| As I played this again I was reminded of some of the fatal flaws the game had. Most of it had to do with the story. If you don't want to be spoiled, then don't click the spoiler  - Spoiler:
-Micaiah being the true apostle. Seriously?
-Sephiran being turned into the bad guy. Not necessary.
-I don't think Ike was really as strong as Greil at his best despite what Zelgius said.
-A lot of Micaiah's characters needed to be babied to level up adequately by endgame.
-Enemies hitting at 10, 20 and 30 percent often, 40 percent being good chance to hit.
-Largo was turned to stone even though he was certainly more powerful than some that didn't.
-The goddess thing was overdone in this game. Path of Radiance had just the right touch of it.
-The support system was odd as some siblings couldn't have support.
-Too complex on the magic system. Mage and Sage will do. Not Wind Sage, Thunder Sage, etc.
-No dark magic users you can get except for Sephiran/Pelleas (as far as I know).
-The Greil Mercenaries splitting up.
-Soren packing his bags and traveling somewhere.
-Ike NEVER BEING SEEN AGAIN! This pissed me off the most.
There are more and I'll add to the list if I think of them. You guys can add some too.

| I think some of their pronunciations were odd. Greil looks like Greel but they said Grail like the holy grail | |

| This is more about gameplay but Ike not being the main character. It was a good game but nowhere near PoR in story. | |

| Ike turned into the main character in part 3 though. It was clearly symbolized when Micaiah lost her ability to sense danger whenever Ike fought her | |

Yeah, 3 quarters of the way through the game. I mean the actual MAIN character. | |

| Yes, I agree. There were quite a few of those but I'd say the first half was Micaiah and the second half was Ike but Ike was overall the main character because of all the end stuff. As per tradition, the main main character is shown at the end of the "what happened after" credits and Ike was the last. Also the very end was a picture of Ike and talked about hiim | |
