So…

In response to my already extreme shipping problem for Fire Emblem Nintendo decided to add MARRIAGE AND BREEDING INTO AWAKENING WHERE YOU CAN MAKE CHARACTERS FALL IN LOVE AND HAVE CHILDREN THAT HAVE SIMILAR CHARACTERISTICS OF BOTH CHARACTERS SWEET JESUS I CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO HAVE THIS GAME I WILL MAKE ABOMINATIONS GOD FUCKING DAMN IT NINTENDO UGHHHHHHHHHH.

If it makes you feel better, this mechanic was already in FE4 (for SNES, never localized), so it’s not completely new.  Given how much FE fans like to ship even in games with little to no paired endings, though, I doubt it could possibly make it any more rampant than it already is.  If anything, bringing breeding back into the series marginalizes non-normative pairings (such as, most annoyingly for me, same-sex pairings), so it makes some shipping harder and confined to fanwork.
