Hello.
So this topic has to do with both Fire Emblem: Awakening and Fire Emblem: Fates, so I just dropped it here in Fates. I seen a thread like this from a while back, but instead of a poll it was more of an informational text provided to viewers to get a better understanding of Mikoto and Emmeryn.

Anyway! This is where the spoilers start. If you continue to read, do not blame me. This will be the third time I've warned you.

[spoiler=Emmeryn]So, Emmeryn. Emmeryn sacrificed herself for the sake of her people. Even though her death didn't have much effect, she had good intentions. Emmeryn jumped off the cliff to stop Gangrel from having a reason to be against Hoshido. (Sorry its been a while since I've played Awakening theres probably a lot I'm missing). Emmeryn's death was with good intentions yet did not have much effect on what later happened.

Now for Mikoto!

[spoiler=Mikoto]Mikoto was the queen of Hoshido, that is before her death saving her child (Kamui/Corrin). Mikoto notices a shadowy figure aiming at Kamui, without hesitation Mikoto jumps in front of Kamui, shielding him/her with her own body. A few seconds after, she died due to the shadow that took over her body.

Now that the little bit of background information has been given, who's your favorite? I would like to hear from a few perspectives. Those being:

Visual; Who's the best looking only judging by appearance?

Personality; Who's got that special attitude?

Intentions; Who had the best intentions?

Role in the Story; Who did better with their role?

Overall; Who is your favorite overall?

Please leave all of this below! Thanks for your time in reading this and I hope to read a lot of responses!

Honestly? Neither. I guess Mikoto's beautiful and I like her appearance wise, but that's... as much as I can really say for her. Neither felt like they had much presence.

I have an idea! Who's the best: Severa or Luna? o3o

Nice way to say the obvious! xD

Mikoto is almost Emmeryn 2.0 with a few updates and changes.

Visual; I said Emm. I just find her extremely pretty and well designed. I like Mikoto appearance wise too, but not as much

Personality; Again, Emm. I am iffy about her personality pre-recruitment but after wards I just have a lot of feels for her (Thus causing her to be my first FEA wife). I just like characters that are mentally broken, I guess?

Intentions; Mikoto. I think she knew about Kamui being a dragon and all and knew how to make him become one. Also, her sacrifice actually doing something helps.

Role in the Story; Mikoto. I would have said Emm for this if her role is not ruined by her recruitment. Both of their deaths act as driving forces for Chrom and Kamui respectively but the fact Emm was somehow alive ruined it.

Overall; Mikoto. While Fates is not a well written game by any means, Mikoto is a well done character IMO. I like her design, albeit not as much as Emm, and pretty much everything else about her. Especially her class. I am a sucker for Japanese Religion, especially Shinto for some reason, and a miko class just makes me happy. Really the fact Emm is alive in FEA is what makes me like Mikoto more. If she was not then it would be different.

[spoiler=IK spoilers]Also I know Mikoto is also alive in IK, but at least she eventually dies and stays dead.

I guess its time for me to answer my own questions!

Visual; Basing it solely on appearance, Mikoto is my choice. For some reason I am drawn to oriental influenced things, and Mikoto's appearance says that all the way.

Personality; Going with personality I'm once again going to have to choose Mikoto. I choose her because she is like the queen that tries her best but really doesn't care about anything except her family.

Intentions; Intentions, I once again choose Mikoto. This is because Emmeryn sacrificed herself for the well being of something that she should've known wasn't going to stop, Mikoto knew that Kamui would be the only hope for Hoshido and that he would be strong enough to survive. At least IMO it is that way.

Role in the Story; Role, Mikoto once again! Mikoto seems to be more closely involved with the story for the whole 2 Chapters she's in xD. This one was hard because they were both closely involved with the story but my favorite was Mikoto.

Overall; Even with all those Mikoto choices, my overall is going to be Emmeryn! Emmeryn is just bae, and no one will change that! Emmeryn is just so sweet but she just didn't meet those categories, but she is still number 1. Rest in spaghetti never forgetti bby.

Thats all! Those are my choices! My random choices with the most surprising end!

Visual; Mikoto. She's all around beautiful and I like her unique model (and the class itself).


Personality; Mikoto, I guess. We don't see a lot of it but you can feel the pain she felt by losing her child.


Intentions; Emmeryn, because she tried to end the conflict by ending her own life.


