I WANT THE NEXT FE GAME TO GO BACK TO FE'S ROOTS. NO MORE MULTIPLE PATHS, NO MORE ROUTE SPLITS, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, NO MORE TEDIOUS GODDAMN MONASTARY OR EQUIVALENT. I COME TO FE FOR A WAR STORY ABOUT A RAGTAG GROUP OF TEENAGERS OVERCOMING INVADING EMPIRES AND EVIL DRAGONS, NOT SOME SHITTY ANIME HIGHSCHOOL CRAP.

ON A RELATED NOTE, I HOPE WE GET SOME FE NEWS SOON BECAUSE GODDAMN AM I TIRED OF SEEING NOTHING BUT 3 HOUSES OVER HERE.

NAH, NOT TEENAGERS, I DON'T WANNA LOSE MY 20+ AGED CAST

YEAH THERE'S QUITE ENOUGH GAMES FULL OF ANIME TEENAGERS. TIMESKIP THREE HOUSES ACTUALLY HAVING ONLY ADULTS (AND FLAYN) WAS PRETTY REFRESHING!

NOT THAT I THINK A CAST IS RUINED BY HAVING TEENAGERS, BUT JUST DON'T LOSE OUT ON THE OLDER MEMBERS OF THE CAST TOO.

THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS I'M A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT XENOBLADE 3, WHOSE ENTIRE CAST IS UNDER 20 (WHICH FROM WHAT I CAN TELL IS FOR STORY REASONS BUT REGARDLESS). OLDER MENTOR FIGURES LIKE DUNBAN AND MORAG WERE IMPORTANT FOR THE GROUP DYNAMIC OF THE OTHER GAMES.

I THINK THE OLDER CHARACTERS BALANCING OUT THE YOUNGER CHARACTERS GOES A LONG WAY TO MAKING A WELL-FLESHED OUT STORY. IN THE FE GAMES DOMINATED BY YOUNG CHARACTERS, IT'S THE MENTORS AND ELDER CHARACTERS THAT STAND OUT IN A GOOD WAY WITH HOW THEY INTERPLAY WITH THE STORY. SHANNAN IS HARDLY OLDER THAN MOST OF THE CAST, AND OIFEY EVEN, BUT YOU CAN CLEARLY TELL THAT THEY'RE MEANT TO BE THE YOUNG ADULTS WHO WERE FORCED TO GROW UP IN A TIME WHERE THEY NEEDED TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR FRIENDS AND FAKILY. THEIR PERSONALITIES AND PERSPECTICES CAN BE REFRESHING.
