A Personal Favorite

Fire Emblem: Awakening. Fire Emblem: FREAKING Awakening. From the moment I saw the title screen, I knew I was in for a ride.

Story: 9/10 The plot twists are amazing. The way the story paced never seemed too slow or too fast. It was always a nice blend I enjoyed

Gameplay: 9/10 The gameplay is basically the same as the other FE games (which I've yet to play) save for the Pairing system and the Child system. Pairing two units together makes them a double powerhouse on the battlefield with stat-buffs, Chain Attacks, and Dual Guarding. The child system I can't explain without spoilers.

Other: 10/10 The soundtrack is without a dud. Every piece suits it's situation, like "I've never seen one fall so gracefully!" when either of the two protagonists die or during a Tear Jerker cutscene. The characters. Oh Naga, the characters! They range from Large Ham Owain to Tsundere Severa to Actually 300 Years Old Nowi to Gentle Giant Gregor and so many more! The Support conversations dwelve into their characters even more ways ranging to Heartwarming, Tear Jerker, Funny, Nightmare Fuel, and so much more!

Overall, it's my favorite game of all time. Be sure to pick it up sometime!

Just a correction: the child system actually debuted in the 4th game, Geneology of the Holy War on SNES. That game was No Export for You though, so I can't blame you for not knowing.

The child system in that game was very different though, for reasons I can't explain without spoilers.
