do you believe you can walk on water?

So I was reading, for old time sake (as well as to add onto old !emblanon entries I made years ago) Emblanon... And I stumbled upon this comment thread about Marth in FE12. So you don't have to click the original thread (unless you want to, I can't exactly stop anyone from doing so), I'll just quote the question here:

Why do people keep saying Marth is "crazy" in FE12? I'm just wondering. What kind of crazy? PTSD? Batshit crazy? Is the whole thing just exaggerated for humor in this community?

Definitely the "PTSD" kind of issue-problem, yeah.

The first comment quotes a fan translation of FE12's prologue:

From TheEnd's translation on the SerenesForest.net forum:

***
End of prologue 4 (rather literal translation):

[...]
Elice: Hero King... huh. It seems he's called that way by the people. However, the true Marth is a very fragile, easily hurt child.
MU: Lord Marth, weak...?
Elice: Yes. Indeed, that child faced Medeus in the last battle and won. That child has grand ideals, and a strong will to hold those ideals. However, as you know, you can't save anyone in the real world with just ideals.
MU: Yes...
Elice: As we speak, people may be losing their lives right now in places we could seldom imagine... Marth cannot save them.
MU: But... no matter how great a king might be, he is no god. He isn't almighty. As a human, there's a limit to what he can do.
Elice: Indeed, that's how it is. Usually, people take note of reality and make compromises between that reality and their ideals. However, that child cannot do this... he wants to save everyone, from the bottom of his heart. In the war, if even one of his companions fall... that's very hard for him to stand. He controls it with his powerful will, but his heart is hurt and bleeds as result.
MU: ...
Elice: It's very difficult for that child to keep holding those ideals in this harsh world... MU, if you're to become a knight... please, protect that child. Protect his ideals...

Make of that what you will. Certainly doesn't sound positive for a young adult on the verge of getting married.

Now if you remember me from...the days where I was active in Archanea (and how much I disliked FE12 because of the whole MyUnit thing), you'll maybe remember how much ire this exchange between Elice and Chris (MU) brought me. It is a very, VERY literal translation from Japanese, and thus hasn't gone through any sort of "localisation process" like the official releases have. Taking this as it is, it makes Marth out to be some guy who can't function and acts like a child. That he can't handle reality as it is presented. Sounds like he can't handle being the commander of his own kingdom's military, let alone be king.
