The other game in my top two Fire Emblems. This game is a huge mess, but I still love it. I like the continuation of the story from Path of Radiance, the skill system is more freeform when compared to Path of Radiance, the Bonus EXP system is more exploitable, the support system is freeform, and the introduction of ledges in the maps is a neat way to balance the classes. I don't like how unbalanced the difficulty is. Playing through this blind is a nightmare because there's a ton of hidden items and it's hard to plan ahead when you don't know who is going to be available in your party or if you're going to need to prepare for a deficit in funds or EXP. Another thing I don't like is how hard it is to see all of the game's content. You have to have owned PoR and carried over your save data on top of fulfilling the super specific conditions to see some scenes. I wouldn't be surprised if 95% of players don't end up seeing all of the background lore. This most recent playthrough was interesting. It was the first time Nephenee wasn't the MVP of the playthrough and it also made me realize that I really don't enjoy playing on hard mode. I should probably stick to normal for all of my games moving forward.
