The first Fire Emblem game released over here in the west (I'm Canadian), the first FE game I've played, and it immediately captured my heart! The Lyn mode rubs long time fans the wrong way but for a kid getting into this series for the first time the involved tutorial is an excellent introduction! This game is THE. GAME. to introduce newcomers to this franchise. And the overall experience isn't too shabby either! There is a certain engagement to be had about this style of Fire Emblem where you are given a set amount of chapters/maps with no grinding opportunities. Your choices really matter as you are rewarded for investing in your characters, not leaning on your overpowered units too hard, managing your money and gear, and of course keeping your dudes alive. I love this game to bits, a certified classic in my eyes!
