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.

Isn't *insert family member here/ hero of lore* has gone missing, it's up to you to defend/reclaim the kingdom up there? You could take many of the stories and say the same thing, it's all how they're executed. I think Awakening is pretty well executed. Heck, a few Fire Emblems have this same exact premise.
