Great and it's only for gamecube this game rocks. Must own for any cube owner.
The main character is Ike, who is a mercenary living in the country of Crimea with his father, and several other mercenaries. One of your fellow mercenaries has been studying in the capital of Crimea, but comes back to inform you that Crimea and Daein (another country) have begun a war against each other. What side should you fight for? Of course, the mercenaries decide to fight for Crimea once they find Princess Elincia, princess of Crimea.
You can choose who you want to train. For instance, if you loathe someone -cough-Nephenee-cough, then you can decide to just not send them into any battle... and stuff.
Like the other reviewers have said, this game involves using your brain. (For most people, that is) It's strategy. Yeah. And you don't literally control the characters, as you know if you've played the other two Fire Emblem games for USA. You do get to choose where they move, but you can't press a button to use their weapon or anything. It's sort of hard to explain.
The graphics are really good, and I like the music as well. Conversations between the characters can be long, but I like reading all of it.
I really like this game,my little brother likes this game too it took him some time to beat great game.
