When Diarmuid managed to dodge 5 of the dead lords and killed two of them in retaliation that was when I knew that this game was something special. Straight up this is the best snes game along with the next fire emblem game and I am tired of these games getting ignored because NOA doesn't know how to translate games. I guess all that gatcha money from FEH means nothing. I will scream when the remake gets announced.

One of my favorite games of all time, yet I am stuck between wanting a remake because there's no legal way for me to play the game and understand what's being said, and not wanting a remake because just about every decision this game made from story to gameplay was very risky and would likely be sanitized for broader appeal
This game is the game that taught me that mounted units are best. The shear difference in usefulness between mounted and unmounted units is hilarious. This game has the best soundtrack as well.
