Everyone likes to complain about the multitude of Fire Emblem characters, but believe it or not, the FE characters are the ones I consistently see a whole lot of causal non fans enjoying the most.
Heck, whenever I play Smash Bros with other people during parties and such, characters like Ike, Marth, and Roy, are very commonly used, and when I nonchalantly talk about smash with some of my family and friends, they're always like "Oh yeah, Ike's my favorite.".
Looking at the general audience gives you a whole new perspective when it comes to this sort of thing
