As an older fire emblem fan, I remember seeing a ton of posts enraged that Titania or Mia didn't get in the top twenty in the FEHeroes polls, but nobody was complaing about Caeda not making it, and Caeda is an infinitely more important character to the series.
Even in this thread, you'll see Dragoncat's post that specifically mentions the Tellius and GBA eras, yet conveniently ignores the SNES and Famicom Eras, and yet complain when those people ignore the GBA and GC/Wii eras.
edit. Not picking on you Dragoncat, just wanted to use an example of how era based the fire emblem fandom is.
