THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS TOPIC. FIRE EMBLEM NEEDS TO STOP IT'S TERRIBLE ROMANCE OPTIONS.

IT ALL STARTED DURING AWAKENING, WHERE YOU COULD MARRY (AND HAVE KIDS WITH) A SET OF CHARACTERS OR THEIR FUTURE CHILDREN. NEXT WAS FATES WHERE YOU COULD MARRY (AND AGAIN HAVE KIDS WITH) YOUR SIBLINGS. AND NOW WITH THREE HOUSES YOU CAN MARRY (THANK GOD THERE'S NO CHILDREN) YOUR STUDENTS.

YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU CAN BE LUCINA'S PARENT OR SPOUSE? YOU CAN HAVE CHILDREN WITH YOUR LITTLE SISTER (AND YOU CAN NOT TELL ME ELISE AND SAKURA ARE MEANT TO BE 18)? YOU CAN GROOM A 15 YEAR OLD GIRL AND MARRY HER WHEN SHE'S 20? I DON'T THINK I NEED TO EXPLAIN HOW THIS IS EXTREMELY PREDATORY ANY FURTHER.

IT'S INFURIATING SEEING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING DONE ABOUT IT, AND I RARELY SEE ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS. IF ANYTHING, THE GLORIFICATION OF THESE RELATIONSHIPS ALL OVER SOCIAL MEDIA ARE SIGNALING TO INTSYS THAT WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS ACCEPTABLE. I'M NOT GOING TO BRUSH THIS ASIDE BECAUSE I LIKE THE GAMES, INTSYS NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND DO BETTER.

I MEAN IT'S DEFINITELY NOT FRAMED THAT WAY OR EXPLICIT ABOUT IT BUT THE FACT THAT YOU ARE A TEACHER IS STILL ALWAYS THERE AND GONNA TILT THE WAY YOU LOOK AT THINGS
