It’s a good game with the HUGE caveat that the Beorc/Laguz conflict is the worst part, which sucks because it, uh… is kind of the entire basis of the game. To put so much emphasis on the fantasy racism against animal people while also being the game with fucking Devdan in it would be comical if it weren’t so astounding. Which is a shame, because Path of Radiance has some of the best characters in the franchise and some really good emotional highs, but alas. A lot of the maps were objectively frustrating but I had a lot of fun with them anyway, and Ike is easily one of my top 3 Fire Emblem lords (alongside Elincia, actually). Again, the game is good, really, but the flaws are so glaring that I wouldn’t blame someone from being turned off by it entirely.
