Started off at the young age of 6 (I think) when the original Fire Emblem came to the states. Then I learned it wasn't the original, and continued to play every game since (Though admittedly, most of the playthroughs have been in recent years.)
Hmmm, nowhere online. Actually, I kinda am self teaching myself to an extent. Of course some schooling was involved, but I just find myself googling for certain terms and whatnot to help myself.
Besides the first two Fire Emblem Games, I have played all of them, thanks mainly to forums like this. I personally feel the best written is a toss up between 7 and the Tellius Series. They both hit me in the feels, especially after the Dread Isle on 7. If I were to go based off of my bias, 7 wins.
