Just Great. Nothing else need be said.
Sound: 9/10
For a Game Boy Advance game, this game has the sounds of a full fledged, next generation consul SRPG. Then again, it is a Game Boy Advance, so the sound is still hampered. Regardless, the music in here makes you want to play the whole orchestral soundtrack with GBA speakers blaring.
Sight: 9/10
Again, the GBA is not exactly known for groundbreaking graphics; this fact, however, doesn't hamper this game as much as one would think. The art is amazing; and the portraiture of the bosses, allied units, and recruitable units make it not only a great graphical game, but also a very personal game. The battle scenes, though sometimes a bit pedestrian at times due to over-saturation, are awesome, especially the critical hits.
Smell (actual gameplay): 10/10
Simply put, this game owns. My personal favorite part is the permanent death of characters. This facet of the game makes one have to strategically plan every move he/she makes so as not to lose a unit. The battle scenes, when turned on, give one a rush of "Will my unit hit? Will the enemy hit me?" Overall, the gameplay department is one of the main things that will keep you coming back. Speaking of which...
Taste (replay value): 10/10
...You can play this game over...and over...and over...and over. There are many different ways to level up different characters, three difficulty modes, and different stories to follow right off the bat-after you beat the game. There's also the link arena, where you can battle with up to three of your friends to see who can use what units best. Overall, you can't go wrong with playing it two or eight times.
Feel (overall): 9.5/10
This. Game. Rules. It is a must own for anybody with a Game Boy Advance (or something that can play GBA games)-period. You don't like RPGs/SRPGs? You will after this game. Never heard of Fire Emblem? You'll be enthralled in the series after this game. You can't go wrong buying a game like this, plain and simple.
