I have payed a lot of money to find this game at a used video game store, then later on played Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn for the Wii, and boy that was a much longer challenging game, it was very long tedious game, much more complex than Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance.
This is the direct sequel to Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. First of all this game is divided into 4 parts with much more chapters than Path of Radiance.
When you start the game in part 1, you are introduced to the Dawn Brigade group with a light mage named Micaiah with her thief partner Sothe with their allies who fight against Jarod and his army in Daein who oppress people.
In Part 2 you have Queen Elincia and her allies fight against the town rebels in Crimea trying to overthrow Elincia.
Then in Part 3 you finally get to play as Ike and his Greil Mercenaries with the Laguz army who has a feud war against Micaiahs Dawn Brigade army.
Finally in Part 4 you divide your team up into 3 army groups trying to stop the Goddess Ashera in the tall tower.
The gameplay is the same except there is now shop Bargain section selling expensive rare items which drains your money very quickly. Also you can promote your class characters twice instead of once.
My thoughts for this game are, the artwork and CGI scenes with voice acting and the orchestral soundtrack is beautiful. But the gameplay is much longer and more tedious with much more level grinding. This game has 44 chapters whereas Path of Radiance has 29 chapters. This game is harder and more complex. Easy, Normal, Hard would be Normal, Hard and Maniac. I do wish that I could've found a good place to level up my characters and have much more money to buy stuff, otherwise this would be a great game.
If you Fire Emblem fans are planning to buy and play this game, keep in mind this Nintendo Wii game is rare and hard to find, although not as expensive as Path of Radiance. But it's still a pricey game to find even in used condition. Also you'll need to buy and play Path of Radiance in order to understand the sequel to Radiant Dawn.
I only hope that the Nintendo Company will reissue Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn on Wii U or put it on the Wii Virtual Console. Until then you can still play the game on the Wii or Wii U system.
