The worst part about Fates is the children.
They don't make any sense in the (Admittedly already-awful) narrative. They aren't broken like in Awakening. But, not just those things, but they also completely kill the pacing of the game and give you this giant mess of units you'll never use. Like, I never felt bored doing the child paralogues in Awakening but I guess that's because the game actually tried a little to incorporate it a little and also the game was slow and meandering, it made sense you could go bumblefuck off to somewhere else if needed. Here, it's just tonally inconsistent that you can go kill bandits in Hoshido while you literally just broke through into Nohr's capital or whatnot. The fact all the missions aren't in the slightest interesting and tend to have 'Awakening Syndrome' also doesn't help.
The children themselves are actually rather interesting characters(more than the last game's, I daresay), but my god I wish I didn't play through them. It killed every bit of enthusiasm I had for finishing both games now. I guess I'll wait for Revelation next week and get to chapter 23 there, too.
Oh yeah the other thing I don't like with modern FE is the maps in the lategame are just too big and sprawling. Sometimes, scaling down the level helps a lot to mix up the gameplay experience. Paradoxically, I actually found Birthright better in this so far. Missions like Chapter 18 or 20 were a very helpful change from the usual 'giant open field' maps that the mid-lategames have had recently. Not that I don't mind those open fields, but you need to mix it up sometimes...Natirasha is just a vestige, it's Contessa now.-

Awakening's kids were fine, yeah. My favorites were actually FMorgan, Noire, and Brady. In that aspect, Fates' kids are also fine personality-wise(Forrest+Soleil are my two favorites for obvious reasons), but it's their implementation that helps absolutely murder the mid-endgame pacing and just makes it Not Fun to play. I think I'm not going to do paralogues until ch 26 in Revelation just because of that.Natirasha is just a vestige, it's Contessa now.-

On the Hoshido side, Dwyer and Mitama are like the essence of me. So chill.
Selkie's cool, too. In my game, she's a dragon-fox-human hybrid because Kaden is the second best guy(I didn't know about how cool Azama was at that time, still regretting not boning that snarky old man).Natirasha is just a vestige, it's Contessa now.-

Revelations is such a fucked game. My Corrin/Felicia/Azura were reaching the unpromoted level cap by the time I got any other units, it's stupid. Then they do things like give you level 7 units in chapter fucking 14. I'd heard rumors of the horror that is 'Revelations Odin', but I'm not even there and I'm already crying because all these units are so weak and simply unusable.Natirasha is just a vestige, it's Contessa now.-

Birthright has better gays but Nohr has more interesting characters and Peri.
I wanna go hide in a hole with Setsuna then sleep on Rinkah's squishy fake abs.
Except not really because I wouldn't cheat on Peri.
Also I made a fire emblem romhack and its wild.Natirasha is just a vestige, it's Contessa now.-
