People love protagonists, and Fire Emblem Engage’s slightly doofy, very endearing Alear is no exception – they’ve taken the top spot in a Nintendo Dream popularity poll conducted back in the February 2023 issue, as translated by Serenes Forest. The Top 25 spots are as follows:
- Alear
- Diamant
- Alfred
- Alcryst
- Yunaka
- Sommie
- Céline
- Pandreo
- Veyle
- Ivy
- Framme
- Etie
- Lapis
- Anna
- Louis
- Goldmary
- Hortensia
- Boucheron
- Chloé
- Amber
- Kagetsu
- Clanne
- Panette
- Fogado
- Vander
The poll seems to favor characters encountered earlier in the game and royals, probably due to greater exposure for both. There are some surprising results from a Western perspective in terms of who’s popular or beloved, though as with any poll there are unseen statistical knobs (age, gender, etc.) that can greatly affect how the results turn out.
The poll is ultimately just for fun, though it may have some influence on who IntSys perceives as popular going forward. Fire Emblem Engage and all its DLC is out now.
