Felt like this needed it's own topic because we are still doing this in 2023 apparently. This is kinda blowing up on twitter rn. What I'm talking about is the FE character named "anna". She has many incarnations, but in this game she is "11". Why is this a problem? Well, read the right side text. That's the original romance text apparently. The MC appears to be grooming the 11 year old girl? I haven't made it that far yet.
Why do these games even have to go there with the creepy stuff for? Im glad the western localization team came through as the MVP but you have to wonder why this even came up in the original as an idea in the first place? ERA, I swear to God... of all the times you all use the "C word" (Creepy) you better use it now. Because. this. is. yikes. š¬
Update:
GSR has done the ERA investigation:

Alear: Anna, today's Lover's Day, right? How's your new merchandise selling?
Anna: Heheh, it totally sold out!
Alear: Really!?
Anna: Really! It went flying off the shelves!
Alear: Congrats, Anna!
Anna: It's all thanks to you, Divine Dragon!
Alear: Still, I would've liked to see some of it for myself...
Anna: Well, actually... I did hold one back. Here.
Alear: Whoa, this is really well made! I can see why everyone wants one.
Anna: You can keep it if you like.
Alear: Huh? But...
Anna: That one wasn't for sale anyways. It's my best work, made just for you.
Anna: I'd be happy if you took it.
Alear: Your best work? Are you sure I can have it?
Anna: Ugh, you're slow. Think about what I'm trying to say here!
Anna: Today is... a very special day, right?
Alear: !
Anna: I'm still a kid, so I guess I'm a little too young for a day like today, but...
Anna: Let's just call this a symbol of our friendship!
Alear: Haha. I'm glad. I'd be happy to have it. Thank you.
Alear: Here, you should take this in return. The Promise Ring.
Anna: Huh!? Why would you give me something so important?
Alear: It's because it's important that I want you to have it.
Alear: It's too soon for you to be anybody's lover, but... we can still be partners, right?
Anna: That's true... I mean, we're already partners who've made some amazing new merch together!
Anna: Thank you! I'll happily take this ring!
Alear: I'm glad too.
Anna: Alright, I'm gonna be real busy from tomorrow on!
Anna: I've gotta reach out to an expert and start mass production on that necklace!
Anna: After all, a necklace with the Divine Dragon on it is gonna sell like hotcakes!
Alear: You never miss a business opportunity, huh Anna? I'll be cheering you on as always.
Alear: After all, I am the great merchant Anna's partner.
Anna: If I've got you on my side, I really could become a great merchant, huh. Someday, if I can find my family... I'll introduce you as a very special person in my life.
[Their Days Together]
They spent their time together happily swapping ideas for new merch and looking for the next big hit. They celebrated the anniversary of the day they became partners more joyfully than even their own birthdays. The ring was a bit too big, so she tied it on a chain and wore it on a necklace.
[Shared Ending]
The Divine Dragon Alear ascended as the new Divine Dragon King. The strong bonds he formed with his friends across the world led to a new age of peace. His partner Anna found her family after the war. After she grew up, they created the merchandise she'd dreamed up with him and became a world-famous saleswoman.
