It's a great game, but not as good as the original
The combat system, the weapon triangle, the trinity of magic, it's all there once again. The story is highly addictive like the first FE. The first thing that disappointed me in FE:SS, is that the major part of the characters that you gain during the game looks like childrens. In the exception of a few like Gerik, Seth, Gilliam, Saleh and Cormag, they all look like 12 years old childs. But anyway, it does not take away the fun of playing the game. Another thing that I did not liked was the fact that you have to choose side between the 2 main characters during the story, but then again, it does not touch the quality of the game. A great addition to the game was the appearance of "fightables" monsters, and the ability to revisit cleared maps to train your characters. A must buy for RPG fans. (My favorite character in the game is Gerik so if you play and let him die, don't come and ask me to be your friend) No, I'm joking. But it's certain that you too, will find a favorite character in the game.
