This is in my opinion the perfect Fire Emblem game.

Its mechanics are fine tuned, the maps are more interesting, returning favorites make a return, cinematics appear in a series first and are excellent... but none of that is why I value this game so much.

The story in this game is absolutely top notch. This game has so much to say and says it so, so well. It takes its source material and expands the world around it, explores that games' events on everyone in this world, and even goes beyond and explores a variety of real world social issues. All this is done through the lens of a very interesting plot with some truly crazy story and gameplay twists. Add to that the returning favorites and interesting new characters (Even if some are a bit weak), and you have a winner.

Simply put, this game is a banger.
