idk what it is about this game, but i care about it a lot.
i've played quite a few fe games, and i feel like they all do something better than awakening. three houses has my favorite cast and soundtrack, engage and conquest have my favorite gameplay (fates as a whole having a much better pair-up system that i wish was in awakening), and in general a lot of the games that preceded awakening have a much more solid story. and yet! i find awakening very cozy. maybe it's nostalgia, maybe it's the low difficulty, maybe it's henry, but i always find myself coming back to it when i wanna laze around and play through a perfectly solid fire emblem game for like, the 6th time.
(also, the ui is top-notch thanks to the dual screen system!)
