I'm actually pretty disappointed with the available FE's for 3DS in English. Disregarding the story (who the fuck cares), it seems like Awakening, Echoes, Shadow Dragon (DS) are all pretty poor gameplay wise, whether from a lack of difficulty, proper map design, or balancing. New Mystery may be decent, but it's Japanese only. Honestly, I suspect that Fates Conquest is the only one with truly good gameplay on the 3DS.
The GBAs are really where it's at, they are all very solid. Thracia 776 is supposed to be the pinnacle but the only English ROM is half-Japanese. I'm currently trying Path of Radiance (GC) and Radiant Dawn (Wii) emulated to see how they stack up.
Anyway, see the last page or two for romance shit. At least on Conquest, you can ignore it, or treat it purely as a gameplay mechanic for designing new units, and skip the fluff.
