Yes. That's precisely what I am talking about. What do you mean by you had access to your units on the world map in FE8 but not in Awakening? I don't see a difference.

Ah. That's helpful. I didn't know you could access it there. Thanks.

Just started playing Fire Emblem Awakening and I was surprised that I could not access the sortable character table outside of battle (where you can sort your characters by their various attributes). I am pretty sure you could access that outside of battle in the GBA Fire Emblem games. Am I just missing something here or is that really only accessible during battle? If so, that kind of stinks.

Thanks everyone for the well formed arguments and your passionate opinions. I decided to go with FE9. And don't worry...I didn't read any of the spoiler stuff!

Question: how the heck can you accurately anticipate the outcome of a battle without the hit, mt, and crit on the screen during battle? I heavily relied on that in Sacred Stones when deciding whether or not to attack.

I own neither Path of Radiance nor Radiant Dawn. I would like to purchase only one of these. Could some of the more seasoned FE players pitch one of these and provide some compelling reasons for why one is better than the other? Thanks for sharing your wisdom. Relatively new to the FE world so I want to invest my video game cash wisely! (My only experience with FE is via Sacred Stones)

Hey everyone. New to the forum and fairly limited knowledge about the Fire Emblem series as a whole. I've owned FE8 (Sacred Stones) for quite some time now and I love it to death. Probably one of my favorite games of all time on any system. I was wondering if some of the more seasoned FE players on this forum could offer some advice regarding if it is worth purchasing FE7 (Self-titled) as well. Based on my internet research and various informal polls I've seen many people regard FE7 as their favorite of the series, primarily because of a top notch plot and great character development. Does FE7 offer a different enough experience than FE8 to warrant dropping $25 on it or should I invest my limited cash elsewhere? Are there other significant game mechanic differences in FE7 or would I mainly be purchasing it just for a new story (compared to FE8)?
