Fire Emblem Awakening first impressions

I'm loving the game so far,even though this is the first Fire Emblem game I've played I find it very accessible and easy to get into.I love how it's cinematics sometimes look like they're from a painting and sometimes look like hand drawn anime style.Even though I'm only a few hours into the game I can see the potential for romances and the way some of the characters flirt is very charming.I like the battle system,it kinda reminds me of Disgaea 3 except the characters have more diverse abilities such how some of them can used ranged attacks to attack from a safe distance and units retaliate after being attacked which makes you think more about the strategy.You can do team style attacks on units of course and I like how every time you use a unit for a turn they gain some sort of experience points,even if they did something as simple as heal another unit so it encourages you to use all your units because even if none of your units need to be healed but you use Lissa to heal one of them anyways she'll gain experience points.

I can see how the permadeath can be devestating emotionally for the story because if a character dies then so does the possibility of them creating or continuing romance with another character.

I like how the story has a lot of imagination,I don't want to spoil it for you but it has a bit of fairy tale stuff mixed with more serious,intense stuff.

Only thing is,I've tried to connect my 3DS to the internet but I cannot and I don't know why it won't detect my wifi conection,but with the Vita I could connect it to any free wifi connection quickly as easily.

Oh yeah,I've tried to rate Fire Emblem Awakening aready but Gamespot says that feature is unavailable right now.Gamespot won't even let me add it to my collection.
