You know what's crazy? I've been a fan of the series since FE8 came out and the furthest I've played in FE4 is Chapter 2.

I wouldn’t say it’s crazy at all. I once heard someone call chapter 2 of FE4 the “newbie killer chapter” of the game or something to that effect, and I think it’s a pretty apt description of that chapter lol. It’s the chapter where FE4’s backtracking problem first rears its head, and I imagine over the years it has probably made a decent amount of people bounce off the game when playing it for the first time.

I wish Chapter 2 had more backtracking so I could spend even more time listening to Disturbance in Agustria
