I've been curious about trying out Fire Emblem at some point (I used to play a good bit of RTS in my youth, as well as turn-based strategy like FF Tactics Advance and Advance Wars). What's your recommendation as an entry point to the series for a semi-newbie like me? Should I start on Nintendo Switch with Three Houses / Engage, or go back to some of the earlier games (I can always borrow my partner's 3DS!)
Depends on what you're looking for, really. Three Houses does an exceptional job with the story and world-building. But I'd be hard-pressed to recommend anything other than the OG Gameboy Advance Fire Emblem The Blazing Blade to a first-timer. It holds up so well.
