the voice acting are all phenomenal and some of the best in the franchise from what I've played. However, the maps aren't greatly designed and gets repetitive towards the end. But in the end, I still like this game.

greatest two path game ever and im dead serious, everything from the gameplay to story to score to art style is peak

Despite being based on a mediocre game, Echoes stands apart by being actually good. Some of the best presentation in any game I've ever seen, only held back by forcing itself to be too similar to the game it is based off of.

Art direction and ost is my fav in the series so far but gameplay and map design make it so hard for the game overall to be a fav.

this game reminded me that i like men.

definitely the best of any fe i've played (which isn't that many, but still). story was great, if a bit predictable, and the gameplay was fun. slightly dated, as this is a remake of an old ass game, but fun regardless. i also loved the characters, it's not often that characters who do basically nothing end up among my favorites and this game has a ton, zeke, tatania, and delthea (mostly cause she got REALLY FUCKING STRONG by the end) especially.
