Well, the ones below it aren't exactly spectacular. FE3 is really terrible, it has a slightly interesting gimmick, sure, but then it becomes a stupid luck based mission because the dragons have atrocious accuracy but kill everyone in 2-3 hits, and Medeus is just terrible. It's only redeeming feature is that his battle music is ****ing amazing, but having the final battle be against terrible enemies and boil down to some minor luck (unless you saved up a use of the Again staff and then you just attack, dance, Again, attack, dance and you've probably won before even finishing that sequence). And FE8 is pathetic because the Demon King is a total lamer. The big long path full of Mamkutes isn't amazing, but it's not like a ton of random monsters are hugely exciting either.
