I enjoy Advance Wars more on a sheer strategy level, but it's story and characters are very silly. Especially since many hundreds of soldiers die in the ridiculous story.
Fire Emblem is a Strategy RPG and in addition to some of the best strategy I have ever played in a SRPG, it has great story and characters.
It is somewhat frustrating, since all characters who die are gone for good, but it adds a nice level of challenge missing in many SRPGs (Vandal Hearts 1,2, Kartia, FF Tactics Advance, Front Mission 3, Tactics Ogre Gaiden, Arc the Lad, Shining Force).
It is easily my favorite game of last year, even though it took me well into this year to win it.

I'm in Belgium, but imported Fire Emblem because I just had to have it, a couple of months ago. Now I see that it's finally arrived in Europe and I'm inclined to buy it AGAIN (I won't of course, it's the exact same game), that's how good it is ! In a year filled with Metroid : Zero Mission, Mario & Luigi, Wario Ware etc.. Fire Emblem was still the GBA GOTY !!

Well that was kinda the point of this thread, wasn't it ?
As to how it plays, compared to AW2 : it has no bases, and you don't have to manage any resources (e.g. money to buy new units with), instead your army consists of an ever growing legion of heroes; all with their own specialities and statistics. It's more obviously compared with Shining Force (another recommended GBA game) and FF : TA.
