Yeah tactical games seem to be much of a console thing. PC games tend to be strategy, although Warcraft is hardly a "military" strategy game by any rights (clone and conquer is fun, but not real strategy). HOwever, thats not to say there weren't any PC tactical games, for example, MechCommander was a real time tactical game. X-Com and such, but not to many. The rest like Civilization, other war sims are strategy.
Well, I don't know, the Fire Emblem characters in SSBM weren't from this game although people all started to think that Eliwood was Roy... close, but Roy is his son, which is apparent in FE6, which I hope they will plan to release. They must, becasuse...
SPOILER
The end is a total cliffhanger that leads into the next generation. One of the spooky things about FE series is that it goes by generations. One game you play as a character, next game they're grown up or you play as their children. The storytelling is kind of saddening and nostalgic in a way if you think about it, with no real happy endings. Characters come and go, permanant farwells, and even important characters just die off, leaving a sense of wanting. Just like with Marthe, in FE 1 and 3, he might have won the war to rebuild his nation of Altea, but it is soon destroyed along with him afterwards. Some characters meet ignoble ends, and some characters whom you got attached to in the game disappear into insignificance in the ending.
