i understand why people don't like spending hours moving troops around but for me the huge maps make the game feel more like a big adventure of Conquest and Exploration. other FE games feel more like im doing a bunch of puzzles in a sequence, connected by a story. from what i know, FE4 is also one of the easier games, probably thanks to saving after each turn (resetting a whole stage will always feel more laborious than moving troops ever will, to me) and item management isnt as much pain in the ass. so its a perfect fit for someone like me. but as i said, i can understand why its controversial. respect.
