yea i am not a long time gamer. i just became hardcore recently, so i havent played many games. especially before the 64. it is a very fun game, but i havent played any other fire emblems, and i have never really played on handhelds as much as i do now. so its all new to me. i love it. i cant imagine it being much longer then chapter 28. im on 25 now. i hope it never ends though. its actually good enough that i think i might play it through a second time right away.
