My point is that nearly EVERY freaking Fire Emblem cast is filled with one dimensional characters. Nothing about Awakening is at all different then what went on in Path of Radiance or as far back as the original Famicom games.

You have your stock turn coats like Jill and Henry who help humanize the enemy with their former relationships with other characters.

You have cheerful dumb muscle like Devdan and Gregor.

Young mages that try really hard to matter but kind of suck gameplay wise because of when you get them and how much you have invest getting them experience for a average reward like Tormod and Ricken.

Grumpy sticks in the mud that help lead the hot blooded main character like Soren or Frederick or depending on how you play him or her your avatar.

Can't really compare anyone in Awakening to Naesala, save maybe Aversa, but if you think the recruitable confident rogue forced into doing bad things is something that started with PoR you are woefully missing out on a number quality RPGs and SRPGs that were released before 2005.

Plenty of the characters in POR were deep, or at least not cliches like everyone in Awakening.  

Jill was a noble girl, who idolized her father even though she was a bit evil herself, he wasn't.  Henry is just a typical shockgag dark humor anime character.

Gregor and Vaike were literally the worst written characters I've seen in a RPG in a while.  Devdan had a dark side, you have to recruit him and only reason he does is because of his soft spot for children. 

Tormod was a badass rebell kid who liked the Laguz, and Ricken was a typical weak underconfident mage who wants to help.

Fredrick  =   Typical authority figure and guardian.  Well mannered and distrustful.  That is his whole design.

Soren=   unconventional, racist, dark, brash, rude and only opened up to like 2 people throughout the game.  More deep than everyone in FE:A.  

I've seen Naesala like characters in other games, but regardless he is still probably the deepest character in the FE series.  How he gets with the other bird girl and everything.  And honestly after hearing you comparing  the characters with similar roles makes me 2x sure as how bland Awakenings characters were compared to the games with Ike in them.
