I think my biggest problems at this point are....well, the obvious one is that the story is boring, I don't think that controversial. I can get over that though, Shadow Dragon wasn't exactly rivetting, but all the lame supports and tropey character stuff actually kind of brings it down more than if that stuff wasn't even there at all.

Far and away though I do NOT like how easy it is to just do anything you want. In Three Houses, yeah you can get wild with the units, but unless you're going out of your way to devote a ton go time to wierd monetary stuff they've got a pretty narrow field for that first playthrough. Here though....fucking...whatever, it's like I'm playing FF7, anyone can do anything and I don't really like it. There's no unit personality in this game whatsoever, and when I say that I specifically mean gameplay personality.

Levelups aren't interesting because everyone does it like 60 times and can reset back whenever. Like, wow I got a full spread level up, whoopdi fucking doo who cares? It's a mess of near meaningless numbers to me.

Compared to Radiant Dawn, where I'm going bloodshot staring at the screen trying to psychically will Sanaki into another point of strength for her tome weight.

I've put hours into Olivia and have her set to become a full Swordmaster skill spread dancing super Saiyan, and I care less about her than I do Callil who I did not even use outside of forced deployment. Hell, I care about her less than Tormad, a unit I actively disliked, because at least he has unique quirks to make him memorable as a unit.

This is actually my #1 complaint about Awakening and I think it's really important. I also think it's why I ultimately feel better about Fates and 3 Houses too, because they go back to differentiating units through personal skills and limited classchanging.

I don't really use any of the simplified stuff. The more stats, the better. I do think Fates's UI is so much better than Awakening's. It just looks a lot nicer and it's really good especially for the stat penalties from daggers.

Birthright -> Revelations -> Conquest might be the way to go? Finishing with Revelations feels disgusting.
