I really miss playing this game. I miss having townies move out when I neglected the game, I miss being able to earn a lot of Bells by catching bugs on the island during sunset, I miss time travel having consequences, and I miss all the NPCs like Gracie that aren't in New Horizons. I'm gonna miss ACNL Dream Addresses like Aika Village when the 3DS Internet shuts down next year. I suppose this game embodies nostalgia for me, which I think is the point of the series, haha.

This was my very first Fire Emblem game and I remember finishing it back in May 2016, thinking "why the hell do people like this"
On a more serious note, the characters are mostly decent and sometimes really good (I loved reading Takumi/Leo fics, especially The Noh Mask) but every single character, especially the royal families, is seriously hindered by the child-making systems.

Great gameplay mechanics (all of your choices matter!), great immersion in its world (it feels full of lively people who have their own stories going on), great characterization (important characters are not always likable, but certainly well-developed and interesting), TERRIBLE execution of ending (all of your choices matter until they suddenly don't!!)

I remember hating this game when it first came out, but I've grown pretty fond of it now that I've had time to replay it twice (the first time doing my very first Nuzlocke back in 2015 or so, the second being my current run using a Castlocke ruleset using my OCs). There are lots of flaws, of course (the lax difficulty, the unmemorable characters, the bland and wish-washy story), but there are loads of good things about this game (the Pokémon diversity, Mega Evolutions are my favorite battle gimmick, arguably the best clothing customization in the series) so I can't say I hate it too much. If you want a good story, it's much better to create them based on any Pokémon gameplay anyway.
