Path of Radiance is absolutely the best game in the series, from both a story and gameplay point of view. For me, the difficulty was spot on, it had the most unique/compelling tweaks (Laguz, magic trinity, level 21 promotion, push[!!!]), and had the best plot/characters by far.
Damn, I want to replay Path of Radiance again.
Unlike everyone else, apparently, I thought Radiant Dawn was an absolute mess. The difficulty flow and progression was just inane, humping around from fucked to a complete pushover. The way it jumped between characters broke the sense of advancement. The story was same. The jump around broke any semblance to the thing, and it was full of really dumb twists and had just a really lazy, bad plot. The lack of meaningful support conversations, coupled with the unnecessarily large cast, was also the biggest mistake possible. Characters are usually the best part of Fire Emblem games, and there was absolutely none of it with Radiant Dawn.
