      No, it’s the second one on SNES. Genealogy of Holy War.

        Ah okay. I am new to Fire Emblem, what was so special about this one, if you don’t mind me asking? Or is it just a personal favourite.

          Considered one of the best in the series by a lot of people in the fandom. Had a pretty dark story compared to other games in the series, even the newer ones. To elaborate more would spoil some stuff but know there’s more death and more mature themes. Probably why Nintendo is avoiding a remake. I suggest getting the translated rom and playing it. If you like Fire Emblem you’ll like it for sure.

            Thanks for the info and recommendation, I am going to add it to my list.

            I am pretty new to FE. First FE was Heroes, which I only played a little bit, next was Three Houses, which I liked but not the monastery parts. It’s still on hold due to TotK. After finishing Three Houses, want to give Engage a try, but before that going to try the GBA one, coming to NSO later this month.
