This was the first year I was able to vote for Sophia, pity that it didn't last long xD. I want to make sure Marth/Eirika win this year and don't fall again. Next year I'll be full of Sophia/Nino votes... I hope this doesn't age badly.

Sounds about right, I think the results so far will match the expectations, though I'm curious how high Yuri and Gatekeeper end up.

I imagine the reason why Gaiden and Mystery are present but not Shadow Dragon: For Gaiden: Grandfather's clause, it was used in the first CYL, so it stuck instead of being completely replaced by SoV. For Mystery: Mystery of Emblem for all intents and purporse represent an important milestone in the franchise's story, used to be the best sold Fire Emblem in Japan, and effectively being considered the most succesful game prior to Awakening's and Three Houses' success (the latter could have finally bested Mystery's record considered the sales trends), and for many people is considered the actual Mystery of Emblem instead of New Mystery (unlike SDatBL that was effectively replaced in canon for Mystery and Shadow Dragon).

Keep winning Nino!

I imagine the reason is because of how iconic Tiki is to the franchise (and because of that we has gotten several Tiki clones and even another Tiki in TMS), Adult Tiki existence depended exclusively in the original's popularity. I imagine that is why IS sees her so differently despite don't be so different popularity wise from the OG. She is an off shot carried since it's creation.

Uff, that was a massive tie xD

Oh? Wait, how fixing the battle exactly affects Seliph?

I believe Chapter 12 did fine use of reinforcements because they come from obvious places (stairs and the beginning of the stage when the turn limit for the Weapon is near).

Well, a simple way to know how much their position was affected for more than just the character we need a bit of context, a good example is Legendary Edelgard, a character that without a doubt is very popular, but her release date's results were muddled for a combination of two connected factors: A weak offer (besides Edelgard herself the Golden Week didn't have... anything actually remarkable, probably a side effect of pushing very hard for the Anniversary Banner the week prior) selection in a very busy time (Golden Week), and how most of the relevant competence had stronger offers.

I believe the specific problem of Fates in that regard is how hyped it was for everyone, the Game had such big and interesting concept to talk about. Compared with the Archanea Games that have a smaller scope or Awakening that it was a bit too obvious the Game's narrative was gonna suffer at some extent for it's own nature of being a celebration Game.

Oh I can still vote for Sophia xD

With Marth was more important because he was going against the trends of it's time; though his legacy with the series definitely ended up getting him some semi clones (Roy being the most obvious one); creating the Lord Archetypes.

The Double Banner gave me Caeda and Sylvain in the first circle, I'm happy with getting Caeda, Sylvain is a nice bonus, I'll wait until the last day then to know if I try more.

This Game mode has a serious balance problem, though nothing that can't be fixed in the future. The enemy combos shouldn't that high before the final rounds. And the Game should have hard limits in how much Units the enemy can have and how powerful they can be (depending the round of course). That is all. Still more fun than the other Game mods IMO despite the sudden Power Spike

Just give it a few more days, everyone will forget it after the New Heroes reveal in the Sunday's Night.

Considering how there aren't exactly many popular picks left it makes sense to include other characters as the anchor. It kind of amazes me in hindsight how FE6 managed to get 2 banners without any "but" of them despite their only big carry being the Priestess

I read some time ago about the idea of making a Dokkalfar Niles, it would be kind of hilarious, but considering how... Well... He is... so... Him... he would actually fit xD

I kind of like it. She looks very cute, but damn, she is so smol xD.

Well, Volke in particular is probably the most ninja-like of the pre-Fates assassins. With his reputation of appearing from nowhere if you "summon him" and getting the job done, not matter what or how. His outfit also helps selling that image.

I'm sure it's impossible to Iron Man Three Houses unless you have perfect knowledgre of the game and a lot of luck. Any lose is too Big, any lose can happen so easily.

Louise does as far as I remember. Though is only mentioned very late in the Game to avoid being forced out of the fight.

This makes me wonder something. They had editted the credits in the Virtual Console re-releases and in the Switch version of FE 1 to remove his name? It would be extremely awkward because he is the Main gameplay designer, the scenario writer and the director of all these games (well, he wasn't the director in FE1, but anyway, my point is clear xD)

And Micaiah is at the top :3

I can definitely buy Thales doing bullshit considering he's the baddest of the slitherins, and he later prove to have magic powerful enough to throw Byleth without much effort. --- Alm has Light Novel Protagonist/Kirito syndrome

It was an interesting year for sure, we never had so much representation for most of the games, every region was represented, and that is awesome... It makes me wonder what exactly October and November will have? After all there isn't game with a +1 year hiatus now. Also... Duo Ephraim pretty much feels like a FGO Limited unit xD.
