This entry kicks off Roy’s journey—yes, the same Roy from Super Smash Bros. Melee—as he leads an army to save the continent of Elibe from the sinister forces of King Zephiel.

It’s got that perfect blend of tough-as-nails strategy and heartfelt storytelling, with a cast of memorable characters who’ll make every victory (or tragic loss) hit harder.
