Overview:
- Story set on a new continent that has no name because it doesn’t matter what its name is.
- A fun plot full of twists and turns. It takes itself seriously, but definitely revels in some classic Fire Emblem tropes.
- 30 chapters - 1 prologue, 25 main chapters, 1 final chapter, 3 gaiden chapters
- Balanced around hard mode. Normal mode is pretty relaxed. Easy mode doesn’t exist.
- 30 playable characters with essentially no class redundancy
- Many plot essential characters. Not iron-man friendly.
- Supports are fully developed and written for all player characters
- Tellius / Vision Quest style supports
- Unlimited B-supports per character, but limited to 1 A-support per character
- Custom weapons and many fun PRFs to be found
- 2 Warps, 2 Rescues, 2 Hammernes - enough that there’s no need to hoard them until the very end. In fact, later game maps are balanced around using them.
- Custom classes, many of them familiar, a few of them pretty unique
- Player units have 1 personal skill and gain a second on promotion
- There are only a few fog maps, and the fog is weak (you can still see out 4 spaces)
- Music is mainly from Sacred Stones but with some fun additions from other games
- Talk and support do not take your turn to complete
- Viewable growths
- Maps usually have anti-turtle measures like time limits, chests, villages, NPCs in need of saving, and nasty reinforcements
- Javelins and Hand Axes are not sold in shops until the mid-game. They have also had their might reduced by 1. Still very useful, just not quite as dominant as in vanilla.
