Apparently that's not worthy of a ban.

However, don't you dare call him out on defending pedophiles because that'll get you a suspension right away

I'm absolutely SHOCKED that a Japanese dating sim would have female children emphasizing how young and underdeveloped they are.

This is unheard of.

I don't see any in this topic. The most anger I see is from that guy who hates Anna's new voice actress.
To be fair the guy implying LGBT people are pedophiles isn't much better.

Maybe Byleth's age isn't brought up in all the routes?

To be fair, the romance in this game is almost nonexistent. It's heavily toned down compared to Awakening/Fates where it's literally a pivotal gameplay feature due to the second-generation characters or Three Houses where they go full Persona with the social aspects. The support system is much more comparable to the pre-Awakening FE games, and the option to S-support (and marry, for the characters 18 or older) is only a late-game thing and basically has no gameplay significance at all.

I'm pretty sure TC purposely mistranslated that last panel. DeepL and Google translate are both are coming up with a different translation.

They translate it as the girl saying, "With you, I think I can become the best peddler in the world. Someday, when I meet my family... Let me introduce you to someone important to me."

This would make sense for a long time fan to recognize, but not those "mainstream casuals" that were referred to.

For example, I would suggest Awakening topped off because of good character design and accessibility on one of the most popular platforms of the time.

Also "the waifus" doesn't mean "the romance mechanic". You don't need a romance mechanic for people to go nuts over the characters, ship them, make art of them, etc. It will happen regardless.

To nothing, it was my first SRPG. That's how ass it was, you can tell it's ass regardless of your knowledge or skill level.

I haven't played that one since it's Japan-only (most people here probably haven't) but I do know it had a "second generation" system like Awakening/Fates did. It's not a regular thing in the Fire Emblem franchise by any means, just in a few specific entries and mostly in the newer ones.

BloodMoon7 posted...

Exactly, and Fates had crappy gameplay too outside of the Conquest route which was decent. The core strategy gameplay that longtime (pre-Awakening) fans got into the series for was ripped apart in favor of putting more effort into the romance and waifu aspects. Three Houses was a bit better in that regard, but it still felt like more effort was put into the social aspects than the core gameplay.

Engage is the first time since the pre-Awakening days that the core gameplay actually feels really good and enjoyable to me, and I'd much rather have good core gameplay and mediocre other stuff than mediocre core gameplay and good other stuff.

There's no need to get so testy about this. Quite frankly, Awakening's mechanic is less romance and more eugenics, when you think about it.

Well let me put it this way. You haven't disproven that my suggestion is the reason, so perhaps we settle on "we may never know".

In terms of the Three Houses romance angle.

Weren't the only romantic options for Byleth the older characters? Like I know there were legit children characters before the time skip but they weren't romantic options after the time skip were they? I can't remember as I think I only romanced one of the characters closest in age.

Nope, all of those younger characters became of-age and able to be romanced after the time skip.

Fire Emblem is known to remove any waifu elements or anything pandering to lolicons in the West.

This was completely removed in one of the earlier titles for western audiences:
