Oh gosh, every game you mentioned, I want! Especially the case with VC 3, I played both Valkyria chronicles 1 & 2 and loved it but was disappointed that the third was Japan exclusive. The language barrier is definitely the biggest factor that has prevented me from playing a lot of great rpgs. I even took Japanese units at university to learn how to read, but I'm pretty bad at kanji so it just takes way too long when I'm reading Japanese, so I gave up =___=" There's nothing like reading in your native language hehe
I don't really dislike emulators but rather I'm kind of indifferent to them. I didn't mind using emulators for GBA and DS roms but it's just not the same as playing a physical copy, I guess ^^ I'm also very lazy when it comes to setting things up, so when I wanted to set up a ps1 emu (mainly for suikoden 2) I was intimidated by all the set up stuff and didn't bother xD I also remember past tragedies where my save data was lost and stuff so I've been a bit paranoid getting back into emulators, though when I used them in highschool...I really used them a lotttt. xD
Fire emblem: Awakening is a great game! I spent a good 300 hours setting up optimal marriage partners and children with the best stats and abilities for them...now I feel like playing again puahaha
