It was my 2nd Fire Emblem game, i really like the pair up system way better than the Adjutant in three houses that i would sometimes forgot to use, i like the story, i already kinda knew bits of it via cultural osmosis but i still like it very much and also the parts i didnt know about like the Ferox Khan surviving and the fake gem.

Child units were pretty fun, they all have good growths so they became really strong units but i didnt got all the kids only, Lucina, Cynthia, Morgan, Nah, Severa and Noire so only half. Severa was my favorite since she was pretty funny

i like reclassing to pick up good skill for my units in the end the units with max skill slots were robin, the kids and tiki, i kinda tried to get the another kid unit but the units i didnt use were pretty weak so it was hard to get them lvl so i just forgot about them

This was the Peoples Liberation Army of Ylisse (plus Sumia), in the final campaign plus my beautiful dragon daughter that can solo maps

i did a bad play in turn 2 and 4 which killed my healer and then the pagasus paladin pair up, but in the end the Manateke squad was able to beat the grimleal and then Morgan got a double Luna proc vs Grima and i got the final hit with Robin to permanently kill Grima since my wife and daughter were dragon and they would have 100% have to deal with him in 1000 years, i like the ending i think it makes more sense than the chrom last hit ending.

10/10 game i really liked it, i will play FE Fates next since it has similar gameplay

    Gaiden is the old game Shadows of Valentia is a remake from right? i will probably play that one after fates

    When I actually think about it, FE8 is definitely heavily inspired by Gaiden. They share a lot of similarities. Two lords. Two paths. Undead all over the place.

    oh yea, like that post i share that refered to both as monster emblem

      Correct. Definitely play that over the original. The original is as clunky as you can imagine a 1992 NES SRPG to be. Also, if the translation patch hasn’t been touched since I played it, it is glitchy and barely coherent.
