FE8 is a game. it's fine. For a long time it was the soviet dissident of fire emblem games, disrespected and neglected.
Recent developments within the last 5 years have really opened the game to ambitious ROM hacks like Sacred Echoes and self-randomizer mod. The narrative and pacing criticisms transformed into an open canvas for modders.
Much of the cast are stoic and rather one-dimensional. If there were more L'arachels than it would be disgusting in a good way even without the unreliable varnish of nostalgia. The FE8 randomized mod works with normal save files, introducing human and even female enemies post-game. It has ameliorated one of the barriers to my enjoyment that has plagued me for the last 15 year.s
The music, spites, and animations are still fantastic, the stylistic decsions maintain a careful balance between derivation and __.
