Favorite: GBA. In my opinion, these games had the best gameplay and pretty decent characters. The GBA games also probably have my favorite art. Least favorite: NES/SNES. I may not have given these games a proper chance though, since i haven't completed them. I feel like these games aged very poorly, especially the NES games. Everything in these games just feels very dated and doesn't hold up and they usually just feel like a drag. Mystery of the Emblem might be an exception, while i don't love it, it's still a pretty decent game. I might enjoy the SNES games more if I wasn't so bad at them, but I'm not sure if I could ever get into the NES games.

I enjoyed Awakening and thought Fates was alright, but if this game is its own thing, or more similar to the GBA era, it'll be a pleasant suprise. Unfortunately, since the series recieved a massive spike in popularity when Awakening came out I doubt this will happen. Other than the level design I don't dislike anything about the modern Fire Emblem games' gameplay. If the characters and writing see an improvement and the game has less annoying fanservice, it could be one of the better Fire Emblem games. I think too much influence from fates could hurt the game a bit, but in my opinion as long as it doesn't take too much from the worsts parts of Fates (mostly writing), it'll probably be fine. I'll probably get some amount of enjoyment out of it no matter what happens.
