[Pirouetting Nightmare]

You don't need to know any of the history or anything to start playing. Awakening and Blazing sword, just throw you in and go 'oh you have amnesia, oh you are a great tactician, sorry no you seem to be glued to my arm' lol I've played heroes and I never sacrificed anyone either but eventually had to get rid of it because I didn't have enough memory to keep downloading the new stuff all the time.

But I recommend Awakening and Blazing Sword to anyone that's never played a game, to be their intro. Such good games. Lynn, and Hector will always be my favorites.
