@Tsurii Yeah, being able to explore dungeons sounds really cool.
I'm unfortunately adding to the problem. Bought Awakening and Fates, but not this one. For me, it's just a matter of feeling burnt out on the series. Also, I was super disappointed with Fates.
Feel free to ignore my opinion on this but that's kinda subjective, and not because it's not "Waifu Emblem". From what I've played, while SoV is great (soundtrack, voice acting, story, presentation in general); it has flaws. I'm on Act 4 right now and still enjoying the game but not quite as much as I was when I started it due to daft RNG, bland (sometimes outright boring) map design, enemy reinforcements on the map, Witches and I want to strangle Cantors so hard, it's not funny. All little things to me but they add up.
To this day, from first playthrough experience, Sacred Stones is still my favourite with Conquest coming close. Though I've yet to finish SoV or Blazing Sword.

I'm into Act 4 now, and Echoes seems to be ramping up with dialog and cut scenes. Enjoying every minute of it, still.
Awakening was a natural fit for the children skills mechanic (I refuse to refer to it as "waifu" anything since I believe it's a cheap, unfair characterization of the game that diminishes the value and entertainment it brought, and was one small mechanic in a much broader system).
Fates was the one where it didn't fit. Fates was the one that should be called out... not Awakening, not Echoes, and not the series as a whole. Fates took a genuinely good idea that fit well in Awakening, and shoehorned it in as if that was the only reason people bought the game. It wasn't.
Echoes is exactly where the series needs to head, aside from the immaculate gameplay and map design from Fates. Not because I don't like the skill inheritance mechanic, because I do... I just don't think it should be forced if it doesn't naturally fit. Not every Fire Emblem game is a good fit for it.
Again, aside from gameplay and map design, which Fates indisputably set the bar for, Echoes is the Fire Emblem game to live up to now as far as I'm concerned.
If people would show their support, and if sales rivaled that of Awakening and Fates, perhaps the developers would see how much people prefer this approach.

Sorry for not contributing in the opinions department, but I have a question about the voices.
I'm playing with the japanese voices and find them rather compressed-sounding on the new3DS XL speakers. I noticed back when I changed of model that the sound was a bit worse on it compared to my previous new 3DS and even 2DS (whose exit is monoral). Are the voice tracks in the game simply heavily compressed or is this only coming from my (possibly worsening) speakers?
edit: heari,g the japanese dialogues while reading the french adaptation, some mismatches are pretty visible. Is there some discordance between the englissh voice and text scripts too?
Just beat the game.... excellent remake. So well done, and a fantastic story, even down to the little post-game summary of exploits for each character in the game.
Whoosh another Fire Emblem game down

It was AMAZING! Even if Celica isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer lol. I think the voice acting really help flesh out the character. The final battle, oh gosh... It was so Intensely good! Just... Speechless. Except for the map design. That could've been fixed @JaxonH
I must say, so far I really really like it. I like it more then Fates for some reason. To put it into perspective: I have only played Fates a few hours so far, while I am 30 hours into Echoes. I like the story, the voice-acting, that you control 2 armies and that there is a actual map (I really missed that in Fates). Also, everything looks super-polished. I only would have liked more cutscenes, and there's something about the battle animations (can't put my finger on it, something's a bit off. It still looks strong though). This game is actually a big contender for 3DS game of the year, so far (in my opinion). To be honest, I don't see Samus returns topping this!
My biggest complaint was that reinforcements would spawn on the map way too frequently and unnecessarily slow down your progression. I learned too late that you had to fully complete the "main" boss of that spawn point to prevent that from occurring, but I much preferred alternating sides.

When you are at a Mila-statue, there's the option "Mila's turnwheel". Select that, then select memory-prisms.
As for the post-game: I found one of the sea-battles to be ridiculously difficult, thus I failed. But strangely when I tried it again later there where a far smaller number of enemies. And those enemies where a lot easier. Beat the stage without any trouble. It seems its random, the amount of enemies you get on that stage (and the difficulty). I am now in the last dungeon (or at least I think its the last).
I'm back to this game. Is there some kind of teleportation formula as the sluice gate battle is proving to be impossible while teleportation seems like enemies can teleport anywhere on the map.
@Tsurii It was normal mode losing no units and keeping the woman alive. I got very lucky and managed to surround her when she didn't have enough HP to attack.
I prefer playing Fire Emblem without battle animations. It saves time but that's not the only reason I turn them off. It makes it easier to keep track of the entire battlefield. Those sequences interlude with your strategic flow so to say.
Well I finally got hold of the game. I have to say, I'm absolutely loving this. I think this might be my second favourite Fire Emblem game, after Awakening.
It's incredibly well made. The only bad thing I can find to say about it so far is that the maps are incredibly repetitive.
