Maybe they wanted to play out the title if?

I mean most of them, if not all of the titles in the series make perfect sense with their respective storyline. And maybe if's thing is basically based on the question, "What if?" I mean, isn't this game based on a decision-made storyline?

http://serenesforest.net/fire-emblem-if/4gamer-interview/ This is a more indepth look at the interview as a whole.
Hitoshi Yamagami (the group manager) adds that the Hoshido and Nohr campaigns were not designed to split the game for no reason. Although the first few chapters are the same, the rest of the game–5/6ths of the game–follows a completely different story.

What they intended was not to split the story, but rather make the player choose which side–Hoshido or Nohr–they want to ally with and create a story based on that player’s “what if”.
This quote addresses the "what if?"...
The most likely explanation for this is because of the effect that awakening had on the fan-base, it pretty much divided the Fan-base into 2 big groups more or less.
One side made mostly out of new people to the franchise that prefer playing on Casual, grinding and shipping/waifuing.
The other side is nearly entirely composed of FE veterans that got into the games before Awakening (often called elitists), who really dislike Awakening for the fact that the games focus really wasn't on the strategy part of the SRPG, The story being pretty generic (and full of plot holes), and instead had much more of a focus on matchmaking/shipping/waifuing/fanservice even though it could have been the final entry in the series, yet it failed to capture the "essence of Fire Emblem".
I don't know what to put here, not allowed to post gifs, not even by putting it in a spoiler, so have some empty space:
...yay...?

I totally inb4'd that haha x3

But yeah, tbh if I were to be classified in the FE fandom, if style, I would probably be the neutral one, since I really do like the shipping and the grinding, but at the same time love the strategy, the storyline, etc.

Honestly, even though Awakening is my personal favourite, I think I might do Nohr first. I don't have a real reason for it, I'm also more of a neutral person in the FE community but I just feel like doing that one. Of course I'm probably gonna do one right after another but that's beside the point :v

Picked up Awakening on Friday. At first, I decided to go with casual. So far, my favourite units are Lina (the female avatar, and Dark Knight), Tharja (Sorcerer), and Lon'Qu (Master Swordsman). I've been using the pairing option pretty often, usually with one range (magic) unit, and one melee unit.

Was there a confirmation on what difficulty the neutral path be?
They said in the interview that it's supposed to be easier than Nohr, but harder than Hoshido. They also mentioned that you would be able to change the difficulty in the Nohr campaign.

realise i might probably should spoiler that because idk who's beaten it or not

Spoiler:
The only better father for Morgan is Walhart because Conquest, but you get him too late for it to be practical.

Best mother for Morgan if you play a male avatar is Aversa because Shadowgift.

Welp, here's my pairings on my playthrough as a female Avatar (read: the one where i knew what i was doing):

Avatar/Chrom
Lissa/Ricken
Sully/Donnel
Cordelia/Stahl
Cherche/Frederick
Nowi/Vaike
Miriel/Gregor
Sumia/Henry
Panne/Kellam
Maribelle/Lon'qu
Tharja/Gaius
Olivia/Libra

Anyone else who's not a second-generation character was probably benched. I would've done the kids as well, but then I lost my copy of the game :c I'll probably pick it up again in the future, but not before I at least get Bravely Default and maybe a few other games.

PS: Both Ricken and Henry are older than they look, I tried looking up an actual number but failed.

I actually feel like Ricken is like one of the youngest characters, kind of on par with Donnel tbh. Henry seems a little bit older but he's not really that young haha

I mean I'm gonna buy both anyways. It's too good a series for me to pass up even if they go Pokemon on it. I just hope it doesn't come out for New 3DS only. Hate to have to sell my old one for just fire emblem.
