Hi there! I'm new here.... although that might be obvious.
Anyways, I'm a filthy casual FE fan and have never played through any of the games on Hard or higher. I'm sort of obsessed with Ephraim too.
Sacred Stones was the first FE game I played and he did some pretty amazing things, and that was when I barely understood how the games worked. I have kept a big aspect of my playstyle from that playthrough though, and that is: "If anything dies, reset." This even affects my Awakening playthrough on Newcomer.
Besides that, I like Zelda, Pokemon, Smash, and I'm fond of the Final Fantasy series despite being a complete amateur.
