Honestly, this Fire Emblem is very beautiful and its music is spectacular, but apart from that, the game is bad. There's no other way to put it. The story is very weak; it couldn't be more cliché, and the interactions between characters are too few and quite bland. Not to mention that the characters treat you like a deity, which often makes the dialogues seem strange. It's the worst FE game in a long time. I won't say more because I know this game is merely a commemorative one for FE, which is probably why it has this classic storyline reminiscent of the early FE games and a linear plot.

Finally, I understand why everyone speaks so highly of this game. It truly excels in almost every aspect compared to the first one, or at least in most. The music and graphics remain in the same style without many drastic changes, but aside from that, the game has seen various improvements over the first installment.

One of the worst parts of the first game was the excessive grinding required between chapters, which made the game incredibly tedious. This aspect was significantly improved in this game, making it much more dynamic. Another disappointment in the previous game was the lack of interaction between characters and even stories involving two or more different characters. In this game, there are more interactions, including chapters that mix two characters from the cast in a different storyline.

Continuing on the theme of characters and story, there was only one character in this game that I didn't like and thought was inferior to the others. However, even this character had a more interesting story than the weakest link in the first game. For me, this game was superior to the first one in every way because it addressed all the 'problems' I found in the first one: lack of interaction, tedious grinding, and uninteresting storylines.

It's hard to believe that from the terrible game that was Xenoblade 1 came this incredible game. The story of this game is much more interesting than the other two titles in the saga. This time, there were truly interesting characters who weren't just generic anime tropes and had some real personality, which was amazing. The story is full of interesting twists that make you want to keep playing, and the gameplay, which for me was always the weakest point of the Xenoblade series, wasn't bad in this game. Obviously, it still isn't the best combat gameplay in the world, but compared to what it was in Xenoblade 1, the improvement is absurd.

Honestly, aside from minor plot holes or annoying mechanics, I have zero bad things to say about this game. The soundtrack of this game was incredible, just like Xenoblade 2's soundtrack. It was worth enduring Xenoblade 1 until the end to have the complete experience of this game.
