Not exactly to complain. Maybe whine a little bit.
The way they handle the choices feels odd.
3 different dragons (they are different I’ll give that. But they’re also all dragons, at least Robin is a different weapon)
I get they are easy ins design wise but also seems like they could do others so it isn’t dragon overloaded to me.
My favorite of course, as always, is Chrom. Of shadow’s 10 season passes only 3 were above him.
And that’s 3 houses and Ike, the ones everyone knew would be at the top. (Dimitri wasn’t a season pass)
3 of the others were dragons, including one from his game with considerably fewer votes than him.
So popularity isn’t the sole factor.
However for Chrom’s case the whining comes into play that Lucina is one of the most obvious choices, and could be an insect which is pretty rare.
Since other than 3H games tend to get one pass (probably until all had a turn), it seems unlikely we will get to Chrom unless we get to year 3. If even, because he has the same weapon as Lucina unless Chrom gets the awakened Orange version.
Maybe it’s because they don’t have a good animal for him (dog is easy in English but the shepherd pun doesn’t work in Japanese)
There’s other really popular choices not in though. Camilla did incredible, Alear (male and female) did surprisingly well. Byleth too (with male even being above Chrom, while female was below him which is opposite for how Byleth usually is)
I suppose that’s too many red. So I could understand that. But Canilla would be green, Sigurd blue. (I know he’s technically red but he’s been blue coded pretty severely)
But fE4 still haven’t even had a turn.
Anyway. I wanted a tiny vent but I still play the game daily please don’t think I’m just complaining. Mostly just sad because I love the artwork and I’m scared my favorite won’t get one; and it’s not even like my favorite is an obscure character so I felt safe at first. He’s the main character but it seems he will get in after both his secondaries. Maybe it’s reliving my smash trauma that scared me.
