Which Fire Emblem game should I play first?

[Super_Boom]

My personal favorites are Fire Emblem 9 and 10, or Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn. They can be a little difficult in comparison, but the characters and story are my favorite in the franchise.

I'd say that Awakening and Fire Emblem 7 (no number or subtitle in the west) are the most accessible though...and do the best job easing you into the gameplay. I'd lean with 7 because I love sprites, but you really can't go wrong.
