If you are looking for a good ff tactics clone then you cant go wrong with this game
User Rating: 9.9 | Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones GBA
This game is just really fun. Make armies, beat the crap out of soldiers, many different units and classes, lots of abililities and weapons, and quite a few missions make this game a perfect gba game. The gameplay is just like final fantasy tactics. You choose a unit and move them to any available spot on the grid. You can run up to an enemy to attack it. The fight scenes are pretty cool especially when a character performs a fatal hit! Also if you don't give a s*** about the story and just want to get to fight, you can skip the numerous dialogue scenes. If this is your first Fire Emblem (my case), the game provides an in game tutorial and a guide in case if you forget some of the rules and are too lazy to read the manual.
The graphics are pretty good for the gba and the effects in the battle scenes are fun to watch. The character sprites on the map grid look cool as well. Only thing is they are all either blue, red, or green. Well at least it was done so you can tell the different teammates apart.
The sound is cool especially the battle music.
The bottom line is if you like strategy RPGs and have a Gba or Ds ( who doesn't) then you will love this game as much as i do.
