I know there's manga and other media to base it off but I've never liked doing that since it is still technically coming from outside the original game. I'm sure stuff like the drama CDs is great but I view that more as supplemental material for fun character development than anything else. Awakening, Fates, and 3H are also all games where I don't see much point in trying to debate what the canon is beyond established lore and general plot. Whether the My Units are male or female shouldn't matter to anyone who isn't some flavor of self-inserter, shipper, likes to argue about petty details.
>the Dragon Gate introduced in Awakening is actually a metanarrative device that essentially says all variations of characters living and dead and pairing or single are canon in some sort of unironic multiverse sense and Heroes heavily plays off this with multiple versions of different characters being acknowledged by one another in game
I'm semi-aware of that which I why I do put weight behind IS insisting there is no "proper" canon of pairings and such in Awakening. It reminds me of id saying that all Doom WADs are canon.
>I wish they did more with this. I love the idea immensely.
I love it too. Since they already really like Chrom/F!Grima and have explored Robin's children being corrupted I wonder if they'd ever give us a Fell Lucina for a darkest timeline kind of feel.
