Great SRPG

If you've ever played any strategy RPG, and liked it, this is one game you should buy. What this game attempts to do is get you enthralled in a fantasy war, which it definetly succeeds at doing. Some SRPG's are just basically RPG's where it feels as if the battle system has just been tweaked. This game, it's been chosen this way, so that it gives the game a better feel for war. One thing that helps you get the feel for war, is the weapon triangle. Swords are strong vs. axes, axes are strong vs. spears, but spears are strong vs. swords. Not only does this allow for much strategy, but it kinda gives you a feel for war. Also, each weapon that you obtain has a set number of times it can be used. Once you've used up all of its uses, it breaks. But, if there's one thing that happens in war, is people die. And in Fire Emblem, when your character dies in battle, he's dead for the rest of the game. You could always reset it, but sometimes it's just not worth it. It's perfectly alright to let some people die, because you get so many characters to make up for it, that if you've been keeping enough people alive, it's extremely difficult who to choose for each battle. There's a limit as to how many people you can use in each battle. But, in the end, it makes you think about how honorably some of your characters died, and how lucky some were to live. Then you feel like an idiot for....honoring video game characters... But, as for the story, this game definetly has a great story, and intersting dialogue. But, what it's missing are actual cutscenes. They just throw pictures onscreen for visuals, and a bunch of text. which many could care less, but for some, it may feel like reading a book for school. The game does offer some cutscenes, but there's only about four or five in the whole game. And, sometimes they'll throw in some lamo pictures to try and make up for it. But overall, this is defenitely a great game to buy for any SRPG fan.
