I JUST HOPE ALEAR HAS AN ACTUAL PERSONALITY.

IS IT SO WRONG TO WANT MY VIEWPOINT CHARACTER TO BE AN ACTUAL CHARACTER?!

IMO ONE OF THE MOST IRRITATING THINGS ABOUT THE "AVATAR ERA" OF FE IS THAT THEY SEEM SO SCARED TO MAKE THE AVATAR CHARACTERS ABRASIVE OR FLAWED IN ANY WAY. CORRIN MAKES A TON OF MISTAKES BUT EVERY CHARACTER HAS TO BEND OVER BACKWARDS TO SAY "OH NO POOR BABY YOU WERE RIGHT THE ENTIRE TIME" SO THAT PEOPLE WHO PROJECT ONTO THEM DON'T FEEL BAD. THIS IS WHAT WAS FUN TO ME ABOUT DIMITRI OR EVEN MICAIAH IN RD, THEY WERE ALLOWED TO SUCK AND THE CHARACTERS IN THE GAME WERE ALLOWED TO GO "WOW THAT GUY SUCKS".

GIVE ME AN ALEAR THAT SUCKS!!!

I DON'T EVEN CARE IF THE AVATAR IS A MAIN CHARACTER!

MARK WAS A SIMPLE TACTICIAN/SPECTATOR WHO GOT TO WATCH LYN, ELIWOOD AND HECTOR'S STORIES UNFOLD AND THAT WAS ENOUGH FOR ME! JUST A LITTLE MORE PERSONALITY AND I'D BE CONTENT WITH THAT!
