I realize this is a bit off-topic and a matter of taste but I am definitely NOT in love with the new Fire Emblem that everyone seems to be gushing over.
To explain why; could you imagine the same amount of talking, and exterraneous conversations added to Pokemon? I think most who love that game would not like the change.
Many of us come to Fire EMblem for the Battles,/tactics/Strategy, not the inane chatter that goes on in between in this newest outing of the game. I'm not against change, but Fire Emblem FE# (the Atlus cross over) wasn't sold as a straight FE game either, and for the same reasons I don't care for that game, didn't buy it. Nor did I buy F.E> Warriors, even though that was closer to the original than the others mentioned.
I do wish the best for those who are enjoying the game though, This is why I wish they had offered a pre-testing demo (long before) and saved me $60 USD, for something better.
If you haven't yet checked out, the GB Wars, GB Wars Turbo, it is strikingly bare-bones but it is closer to why I enjoy the game and worth checking out once you get with their simplicity.
'Simplicity is the Hallmark of Genius'...
PS I wish Chuckle FIsh put an option to change characters to War Like machines ie tanks and such, that would add a ton of replayability IMO. In fact, I think I'll suggest it to them.
sorry for the wall o text