Role in the Story; I'll say Mikoto again. Her death is the real kickstarter for the conflict and gives more weight behind Kamui's choice.


Overall; Both had relatively small parts but overall, Mikoto's sacrifice was more poignant to me. A mother longing for her child and dying to protect them is a simple but powerful role, in my opinion. And she's a total babe and I wish you could marry her.

Next DLC wave will let you revive and support with Mikoto. She will reveal that she isn't actually your blood mother and that Kamui was created from a part of Anankos like Lilith.

Don't give them any ideas.

Jokes aside, I'm really glad they didn't pull another "Emmeryn" and bring Mikoto back from the dead. What they did in Awakening was pretty tasteless.

To be fair though, being able to S-Rank Emmeryn was absolutely hilarious for me. What's that Chrom? You're older sister is alive, but with amnesia and the mind/intelligence/personality of a child? I'ma hit dat...

Robin: It was either your brain damaged older sister or your daughter.

Chrom: Yeah, this is marginally better.

It reminds me of that post where it states that amongst M!Robin's potential love interest's are: Chrom's younger sister, Chrom's older and brain-damaged sister, three of Chrom's potential daughters and two girls who are already in love with Chrom.

Just my two cents here

I find it a bit odd, but I voted for Mikoto anyway

(Who knows honestly.......)

But in any case, I didn't really go and count, but I get the feeling that Mikoto has less lines than Emmeryn

(I think....unfortunately I don't really memorize scripts so who knows, it could be other other way around)

I think it might be due to the POV, in this game, Mikoto is directly *your* mother, so ....er, it's more direct, so to speak?

(It might be, unfairly, due to the fact that comparing the voice acting, but uh...who knows...)

Both of them are underwhelming characters at best. Emmeryn gets shilled as this shining paragon against Gangrel (and later Walhart through Chrom's speeches) to the point that can she make an army mass desert by falling off a cliff. Among all other problems, Mikoto is tainted by the Touma junk (namely the twist that Hydra is Kamui's father).

HISSSSSSSS. Theres very few characters in FE (ever) that match the sheer disgust i have for Emmeryn. So comparing Mikoto to her is...barbaric.

Nice way to say the obvious! xD

Mikoto is almost Emmeryn 2.0 with a few updates and changes.

Please dont say that. I highly down Mikoto abandoned her nation by ending her own life because she wasnt strong enough to fucking handle the responsibility of ruling. GODS i hate Emmeryn.

My answer is Mikoto in all things. No one can be worse than Emmeryn. No one.

(Spoiler)

Then again Emmeryn dies after chapter 9. Also consider that she's introduced in chapter 1, the objective in chapter 6 is to protect her.

Going back on Mikoto. She's indroduced on chapter 3, then killed in chapter 4.(Ouch!)

Honestly, i felt Mikotos death more painful. Why? It was pretty sudden, I felt like i was just getting to know her as a character.

Also consider the Avatar him/herself. The avatar represents ourselves. So i just saw Emm's death as like my friend's older sister dying, contrary with Mikoto It was like seeing my/kamui's long lost mother die before my/his/her eyes.

Also let's not forget that Emm's recruitable in chapter 20. and she supports with NOT Chrom, NOT Lissa, but the Avatar, and can be potentially filled with male Robin's baby batter.(Like WTFuck man! :dry:)

But hey! that's just my opinion.

In my personal headcanon, Robin married and knocked up all of them and is the real father of Lucina. It's all part of a plot to break Chrom's spirit for...reasons.

Now that's strategy.

Chrom's younger sister, Chrom's older and brain damaged sister, three of Chrom's potential daughters, two girls who are in love with Chrom, one of Chrom's childhood friends who can possibly marry Chrom, another two girls who can possibly marry Chrom, and if you're a girl, two of Chrom's sons along with his nephew.

Well, it looks like Mikoto is preferred in every category except personality and intentions!

Keep giving me your feedback, I'm hoping to reach 100 replies to get a lot of peoples opinions!

Thanks to those of you that have replied/voted! I appreciate it!

Mikoto, just Mikoto. In every single part. her clothes and haircut doesn't look stupid, she is also prettier. Would totally tap dat milf.
Oh yeah, and her sacrifice actually make sense, unlike Miss cliff.

It doesn't change the fact that like Emmeryn she is a total and complete sue from Mary-sue land, but she's still just way above Em imo.
