The Evolution of Fire Emblem's Art Style

An ever-changing art style is as much a part of Fire Emblem's legacy and history as swords and Supports. I can't name many series who have such a clear evolution in their stylistic path, where there even appears to be a direct connection between art style and the success of a game. It's no coincidence that once Fire Emblem managed to find the modern anime style, the games started selling again, only to dip ever so slightly when Engage went in a different direction. Today, I wanna look at the history and evolution of Fire Emblem's art style throughout the ages.
