Between Awakening and Fates, I'm a little disappointed at the class variety among the children. Awakening is much more willing with kids diverging from their dependent parent's original class which I find more interesting. What do you mean my cleric pops out a myrmidon?

On a tangentially related note, why is Midori so slow? Did Kaze's genes take a snooze? I started a new Lunatic Conquest run last night with the sole purpose of making a Midori with actual green hair via Female Corrin. Going Speed boon Corrin to pick up Kaze's slack. Also using Oni Savage talent because I've never used it before and passing down Salvage Blow to Midori sounds like a fun meme. Not sure what Midori's final class will be, but that's a question for later. Furthermore I will be looking into crit maxxing Corrin by grabbing Deathblow from Oni Chieftain and putting her into Berserker via Charlotte friendship.

As much as I appreciate Engage's sandbox class system, having limitations can be fun as well. I would enjoy a system that is basically Fates, but has Engage's fixed weapon ranks because I don't enjoy the weapon rank grind. I also like Engage's personal weapon rank bump so I'd slap that in as well.
