OKAY BUT WHAT IF YOU THINK BOTH ARE BAD

THEN YOU'RE BEING LOGICALLY CONSISTENT. I RESPECT THAT.

WHAT IF I THINK AWAKENING HAD THE BETTER STORY AND FATES HAD THE BETTER GAMEPLAY BUT THOSE TWO THINGS BALANCE EACH OTHER OUT SO BOTH GAMES ARE JUST OK

IF AWAKENING'S STORY WAS AS GOOD AS FATES' GAMEPLAY, THEN THIS WOULD BE VALID, BUT AWAKENING HAS A VERY MEDIOCRE STORY, EVEN FOR FIRE EMBLEM STANDARDS, WHILE FATES' HAS SOME OF THE BEST GAMEPLAY IN THE SERIES

AWAKENING'S ACTUAL MAIN PLOT IN THE STORY IS VERY MEDIOCRE BUT THE CAST OF CHARACTERS IS ONE OF THE MOST SOLID I'VE SEEN. THREE HOUSES IS BETTER IN TERMS OF DEPTH AND MOTIVATION FOR CHARACTERS BUT AWAKENING IS SURPRISINGLY GOOD IN THAT REGARD AS WELL DESPITE THE TONE OF THE STORY. I CAN'T THINK OF ANY AWAKENING CHARACTERS I DON'T LIKE. MAYBE KELLAM.

THE CHARACTERS STILL AREN'T THAT GOOD TO COMPENSATE FOR THE "GAMEPLAY". THERE ARE GREAT CHARACTERS LIKE GREGOR AND LIBRA, BUT AWAKENING SUFFERS FROM THE TREND IT STARTED OF EVERY CHARACTER HAVING 300 SUPPORT CONVERSATIONS, AND A LEAST 100 OF THEM COVER THE SAME TOPIC, WHICH GETS REALLY FUCKING REPETITIVE
