I have a certain amount of sympathy with IS regarding the Fates 2nd gen. 2nd gen kids were such a popular addition to Awakening that they must have felt compelled to include it again in Fates, but it just didn't make any logical sense to have grown up kids in the setting they'd created. Any justification they created was either going to be nonsense or contrived.

Having said that, as much as I like some of the 2nd gen, they're a major contributor to one of my main gripes with Fates - far too many playable units. This is obviously much more stark in Revelations, but if it were up to me I would've kept the royals split between versions but cut the dedicated retainers and have the remaining recruitable units shared between routes. So Conquest would look something like Corrin, Jakob/Felicia, Azura, Xander, Camilla, Leo, Elise and then 20 or so units also available in the other two routes.
