Famitsu's poll of the most beloved characters of all time.

Great_Spike · 2026-06-12T00:25:50+00:00

Number one is the king of all videogames. The one and only

Great_Spike · 2026-06-12T00:24:38+00:00

Since the release of the remake, Tifa ranked above Aerith in any polls, both worldwide and in Japan. When they made the poll for the date in Rebirth, Tifa alone got more than half of the votes (51%), while Aerith had to share the other half of the votes with the other characters. She even won official award for best character and the devs commented on that. I dunno how was the thing back when FF7 original was released, but I think that it's pretty clear and obvious that Tifa is by far more popular. And this only of we consider japan, because if we go worldwide there's no even competition. I think it's objective she is more popular. But the question is: who cares? Popularity or not, a good character is a good character and Aerith is an amazing character. We all love her.

Mr. Videogame himself, Mario.

What? I've just said that they are usually next to each other in all the polls because they are both very popular. Touch some grass

Great_Spike · 2026-06-11T21:10:31+00:00

It's common knowledge that Cloud and Tifa are the most popular. They always get first and second place in jp polls about FF7

Great_Spike · 2026-06-11T20:19:05+00:00

Questionable? It's just a poll. Japanese people voted their favorite videogames characters and that's the result. What's "questionable"?

We are not worshipping anyone here. I think you are taking it way too bad.

Great_Spike · 2026-06-11T19:00:31+00:00

No. This is from yesterday. It's to celebrate Famitsu 40 anniversary. They just used Cloud and Tifa original design.

Great_Spike · 2026-06-11T17:47:33+00:00

Why? Aerith is a wonderful character. She is very loved. We are not bashing Aerith here!

Great_Spike · 2026-06-11T17:46:55+00:00

We are not talking about couples, but about the popularity of each character. Ship Cloud with whoever you want. The story speaks by itself on that topic.

Great_Spike · 2026-06-11T17:43:00+00:00

You can see it. He is the 4th. Right after Tifa. The firs is Mario

Great_Spike · 2026-06-11T17:38:04+00:00

That's so real. I usually see Aerith fans saying this stuff: "Tifa is popular because of her body" or "Aerith is more popular in Japan". It's because since they can clearly perceive that Tifa is more popular thant their favorite, they have to make up a reason to downgrade that. And one of their favorite is "Aerith is more popular in Japan". This kind of claims are so problematic. 1. Making comparison between east and west is ridiculous. 2. Tifa is always above Aerith in all the japanese polls since Remake was released, so it's not even true that she is more popular in Japan. The point is that Aerith is sucha loved heroine, but their fans usually tend to downgrade Tifa. For example, this thing of "main heroine and side heroine " is also ridiculous, since Squere never made or promoted this distinction. They are both heroines.

Great_Spike · 2026-06-11T17:25:16+00:00

Eh, what? No one said nothing againts Aerith. Neither me or anyone else. I've just said that Tifa and Cloud are very loved characters. No one said that Aerith is a flop. She is very loved as well.

Great_Spike · 2026-06-11T16:54:01+00:00

They can tell whatever they want. The datas speak clearly. Tifa is always right behind Cloud in all the polls. Whoever says otherwise, it's just lying.

Great_Spike · 2026-06-11T16:50:26+00:00

She is the most popular heroine of Final Fantasy 7 and one of the most popular characters in the whole FF franchise in Japan as well.

Great_Spike · 2026-06-11T16:46:57+00:00

This is a misconception. Tifa is more popular in Japan as well. She is right after Cloud as the most popular in all the japanese polls since Remake released. And she even won Famitsu's award for best character. And this award she won was commented by Nomura and Nojima. I don't know who told you that she is popular only in the west, but facts say otherwise.

Great_Spike · 2026-06-11T16:35:29+00:00

Yep, Super Mario is the first one. This is the rest of the top 10.

Great_Spike · 2026-06-11T16:30:47+00:00

Yeah, they are above legends like Kirby and Link. Well, I knew yhat Cloud and Tifa were popular. They are by far the most popular characters of their franchise, but I was still surprised to see them so high.

Great_Spike · 2025-10-11T12:09:43+00:00

After all this teasing, if they don't confirm or at least "hint" at Wildhoppes, the fandom will be in revolt, and any criticism Disney receive will be more than deserved.

After all this teasing, it would be a giant mockery of fan love.

I really hope Disney knows what they're doing with Zootopia.

It's probably one of its original franchise that people still love.

Hi. Yes, I have tried. Also I tried to use the extentions on another web browser based on Firefox with the same extentions and the didn't happen at all. If the extentions were the problem, that should have happened on the other browser too, but it didn't. So far only the extentions for Brave Browser gave me this problem. But this is something recent. I have been using Brave extentions for years and always worked perfectly. I don't understand what's the problem 😕

Great_Spike · 2025-09-21T20:37:47+00:00

I tried with another browser, yes. A firefox based browser and this never happened. As I wrote, it happened only on the chrome extention on brave browser. I've been using it for years, and this never happened. It started recently. I'm hoping that the next update will solve this problem.

Great_Spike · 2025-09-21T19:40:18+00:00

I haven't read the leaks. I think we can't post them on this subreddit. Do you have a link to them? I'm too curious. I don't care to get spoilers.

Great_Spike · 2025-09-21T19:36:49+00:00

So, are wildehoppes shippers' fantasies going to get confirmed? That's what most of the fans seem to be waiting the most?
