Makoto Yuki/Protagonist (Persona 3) - Low fodder

Dragon Quest VIII/Persona 3 pretty much taught me no amount of greater publicity for Persona in general will necessarily be of much benefit to Persona 3 and with how lackluster even Yu's been, I think he'd definitely need that to be working for him to break out of low fodder.

Persona 3 Portable having an alternate female protagonist probably isn't a huge issue but it doesn't exactly help him. Also, not even really have a real name.

Faris Scherwiz (Final Fantasy V) - Low fodder
Suicune (Pokemon) - High fodder

I feel like Crystal version is sorta irrelevant compared to GS. It's sales aren't terrible on their own but they're pretty bad relative to Gold and Silver. The game hit at a bad time in Pokemon's popularity on an outdated console and just didn't do enough to immediately differentiate itself. The reader and critic reviews here are worse than G/S despite the game itself being marginally better. The Thing On The Box of Crystal is probably not going to be on the same tier of strength as The Thing On The Box of Silver or Gold. And HeartGold/SoulSilver means a lot of people playing from 2010 skip right past The Suicune Box game.
