It's sad to see that 16 people only played Awakening :(

Between PoR, RD and Awakening, the best one for me is Radiant Dawn (the only video game, with Grandia 2, that I finished 3 times), followed by Path of Radiance. Awakening is barely worthy of the name Fire Emblem IMO (could be an okay game in another series, but it's not an acceptable Fire Emblem).

Rekka no ken and Sacred Stones used to be my favorites until Awakening, which is now my favorite hands down. It just feel like a natural upgrade, it improves form what you have, like how Megaman X feels from the previous Megaman games.

I'd have to go Radiant Dawn. The music, characters and overall package come together the best out of all of them; having said that however I've not been disappointed by an FE game yet.

Radiant Dawn. Story quality went south since Awakening.

It was a toss up between Radiant Dawn and The Sacred Stone, but I chose Radiant Dawn.

Currently, I'd say Awakening but I'm in the middle of a Radiant Dawn playthrough so that might change

I love most Fe so this is really hard D:

But here is my list:

1-Fire emblem genealogy of the holy war/new mystery of the emblem heroes of light and shadow

2-Fire emblem Awakening

3-Fire emblem Path of Radiance

4-Fire emblem 7

5-Fire emblem SS

6-Fire emblem thracia 776

7-Fire emblem radiant dawn

8-Fire emblem 6/10 

I don't have fates yet because Nintendo hates me and Europe *sigh*

It's either path of radiance or radiant dawn
Path is the most balanced game in the series, every side of it is good, Radiant does agood job early on but fails to maintain it till the end, but in terms of maps, strategies, offince & deffence no other can compare, I still go back to playing both every now and then
After that I will choose game advance trio, I think sacred stones much balanced, but all three give a good reason for the series to have a handheld experiance, it tastes differant
I finished fates just a weak ago, I have to give credit to this game as it stands its ground, the atmosphear and music is superb, it's also a great experience
There is still 2 games in the series that I didn't play from SNES days

How can you say Sacred stones is balanced if you have Seth???

I really like SS but you have Seth lol He has perfect availability , amazing class , amazing base stats ,really good grows , really good everything. The dificulty mode doens't even matter much because the enemies are really weak :/

It's really fun game but it's not balanced. It's still better than FE 6 lol but Fire emblem 7 it's way better in terms of balance.

1. Fire Emblem (Blazing Sword)
2. Awakening
3. Genealogy of the Holy War
4. Binding Blade
5. Radiant Dawn
6. Sacred Stones
7. Path of Radiance
8. Shadow Dragon

That's of the ones I've played.
