I love Fire Emblem, in fact I think I've spent around $60.00 in DLC content for Fire Emblem: Awakening. I've only played Sacred Stones, Shadow Dragon, Path of Radiance, Radiant Dawn, and the newest one. Even bought the special addition 3DS for Awakening... >w< Wow to be honest I think this is my favorite Fire Emblem so far. I especially like the fact that I can recruit characters from previous games and use them in Awakening. The only issue I really have with Awakening is the marriage system. It just seems pretty rushed like a Las Vegas wedding. Other than that the rest of the game is really enjoyable! As for my favorite characters I would have to say Soren, Ike, Marth, Chrom, Luciana, Gaius, Nesala, Rayson, Lon'qu, Stahl, Harr, and Sothe.
