About This Game
Revolutionized the series with non-linear progression - players can grind experience on the world map between story battles, a first for Western Fire Emblem releases.
Features 21 character classes with branching promotion paths (e.g. Cavaliers can become Paladins or Great Knights). The Tower of Valni and Lagdou Ruins provide endless postgame challenges.
Notable for its darker narrative exploring corruption and sacrifice. Introduced Lyon as one of the most tragic antagonists in FE history, with motivations beyond simple villainy.
