I've never been a fan of SRPG's, but my younger brother bought Path of Radiance for the GameCube and when he was finished with it (aka got half way and gave up :P) I decided to give it a try. What I found was an deep gaming experience with an epic and twisting story embedded in it. And unlike other games, if your character dies, (s)he's dead. You either restart the level or continue the quest without that character. Now going on without one measly character wouldn't be a problem... but the thing is, with Fire Emblem, you really start to care for your characters. You start to have favorites (Illyana and Jill for some reason :D) and you root for them as they engage in battle. In the end you start to grow with them. It's a really great experience.
Of course I had to get Radiant Dawn, as a continuation of the story line of Path of Radiance, I didn't have a choice. So I would recommend buying Path of Radiance first and then continuing with Radiant Dawn. They're great and rewarding games, and I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a challenging yet fun gaming experience.
