Started with this one, as I was told it's good for jumping in and getting a first taste:

Ahhh yeah, Best Lord!

She's pretty awesome! :3

Who do you have so far?

I've got Nils and Lucius at this point. I just got to the first level with a ballista

So... Serra, Rath, Erk, Dorcas, Wil, Kent, Florina, and Sain as well

Nice.

You're getting close to the climax of Lyn's story then.

Aka the prologue.

Don't worry, you'll see Lyndis' Legion in the main story too.

Okay. I'm enjoying it a lot. I don't even use the emulator speed-up function, which is really impressive for me because more rpgs of any type I can barely care to do without it.

I've always thought of FE more as a strategy series with RPG elements, so that might have something to do with it.

True. I'm enjoying the story so far as well, and that helps.

Lyn's story is pretty engaging. The main one's not bad either as long as you aren't expecting more than a decent fantasy plot.

The Tellius games have the best storyline, for my money, but you basically need a Wii to play those.

The characters, however, are the real draw for basically any game in the series.
