If you've played a fire emblem game before, playing Lyn mode for the first time is complete poop. It feels like an endless tutorial that forces you into wasting a knight crest. I actually don't hate the characters in Lyn mode though, since they get (some) development outside of supports which 30 years to build in GBA FE.

As for Eliwood mode, the gameplay is better but I really didn't find the story interesting. I can't remember many things that happened even though I'm writing this review not too long after I finished the game. Still a decent enough game thanks to FE gameplay, but very far from my favorite.
