I've been a known Fire Emblem hater, but was willing to give it a try once it hit NSO. Ended up having a great time with this wacky little game. The story is kind of whatever, there's just a generic bad guy who never really changes, but it is surprisingly dark and I liked the fantasy politics of it all.
Lyn's opening quest offered a sufficient tutorial, but for how blatant it was, still obscured certain mechanics like rescue ferrying, support convos in general, etc.
Glad I got an opportunity to enjoy the series before it went terminally anime. What a treat!
