Path of Radiance is a bit different in terms of setup than most Fire Emblems in that Ike is not a Prince or the heir of a nation on the brink of destruction. Instead, he is simply the leader of a mercenary band. And thus his arc does not revolve around many of the same tropes that the rest of the series does. This game has new units which don't revolve around the typical rock paper scissors and are instead subject to a rock paper scissors of their own with the differences between these beastly units. The overall effect is a deeper and more interesting level of tactics. It also introduces the notion of EXP assignment for non-rostered units, which I used to shepherd Mist up enough levels for her unique combination of attacks and heals could be used effectively. And it introduced bonding scenes that you didn't need to grind for in stupid ways - but before they went full stupid and used these to turn Fire Emblem into a eugenics simulator. excluding remakes and possibly Three Houses --- Board 8's Voice of Reason https://imgur.com/AWY4xHy <cite>Eddv posted [p:949710196] in The Board ...
