This was my introduction to the Fire Emblem series and SRPGs and I can say this was such an enjoyable time for me. I'm always cautious of games that try to manage a lot of characters and although this game is by no means an exception to that as some characters are far less interesting than others, there are more positives than negatives in that regard. The amazing story and my time with the students customizing classes and testing different party strategies far outweigh the fairly repetitive map designs and by the end of every story, the flaws never really bothered me or impacted my experience in any way.
