I've read some criticisms on the FE reddit. Some say because of Awakening, we've gotten the games we've had as of now, which is a negative for some in that forum. That it strayed away from the "true" aspects of Fire Emblem just for the sake of getting more sales and all. Then again, its reddit.

Oh, Awakening definitely caused a shift in direction for the series, that much is clear - look at Shikamaru's post for example. That is a criticism Fire Emblem fans do have, but they don't blame Awakening directly for it as that shift in direction only fully materialized in Fates.

I think its more that they blame Awakening for what was eventually to come. After all, it became the best-selling game in the franchise, until Fates. Granted, I have not played Fates and even the things I heard about it don't sound that bad to me, or at least make me feel that the game sounds bad.
