I love Tactics RPG's and this is my favorite. Hands down the best game I've ever played. Awakening was good but I don't understand how it makes peoples best of list and this game doesn't. The battle system was perfected in Fates. Admittedly my favorite play through was my first (Birthright) that I didn't use the online features of My Castle in. When playing Conquest I didn't really have a choice.
