I've heard some games are tedious or don't make any sense in their hardest difficulty (I remember Awakening and Shadow Dragon), so what's the highest difficulty that you recommend for each game you've played?

I don't have a lot of experience so I don't think I could give you a lot of advice. But from what I've read, the best games to start (excluding newer ones, like Awakening) are FE7, FE8. I'm playing FE8 in hard mode because it's way too easy, even for a beginner, but FE7 normal mode is still challenging for me.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate this all.

Ok, so I'm pretty new at Fire Emblem. I played Birthright and part of Conquest, Revelations and Awakening like 4 years ago, and some weeks ago I decided to do a marathon and try to play all the games. I've started with FE7 normal mode and FE8 hard mode (yeah, at the same time) and I think I'm doing OK so far. But I still have a lot to learn. I have to reset like twice every three chapters or so. I already know the basis (check enemy range, let the enemy attack first if you can only survive to one hit, weapon triangle, magic trinity, etc.), but I'd really appreciate it if you guys could share some of your tips with me. Thanks in advance!
