This is that one 2 out of 10 that I am ride or die for just because of the circumstances of when I played.
A couple years ago, me and a friend streamed this game on Twitch and I had accidentally forgot to get the translated rom but I decided to roll with it anyway because I thought it was funnier. The entire game was me playing and my friend frantically trying to translate and walk me through whatever freaky FE1 shit was happening. Neither of us knew Japanese so every time we got a new character we just made up the name on the spot which led to lots of hilarity. We never used save states and we rolled with the permadeath which really allowed the game to shine whenever a character would die and suddenly we had lost "Eminem our best mage."
I will never forget when one time on some random map my army suddenly got jumped by near infinite ambush reinforcements and my only option was to run some random mage who I had named Fumo all the way over to Marth and emergency warp staff (which had unlimited range in FE1) him to the capture point and just barely making it out before even more of my army died. I was also raided by a friend who is a much bigger streamer so for like 2 minutes I was the #1 Fire Emblem streamer on Twitch which is kinda chill. Probably one of my favorite gaming experiences in my entire life and I couldn't read a single thing.
