Blazing Blade is much better imo. There are some revisionist from long time fans who will defend SD to the death, but I think there are a lot more problems with it than just the slightly redeemable gameplay.

FE7 is just an all-around complete package, and it's also accommodating to newer players with a tutorial like campaign before you get into the main story

Was Blazing Blade the one that got released stateside? I just skimmed Wikipedia and there are 2 GBA Fire Emblems with Blade in the name but only one came over here.

Shadow Dragon is horrendous. Forcing you to let characters die goes against what the series is all about. The graphics also look like hot garbage.

Can't go wrong with any of the GBA games though.

Yeah FE6 (Binding Blade or Sword of Seals) was a GBA game and released b4 Blazing Blade, which is FE7. But chronologically, FE7 happens b4 FE6, so you don't need to play FE6 technically.

Both are worth playing but FE6 might feel a bit more primitive

FE7 (Blazing Blade) is much, much better.

Skip SD, not worth your time.

Blazing for sure. It's one of my favorites in the series.

SD is sadly pretty bland. They went very faithful to the original, and it all just feels very dated despite having some smooth gameplay modernizations. Also the art style is very creepy and soulless.

You don't have to let anyone die. You just won't get the paralogues.

blazing blade (or as I like to call it, rekka no ken) aka FE7 for the fans, is the best entry point into the series. Start with that one

Shadow Dragon is so dull, in every way

All the GBA FEs are excellent. Much more personality to them

Blazing Blade by far. Shadow Dragon's gameplay is fine, but that's all it has going for it. Awful graphics, mediocre music, extremely shallow characters and story, dumb requirements for sidechapters...
