My favourite cast, story and protagonist in videogame history. Usually Fire Emblem protagonists are good but not great for me, but Ike is a top 5 character of all time easily. If this ever gets remade however, the only thing that needs to change is add in Radiant Dawn gameplay/mechanics like the much improved bonus exp from RD, Knives as a fleshed out weapon type, detailed combat information during enemy phase and staves as equipment (but let them hit using magic!) and add in Laguz weapon rank (but keep their exp gain as it is now, thats one element RD kind of missed the mark on bc most laguz in that game get like 1xp per round of combat lol). Additionally, they should add the ability to skip animations completely like in Radiant Dawn, because if I had to point out one flaw in this game is that enemy phase can be pretty slow even with animations off. Otherwise this is a 10/10 through and through, and I cannot believe I enjoy it's sequel even better.
