My first FE title, a friend of mine happened to have the cartridge and I had been wanting to try out this game a few months ago.
Ignoring the obvious issues with the writing (also, I wish we had more normal F!Corrin outfits because it was disappointing), it was fun to play a whole new battle mechanic (I have never played any game similar to this) and if you happened to love a character (RHAJAT <3 MY WIFE) you would enjoy the game way way more.
Some characters were a bit disappointing due to their writing, others seemed to fall back on weird stereotypes, but a few had a lot of potential. Some of my favorites: Rhajat, Jakob, Oboro, Rinkah, Hana and Reyna (plus some others)
Going back to the gameplay, I look forward to playing more FE titles as I actually didn't suck so bad in battles. I believed I wouldn't enjoy the battles/I would be awful at them but I was surprised in a good way. There were some features I didn't use a lot due to indifference (for example, having kids, fighting/defending your castle... I just had no interest, in total I only had 2 hetero couples and fought in 2 invasions)
I don't think I would recommend this as someone's first entry to the FE series, but it was my personal choice and I enjoyed mine quite a bit; it's not the best game ever neither was it outstanding, but I had a fun time. If you want a good story you'd be disappointed in this one, though
