@sloppydetective: this is really tough because my game of the year for the last 3 have been JRPGs of 100+ hours. Fire Emblem does NOT transcend tropes common in the style. It expects familiarity with this type of game or anime to set, and even occasionally subvert, expectations. I really like the characters but there is nothing here that isn't "anime as hell." As these characters and how you feel about them are critical to later parts of the combat, I'd say your milage may vary.
