In Fire Emblem Fates the incorporation of this mechanic has a somewhat flimsy connection to the plot, as it is never really explained how it is possible for the Fire Emblem Fates children to
fight alongside their parents, aside from the fact that the protagonists hide their children in pocket dimensions in order to protect them.
Not exact matches
New characters arrive regularly and it quickly turns into a complete mess of children coming back from the future to
fight alongside their young
parents and random people arriving from alternate universes.
While these child characters are interesting (and often times amusing) I would love to see a gaming franchise create a story across decades, where the player character's children
fight alongside an older, wiser version of their
parents so that their inclusion seems at least somewhat plausible.
