Is there a reason why FE1 got left out of the playrate poll? I hated that game and am curious to know how many others suffered through it out of sad completionism despite Mystery of the Emblem having existed well before anyone in the west had played either.

As flawed as Shadow Dragon is, Mystery of the Emblem having a higher rating strikes me as misguided, especially with New Mystery existing; but, that result could be blamed on SD having quadruple the playrate.

Binding Blade having a higher playrate than Radiant Dawn is definitely not what I would have guessed - and in the latter survey Radiant Dawn outright won favorite game despite that! I guess once you get deep enough into fandom, the percentage of people willing to emulate if they have no other options to play the game in English is pretty high.

Interesting that Hector > Lyn remains true for the protagonist poll. I had thought that one was obvious but over the years people doing stuff like getting Lyn into the 2013 Character Battle or hyping up the possibility of playable Lyn in Smash had made me doubt myself a little and figure maybe my expectations were out of whack due to the FE7 board being so weird about Lyn. Aaaand now I look at the first survey again and see Lyn beat Hector on the"favorite in all of Fire Emblem" question. Huh.

Yay for 3-13 Archer getting a vote. I assume people have forgotten Gheb, Batta, and Glass at this point? Guess those were mostly gamefaqs-centric jokes, though.
