I'm assuming that since the Tellius games are the newest in the franchise, than they should at least try to match their quality. I'm so sick of nintendo's 2 steps forward 3 steps back approach to their sequels. Also the characters in ALL 3 of the GBA games are deeper in story and characters, and they don't rely on basic mainstream anime character archetypes to make them like awakening. I'm sick of how emphasis on the waifus and how you're pretty much forced to read the poor writing. And I know that some of the older games were weak in plot and story, and most of that was due to hardware limitations and trying to make the text all work well in a handheld.
The Tellius games are the newest, so like I said they should do this thing called "progress" were they keep everything that work well, and add more. In awakening's case they changed the gameplay for the better but the plot and characters suffered hard because of the new direction.
Notice Tharja's face. Look at how large her head is, her overly amplified facially expression, the lack of realistic shading, her hair has the typcial anime shine effect, her eyes are big regradly of how she's snooping them. No details in any of her clothing.

At the end of the day I think it is to appeal to a larger crowd. The gameplay is (as you mentioned) improving, and the story I feel is at least of equal quality. I have no problem with them going with an anime style younger crowds connect with.

Agreed with the gameplay part, and that's really what matters most at the end of the day, but I disagree, this is one of the weakest stories in the series by a large portion. Time travel? Change fate? Did they just google "generic fantasy story" and reworded the first 2 results and called it the story.
Still wish the art wasn't so simple and anime-ish.
