1. thanks for notice that, i don't remember a lot of things...

2. but tower is (almost) necessary to evolve low leveled units like Amelia (who appears late in game)!!

3. I liked so much of FE7 maps, maybe cause i knew them like the palm of my hand. About characters i don't know what you mean (are you talking about stats or personality?), but i don't really care for them, they are just minions to my godly strategy muahahah.

 

I got Amelia up to 10/20/6 (General) in my last playthrough without ever putting her in the tower.  The tower and ruins definitely make things easier, but necessary is too strong of a word for them.

Fire Emblem 6 has the best maps of the GBA Fire Emblems in my opinion because it's filled with large and very diverse maps.  All of the Gaiden maps were very cool.  FE8's maps are tiny and usually filled with lots of the same enemies.  FE7's maps are boring early on and only really start to get interesting toward the end.

As for units, I'm talking about personality.  I'd elaborate but I don't want to spoil things for certain people in this thread who have not played them all.

My problem with the FE6 maps were that they were all "capture the throne". That wasn't quite so much fun to be honest. Some of the maps are completely brilliant though. I really, really disliked the Gaiden system in the game, which actually kind of ruined it for me.

Map wise, I pretty much feel they have improved consistently throughout the series. 10 > 9 > 7 = 6 > 8 > 4 > 5. I wasn't too much of a fan of the huge maps in FE4 and FE5, but I feel the large maps in FE10 and FE6 worked very well.  FE10 has the by far most diverse maps, due to them being completely different in each part.

Edit: Gah, VGChartz 2.0 screwed up my post. Let's see if this fixes it.

I wouldn't say it makes you a bad tactician. The main focus on Fire Emblem is to clear the map. Whether you do it in 91 turns, but only moving 1 character each time or 12 turns moving all 14 doesn't really matter a lot.
