Some Musings on Women in FE
Aug. 8th, 2013 05:41 pmJust to get these thoughts down in one place...
I don't know about y'all but I found little things about the way female characters were handled to be a very off-putting thing in FE13. I didn't like a lot of the Big Things in FE13 either but small disparities really got under my skin. At this point, the high-water mark for the franchise treatment of female characters looks to be Tellius, but it's worth examining the baby steps-- both forward and backward-- it took to get to that level, or even to FE6's level of female empowerment.
( Spoilers for FE1-FE10 )
