I really wanted to like him because I like all the main characters, but I just kept wishing he was any of the people he was trying so hard to be.

In a nutshell, this. I'm at a crossroads when it comes to Awakening. I love playing the game, fighting the risen and the potential world set up. Most would argue this point (and they probably will!) but where they'd say Robin/My Unit/Avatar was a weak point. I found Robin a better selling point, as a character, than Chrom.

The same goes for certain members of Chrom's Shepards (which they felt like a lesser appealing adaption of The Greil Mercenaries). I didn't have that sense of bonds between all of them as much as the game alluded to it. Robin was really the one running around, trying to learn everything about everybody, as both strategist and as a person, as it gave (to assign Robin a gender to avoid being vague) her a purpose. Even moreso when she's without memory of her years before joining the Shepards.

I'm conflicted about Lucina and the other children just as much, since without the First Generation... They wouldn't (though again, it's debatable) be as interesting from a story perspective since we'd lack what makes them appealing in the first place (death of their parents, the world on the brink of hell, etc).

I think that if they spent a little more time on the game, making more supports between connecting characters (to name a few, Flavia, Basilio, Olivia and Lon'qu, who're all from Regna Ferox, and they can't support?) and making the Final Five Paralogue chapters interconnect for backstory and even more supports outside of the Outrealm. The game could've easily competed with Tellius for this Anon.

They dropped the ball so hard on those last two points.

Both comments have opened my eyes as to why I felt so 'meh' towards Chrom. I couldn't put my finger on it, but now I know! It's because he's trying to be all the other lords at the same time.

Thanks to both of you, anons!
