First GBA era Fire Emblem that I've completed, I can see how this was one of the onboard ramps for the series, it's incredibly fun even 20 years later
The concept is great, there's good quality of life stuff, and it made me get so much better at the Paper Mario gameplay.
The problem is the difficulty curve isn't quite gradual enough. In my specific example, I got through up to General Guy, who I then just could not get past. I thought, "okay, it's probably a skill thing and I'm not super optimized," so I dropped the game and then tried again with Master Quest Jr. a few months later. Not only is Jr. not that much easier, I'm still getting completely bodied by General Guy, same exact spot. Hopefully things improve with 2.0.
