Story is mostly just there to advance the gameplay. If you've played any JRPG in the last 20 years, you know what to expect here. It's not necessarily bad, but it isn't all that interesting, which is a bit disappointing after Vanillaware had a much stronger story in 13 Sentinels. Fortunately, they keep everything relatively brief and to the point, so you aren't stuck watching 20 minute cutscenes of a boring story after every battle.
If you are a strategy fan, I strongly recommend the higher difficulties - I struggle on hard difficulty in most Fire Emblem games, but breezed through hard difficulty here without any grinding.
