In Marth's games and Gaiden, Archanea/Valentia feel like such huge places to me that I was surprised by the sparseness of everything on Awakening's world map, which gives me more of a feeling of "hum-de-dum, let's just traipse across the entire continent(s) in a few steps to get to the next glowy spot" than "our heroes continue carving a path through the land...".

Concerning the second-generation characters, it's disappointing how non-integrated they are with the plot. I expected "Marth"'s identity to not be revealed for at least ten chapters and slowly become apparent as the child characters are recruited, but... I dunno, maybe I'm just used to GBAFE where there's an obligatory chunk of introductory generic bandit chapters before getting down to the nitty-gritty. Still, I enjoyed the story as I played through it... especially because about halfway through Valm, I trained up everyone and then just destroyed the rest of the game. Maybe not as satisfying as hard-fought victories, but still quite fun the first time.

I've still got lunatic mode to play through, but it's so "Frederick Emblem" in earlygame that I'm not sure if I want to bother to continue.

I felt that only L+ is Frederick Emblem lol, the other chars still actually stand a chance in Lunatic xD (source: exp)

on the story: I wish the child chars actually mattered in the main story moreso than just providing extra insight on what happens to the current chars in the future................So does EVERYONE (IRL) inherit their mother's wedding rings, or is it just an FE thing lol?
