Woah a Gamecube game!!! Thracia is the super late SFC release right? I'm reasonably sure I will dig them, although the series-long focus on and mechanics around relationships and bloodlines is kinda...
Yeah, Thracia had a 1999 release lmao - originally on this Japan-only flash card format.
I forgot to mention the 3DS remake of FE Gaiden - Shadows of Valentia. It's super fun and pretty. It also doesn't have the whole cishet romance and have kids thing in it.

Surprisingly, this is mostly from Awakening snagging a popular feature from Genealogy and making it super cringe. It's a little less in your face in Genealogy since the Support conversations didn't come into the series until the GBA games. Your little chess pieces just tick off invisible points and contribute (stats, gear) to a unit for the second half of the game. If the cishet-normative stuff puts you off, I'd double down on my rec for Gaiden or its 3DS remake lol.
