Etrurian emperor Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 3 hours ago, Anacybele said: For me though, it just bugs me that I tend to like the less popular ones but dislike the popular ones. Personally I find it rewarding to be the only one to see value in a character. Unless they get screwed over and destined to never get added in Heroes of course. Though for Sylvain that kind of thinking doesn't really apply. He doesn't just seem popular relative to Three Houses characters but even ranked in the top 10 of the entire series.

vanguard333 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Please bear in mind that I've only played Crimson Flower and Verdant Wind so far, and that this top 10 isn't actually in any particular order: Edelgard Petra Ashe Linhardt Lysithea Marianne Hubert Rhea Dorothea Bernadetta Honourable Mentions: Ferdinand, Flayn, Seteth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contribute that more to recency bias and not being in Heroes at the time more than anything. He does have a version in Heroes now, even if it's a seasonal one. I highly doubt he's going to rank that high again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Emblem Fan Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 If I took out Yuri, because DLC, then Felix would probably be my #10. Him or Flayn. 7 hours ago, Etrurian emperor said: Oh wow! Just LOOK at all those people mentioning Alois! I never saw that coming. I rarely hear people talk about him and I always assumed that being a chubby old man means you're destined for unpopularity in this fandom. I just assumed I was the only Alois fan out there. Yeah, same! I pretty much never hear anything about Alois. He's one of my favorites, for sure. He's one of those characters that I feel like would be a joy to be around, he has such positive energy. I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slyfox Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 10 hours ago, Anacybele said: Yeah, but liking the less popular characters means your favs get less attention in the long run in stuff like merchandise or games like Heroes. Look at all the Edelgard and Black Eagles bias due to her being the most popular of the three. Claude and Dimitri don't get as much attention because they're less liked despite still being popular. Still, I do try not to let it bug me too much, yeah. And then there's people like me, the Leonie x Seteth fans. It's a cruel, cruel world we live in.

drattakbowser Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) No one mentioned Byleth. Byleth Lysithea Ingrid Sylvain Caspar Marianne Annette Raphael Lorenz Seteth Honorable mention : Dorothea, Felix, Hilda, Leonie, Flayn, Catherine and Shamir. Dishonorable mention : Edelgard, Dimitri, Claude, Jeritza, Yuri, Balthus, Constance and Hapi.

Seteth Honorable List: Hapi, Felix, Leonie. The order does not make much sense for me, I just like them all in their way. And it could change any day again.

lenticular Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 In terms of playable characters, there are a few that aren't getting much love, but the only ones I'm not seeing at all (unless I've missed something, which is very possible) are Gilbert and Anna. This does not surprise me even a little bit. One character that I am a little bit surprised not to have seen anyone mention at all is Jeralt. He's not my favourite, but he's a decent character who gets a lot of screentime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your own students just get so much screen time, at least enough to flesh out enough of a personality to make you want to use them, compared to faculty and what not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not my favourite, but he's a decent character who gets a lot of screentime. I have Gilbert on my list. I liked him after doing all of this supports on a second playthrough. He a very grounded character, and I appreciate him a lot for it. I think he's one that quite often missed, because, it's normal to be salty over losing Dedue. And I think he comes across as quite boring without going into supports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not my favourite, but he's a decent character who gets a lot of screentime. I love all Annas, but Anna in 3H is little more than a bonus character, so it's no surprise to have her missing. Plus, since she's in nearly every FE, it can feel strange to have her on a list of favorites for a specific game. Like, if you asked people what their favorite Sword/Shield Pokemon are, it would feel weird for anyone to list Pikachu. Yeah, it's in those games, but it feels like that defeats the purpose.

Crysta Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Mercedes got second in the BL popularity poll, losing only to Dimitri. Marianne got second in the GD version, behind Claude. Serenes Forest loves it’s nice healer chicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyfox Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 The church crew is the only faction where I consistently like each character, including Gilbert, Jeralt, heck, even Byleth (avatar issues notwithstanding). But, the students get more screen time and development overall, and I had to keep my list to ten people. Gatekeeper is amazing, but I have to draw the line somewhere. Next I'll be nominating random student #3 from month 5 as my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
