Speed Weaving

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weaveactive

I really can't emphasize enough how much better this game feels after one round through. It just feels like the actual correct amount of time between things.

I also think part of it might be that Theodora's overworld stuff is mechanically so much more interesting than Cai's. Sure, the mounts are cool but Theodora feels a bit like you're conquering the map. You're recruiting units, you're deploying them (to gather shit sure) but you're getting around and you're doing stuff.
