This was my first FE, so it's hard not to be a little biased, but I think this game has one of the best rosters of characters. It also has a stronger story than most FE games. It's on the easier side, especially if you capitalize on your newfound ability to grind. Honestly, I think that's perfectly fine. It's nowhere near as easy to break as Awakening, and I personally don't think that every FE game has to be hard as diamonds.
