Fire Emblem is what every JRPG SHOULD be. The tactical warfare is a zillion (scratch that, a googleplex) times more entertaining than turn-based bore-stravaganzas like Final Fantasy.
This was the first installment we got, so it was a little rusty in terms of visuals & graphics. There's only so long you can go staring at drab blue and red sprites before you start yearning for a third colour with the burning, sweaty passion of a heroin addict in serious withdrawal. But if you squint your eyes just enough so that you don't see all the swords and axes, you can pretend you're playing a Bloods vs. Crips game!
