Something I like about Fire Emblem is that it keeps stats small (< 3 digits), digestible and understandable. It's nice that it's pretty easy to tell how much damage a unit is going to do and be dealt, vs other games where stat screens are often less comprehensible to me.

This is one of the coolest units I've seen in an SRPG. She's a cracked archer with great stats and skills, BUT she's against killing humans, so she can't (she leaves them at 1 hp instead). Perfect for setting up kills, strong stats, but with meaningful limitations.

An important Fire Emblem etiquette imo is not bothering people who are just having fun or aren't talking about unit viability. Like if someone is talking about their favorite unit, or how fun a build is, you don't need to be in their replies/QTs with the spreadsheet calculations.

The strongest part of the worldbuilding in 3h isn't the lore on its own, it's the way the lore interacts with the characters. The character's struggles are linked to Fodlan's political and social systems in a way that usually feels organic and interesting.

One of the things I like about Fire Emblem is how the gameplay can create unique narratives everytime you play it, through things like growths, death, and the whims of RNG. It's part of the reason people can become attached to "random recruit with 4 lines of dialogue"

Something I don't like about a lot of social sim stuff in RPGs (social links, 3h advice box) is how often the rewarding response to a character's query is to tell them what they want to hear vs considering what might be best to say to them/what they need to hear.

The avg starting constitution for women in fe8 is 5. Ewan's starting con is 5. Ewan is a literal child. Almost everyone should have more con than him. I do not accept realism as a reason for gendered con disparity in gba FE. Plus buff women are just as realistic as buff men.
