I never thought the day would come where StarCraft and Pokémon, two franchises which I've loved since 1998 would be so easily replaced with another Video Game Franchise known as Fire Emblem.
Of course I still play both Pokémon(Competitively since I've got nothing left to do on Pokémon X) and StarCraft from time to time. But, Fire Emblem seems to have taken over my life and my 3DS. So much so, that after I beat Awakening, I decided to buy Fire Emblem(the First International Release of the series) and The Sacred Stones. Both of which I love as well.
Why I disregarded the series for years is unknown, but now I'm addicted to the franchise. I plan on buying more Fire Emblem games, both old and new.
This all happened back in July and August 2013.
You always had a knack for games developed in Asia. The fantasy and plot are without equal most of the time.
