advantage
birthright is basically carried by fates gameplay, which imo is the best out of the fe games i've played bar none. even in a game with fairly bland map design, the core fates gameplay experience combined w/ the fairly novel hoshidan classes make for a game that's, at the very least, really really fun to play even if it doesn't come close to the heights of conquest. combine that with an uninspired but benign story, which is apparently the bar to clear in Fire Emblem: Fates, and you have a game that somehow manages to eke out a win as the only fates game that's decent across the board.
wasn't a gamer as a kid so this was the first proper console game i ever played :') will always have a very special place in my heart

we have Gambling Addiction at home
got into ace attorney around the start of quarantine and honestly i think it changed my life
weakest game in the series before the 3D releases but man. case 4 i will always love you
3/5 cases are part of my overall top 5 how did they manage to knock it out of the fucking park with this one
POLLY TIME!!!! i think aa3 is my favorite game but aa4 is somehow the one i love the most, if that makes sense :O such a perfect game!!! aa4-1 is probably my favorite case in the series and the overall mystery of how phoenix lost his badge and what role everyone played in it is just so insanely compelling to me. i LOVE a good fall from grace i LOVE phoenix losing his reputation i LOVE daughter acquisition and the light of my life trucy wright i LOVE klavier's stupid fucking air guitar i LOVE polly's silly little chords of steel i LOVE you beautiful spritework and amazing music i LOVE you phoenix being insanely hot I mean what who said that i love you aa4 i love you i love you
objectively the weakest game in the series (though subjectively i prefer it to aa6) but that one sprite of phoenix where his jawline is um............................ Nvm. anyways i don't know how it's possible to follow up aa4 — a game about a fundamentally broken legal system that ends with the introduction of a brand new jury system — with ANOTHER game about a fundamentally broken legal system that somehow manages to introduce no meaningful stakes and no reason to really care. but aa5 managed it i guess
