Also, someone who calls Fire Emblem average must not really like SRPGS, or just doesn't like losing.
I mean, i'm not a big fan of the Fire Emblem series, because I perfer the games where you can train and use all your characters via side battles and also can't stand ever screwing up and losing someone but everything in them are executed quite amazingly. I still buy them.
The only problem i could see having with it is that it has "Final Fantasy" syndrome where each one is a lot like the last in both terms of story and characters.
You know there is going to be some huge war going on where you side is getting the crap kicked out of it. (Which SRPG doesn't start out like this, or... any game involved in a war?)
You know the red knight is going to be the hot head boaster, the green knight is going to be calm... etc. However even then they tend to do enough to change it up to where their personalites are fairly different despite their traditional similarities.
