What do you think of this turn based RPG strategy series?

Fire Emblem was a Japan exclusive franchise for a long time. Remember when we first unlocked Marth and Roy in SSB Melee back in 2001 and wondered "who the **** are these guys?!"?

Well, thanks to Melee, Nintendo decided it would be a good idea to start releasing the Fire Emblem games worldwide. And they've gained quite a following in the West among Nintendo fans.

I've recently gotten into the series myself with Fates. Birthright was fine, even if a little repetitive. A good introductory game for a newcomer to the series like me. Now in playing Conquest which is more geared towards veteran FE players, and so far I must say it's a more interesting game than Birthright. It has more variety of battle objectives beyond "rout all enemies" and "defeat the boss".

After im done with Conquest I'll play Awakening. Not sure I'll get Revelations. I've heard the maps are lousy and the gameplay kind of gimmicky. If that's the case, not even having both Norh and Hoshido units in my party justifies paying 19.99 euro for it.

I own Path of Radiance for the GameCube as well. Oughta play that sometime. And I'm thinking of buying the first FE Warriors game for the Switch.

Haven't bought or played Three Houses yet. Will get on to it eventually.
