Is that the GBA one?
No, it’s the second one on SNES. Genealogy of Holy War.
Ah okay. I am new to Fire Emblem, what was so special about this one, if you don’t mind me asking? Or is it just a personal favourite.
Considered one of the best in the series by a lot of people in the fandom. Had a pretty dark story compared to other games in the series, even the newer ones. To elaborate more would spoil some stuff but know there’s more death and more mature themes. Probably why Nintendo is avoiding a remake. I suggest getting the translated rom and playing it. If you like Fire Emblem you’ll like it for sure.
