tcaz2 05/07/17 4:18:53 PM #31:	redrocket_pub posted... What would you say are the weaknesses of the pre-SNES titles? Well FE1 is just really, really basic. It has very little tactical depth (and is just outright broken in some parts), a very basic plot, and characters that basically have no character (including a few where their ONLY line is their death line). FE2 is similar but also incredibly frustrating because of the differences it does have, along with even worse map design where a lot of early levels are literally just open fields with a couple trees dotted around (which sadly I hear the remake didn't fix).
