Was really interesting experiencing this game that is responsible for the success and continuation of this franchise, and understanding these characters who I've known for being in Smash Bros. but in an environment where people wouldn't be mad at them for existing.
And honestly this game was really fun, I was addicted to the gameplay and did a ton of un-necessary battles cause they were just that fun.
I loved how time travel has its impacts on the gameplay and meeting up with some of these characters was really cool, as I hadn't heard of that feature before.
The story is pretty engaging all things considered, even if two games in with this series I have identified some common narrative tropes they like to use.
The characters were probably the highlight for me though, shoutout to my boy Stahl for being such a real one, Lucina was obviously very interesting considering her role in the plot, and Laura Bailey does a great job to be expected.
But Chrom is easily my favorite, Matt Mercer has done great things with this character to my knowledge, and finding out that one of mains in Smash was actually a really likable and well developed character was a wonderful surprise.
