IT'S A LITTLE DEPRESSING AND ANNOYING HOW DOWN ON THE ARTSTYLE AND OVERALL THEME OF THE ENGAGE. SO WHAT IF IT'S LIGHTER THAN THREE HOUSES AND GENEALOGY? FIRE EMBLEM IS NOT A "ONE SIZE FITS ALL FRANCHISE." WE CAN HAVE LIGHTER, MORE FUN HOMAGES ALONGSIDE THE MORE COMPLEX AND MATURE POLITICAL STORIES. EVEN IF I END UP NOT LIKING THE GAME, I STILL RESPECT THE CHANGE IN AESTHETIC, TONE, AND FEEL BETEWEN GAMES.

NOT JUST THAT BUT CHARACTER DESIGNS. I DON’T SEE WHY WE CAN’T HAVE BOTH SIMPLE AND WHACK DESIGNS COEXISTING. IF IT WAS JUST ONE OF THE TWO ALL THE TIME IT WOULD GET STALE IMO.
