An epic tale of strategy and war, the Fire Emblem series is a rather intriguing strategy role playing game. Different from most games, the characters that appear throughout the adventure are each unique and add his or her own respective tale to the main storyline despite the sense of finality provided when a character runs out of hit points. Upon the loss of said life points, most characters meet their end so to speak, creating a layer of intensity that is rarely seen in others games belonging to the same genre. To say I have become fond of the series would be a rather massive understatement.

It is certainly a shame the games are so difficult to come by, literally becoming a quest in itself. I still hope to attain Fire Emblem 7 along with Path of Radiance, preferably before Goddess of Dawn is released in North America.
