I don't think you added my 10 for xcom2 from a few topics back

Lot of good characters, including the best FE villain (Valter not that other guy) and fun but a bit too easy.
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!
10 , probably my favorite GBA game aside from maybe Advance Wars 2.

Scores for past games:
Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal: 9
River City Ransom: 8
Double Dragon II: 7

Also, might be worth keeping the bottom 20 to the opening post.

Sadly, there are no second chances in the Guru, azuarc doesn't need one.

Got way more hate than it deserved. The GBA Fire Emblems are high tier.

played through it this year as my first Fire Emblem and I think the series just isn't for me
Three Houses is Fire Emblem for people that Fire Emblem isn't for, like me

It's pretty bad as a first Fire Emblem cause it doesn't really appeal to people out for story or for gameplay as well as other entries.

But it depends what your issues with it were.
No problem!

Up

Sacred Stones: 8 , very solid game

Planescape Torment: 6

To me, a game one admires more for the ambition than the final product. The story has some memorable moments and deep ideas, but it never really hooked me, perhaps because of a lack of focus and a lackluster method of storytelling with the text dumps. The game design is ass which made most of the experience quite miserable.

What says dunnock, drush, or dove? "Love me tender, tender love."

I think it's way more fun than the original (yes I know), and it's probably the one I enjoy the most out of the entire series? I think the GBA Fire Emblems just have by far the coolest look to them and this one's the most fun to play and replay, and the new animations look soooooo smooth (to the point that the older ones look out of place)
8.5

It's good FE but it plays it a bit too safe.
