I'm replaying the game from the 2nd battle due to losing my save-files and because I found out about some hidden secrets in the game.

Expect the 2nd episode soon and also - I might replay the battle I just fought because Esther died and I might attempt to keep her alive. The game has really nice anime/manga-styled sprites similar to the Fire Emblem-series, the game plays exactly the same, it has a great story, great music and gameplay - and the graphics are better than in Fire Emblem 1-5 for the Nintendo 8Bit system or the Super Nintendo. This being a PS1 game after all.

I'm playing using the EPSXE Emulator which enhances the graphics to their maximum. The game plays like a strategy-game in battle where you take turns doing your moves and moving on a map, battles are separate and do have nice cutscenes that changes depending on the location of where you fight - you cannot control the troops in battle as they're purely cinematic - on the overworld you can buy items, trade gear, move around to different locations etc. All the characters can be equipped with items and level up and learn new skills.

Lord Runan is one out of two main characters. In his case all of the story is very linear and you are forced to move exactly to where the story wants you to go. With the other main character you are free to move around freely on the overworld-map with his ship and won't be playing as linear.

You can in essence have two armies in the game, one lead by each main character - and you get to pick which character out of your soldiers will go with whom later in the game. I've only ever played until you get to play as the other dude. The main characters and the girl who can save the game aren't allowed to die without a game over - but everybody else can die permanently. The story is affected by what happens in the game. If you keep a character alive his or her story will continue to be told and if he or she dies you won't get any of that story as he or she is dead. So the game is rewarding you for keeping your heroes alive and preventing them from dying - by giving you extra story for the minor characters.

I highly recommend this game and I've never played Fire Emblem ever but as I said the first five where made by the same creator.
