Fire Emblem's new anime direction (RANT)

Art direction/story can certainly be a turnoff. That's one of the things that turned me off to Final Fantasy... I knew I'd reached the end of my FF career during FF X when I found myself turning the TV screen off during certain cutscenes as the thought of my father seeing it embarrassed the heck out of me.

That seemingly endless scene with Tidus and Yuna playing around in some lake at night with some corny romance song going in the background... That was my limit.

Thankfully Fire Emblem's changes have not yet been nearly so dramatic and they're still great games, but I've been wary ever since ffx lol

Btw, I don't mean to offend anyone who likes the path FF has gone down... If that's you thing then great! The transitions from the sprites and less linear gameplay of NES/SNES to whatever you call FFX on was a bit much for me (though FFXI was fun :D)

So off topic... My bad.

Good post brah, and I agree to a degree.  Final Fantasy X is pretty much the only final Fantasy game like that with all the lovey stuff and hot anime chicks.  FF XII was amazing and got me back into the series.  13 was a dissapointment.

But going through the history of FF, you would know that romance always played a big part in the games, not so much with FE beside one on the SNES, and the characters were never anime-esque to the point were literally every character was a cliche like they are in Awakening
