Reminiscent of the original Animal Crossing, but slow-moving and can be boring after awhile. It is hard to get rare fish/insects/items, and is all based on luck. Overall, it is a good game if you want a slow-paced, some-what relaxing game.

This is different from past Fire Emblem games for a home console, but it is so much better. You get to communicate and build relationships with characters, and the classic fighting method like in past games. Wonderful story lines and I love that you get to make different decisions throughout different game plays. Lots of options, which is a great change! I am very impressed with this game! Highly recommended!!!
