In terms of a remake, this is an especially excellent game, though that's a given considering its original is an 8-bit NES game that had major flaws. But they not only improved it massively, but added plenty of content.
With an especially colorful cast of characters in every way from voice, design, and personality that also extends to its protagonists, side characters, and villains (Especially a certain villainous heir with a great voice performance)
this game will absolutely make you feel invested with these characters instead of seeing them as just a bunch of numbers.
The gameplay is also very unique, not hesitating to recreate the "Black Sheep Game" feel of the original game. Though some elements still remain flawed such as the enemy cantor class remaining unbalanced and annoying, along with the map designs remaining a lot to be desired. They don't break the game at all, along with this game's unique dungeon exploration segments being interesting.
However, the main appeal of most Fire Emblem games are their replayability, but this is a game that can really be experienced in one way. But it's an enjoyable time nonetheless.
And the soundtrack is just absolutely gorgeous such as "What Lies at the End", "Heritors of Arcadia", and "A Song of Bygone Days" being just a few hits in an amazing list of tracks in this game.
