The prior one I completed was Radiant Dawn, right now I'm working on Fates and while I have been enjoying it, some of the changes feel odd(though I can't put my finger precisely on what). I personally don't think Phoenix mode should exist, it dumbs it way too much to the point of "why even try". If I wanted someone to figure out Fire Emblem, I would hand them Sacred Stones since I found that entry easy to get into and learn the mechanics of, but that's just me.
Whole heartedly agree on the FE8 point. My main issues with Fates are in regards to the over simplification of certain mechanics and excessive complexity of others. Why have such casual game modes for FE? It's like an Easy-Easy mode. Why do away with weapon uses? Why add so many debuffs and such? It doesn't fit what we've seen from Fire Emblem in the past. I feel like they went a little too far in one direction than necessary.
