Best game of all time fr.

The story is amazing, which has already been said by everyone and their mother by this point, but it truly is a one of a kind experience. While the twist midway through is probably the most spoiled moment in all of fire emblem, it’s still heart wrenching when you finally get to experience it for yourself. The characters are also really cool, and while a lot of them suffer from the early fire emblems focus on just a few characters, with the talk conversations and the growth gen 2 adds to gen 1 making many gems shine through, especially Arvis, Lewyn and Sigurd. The soundtrack is hands down the best in the entire series, with literally every single map theme standing out as bangers, in addition to other standouts like beloved one. A lot of people who dislike this game criticise the gameplay, and while it does have some flaws, primarily with empty stretches in the maps, the gameplay is really fun once you get a sense of what’s going on. Having played the game a few times I can say that it actually gets more fun on repeat playthroughs, when you know about the potential the various systems have to offer, in addition to how to set things up for gen 2.
Don’t play this as your first fire emblem, but don’t play it expecting it to play like all the other ones.
