Everyone has a point here and let me explain why for Nayr:
First, Koopaul has a point. People sprite for passion and they love spriting. Not everything has to be for video games. Some can be for other sorts of media. If this person loves FE style, then he'll keep doing FE style. Some may tell him to switch between styles but he loves this style so much and he'll keep doing it.
But Second, the opposing side has a point aswell. As much as you enjoy your passion for FE style, it'll be done to death before y'know it. This is why artists improve and expand to make their own unique styles of spriting. Fire Emblem sprites are cool but if you keep doing this for the next 1-3 pages, the thread will be ignored and drop dead completely. You've been learning and making Fire Emblem sprites and Thats good. Now you can expand from there and make your own custom spriting style or try a different style.
And Third, i love how people say "This is a spriting forum all based on critique". Well there will be critique in most spriting topics (for the elite pixelists who want to help new spriters) but there is also comments which are kind/descriptive and boasts up the confidence of one spriter to do more spriting if he wishes to continue. If you want to critique, go ahead. But if you want to comment on it if the sprite looks nice, feel free to do so. This is just a community which revolves around all things sprite-related. Not everyone will come here to critique
