Notably, the first Fire Emblem to be localized.
A friend got this for his birthday, and watching him play it, I was entranced. I eventually got Sacred Stones, but this was technically the game that sparked my obsession with Fire Emblem.
The three protagonist modes and ranking system add some replay value. Some of the maps in FE6 were weird looking due to layout and coloration and that isn't the case here. Units stand out from each other and others in the overall series. Overall a more polished game than FE6 and a promising step forward for the Fire Emblem series. I wish the GBA Fire Emblem support system wasn't so bad, Blazing Blade has some good ones.
