Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance

This interview is taken from issue #82 of Nintendo Online Magazine, published in May of 2005. The ninth game in the Fire Emblem series, it marked the franchise’s long-awaited return to home consoles following three consecutive titles for the Game Boy Advance. It and its sequel (Radiant Dawn for the Nintendo Wii) are simultaneously the worst-selling and most highly-sought installments in the franchise, with both commanding aftermarket prices quite close to what they originally retailed for. Ike, the protagonist of Path of Radiance and co-protagonist of Radiant Dawn, can be seen fighting for his friends and being basically useless in 1 vs. 1 combat in recent games in the Super Smash Bros series.
