so i assume that some people just want to hate everything new....
Alm and Celica are fine... they arent perfect but they are fine for what they are in the games they are...
I didn't see Alm being overpraised... on the contrary.... he is hated by the white haired dude and characters are only fond of him because he is supposed to be the son of misen... when they learn he isnt they start doubt him and he has to regain their trust... well IS should make him a commoner and not turn him into the king's son but i didnt mind it that much since it made some sense with duma's / mila whole plot....
I dont find celica's decision to sacrifice herself as idiotic... the only issue i have is that she should have taken a guarantee that it will work or way better IS shouldnt make it a lie! That actually hurt an otherwise great character journey...
Anyway i found both of em so harmless... same with chrom.... now lucina is anotehr thing but people actually praise her instead of hating her obnoxious ass....
