There's a limit of five poll questions. You'd have to take away one of the participants' votes for this to work. But if we did vote for top three favorite and top 2 least favorite, it could prove more manageable for people who have a hard time showing up daily. And when a game is placed on the list remove it from all five polls (including all the people still voting for that game. By clicking vote options, you can change your vote on each question.

Oh, I see.
Somehow I thought this limit was lifted after the upgrade, but I was wrong apparently.

Also you can't edit your polls easily. At least before the upgrade there was the issue that all the users who voted for sth. which has been removed after a while, they couldn't give a new vote because their old vote was still saved in the poll somehow. Idk if this has been fixed.

Which is slightly amusing since I'm pretty sure it made the most money by a long stretch before Awakening came along.

3pt Path of Radiance - For some reason it's low difficulty never became as infamous as Sacred Stones. It's Hard mode may well be easier than sacred stone's hard mode, even if it's normal mode is thankfully above sacred stones normal mode. Also I always feel like Ike is showered with money which is pretty ironic given he's the only non-royal protaganists. It doesn't help that he gets more bang for his buck than any previous lord since forging is at his disposal. I also kind of feel like the community has put the game in an echo chamber- while laguz/forging/skills are nice, I actually see this game as largely continuing the trend of  stale mechanics from the GBA games: especially map design/enemy placement wise. I do like the story and characters though. 

2pt Radiant Dawn -  RD and Binding Blade are what what I refer to as the medium difficulty FE games, and more or less have the most substantial hard mode changes of any game prior to Shadow Dragon. However, I do feel that both of them front load the difficulty, as later chapters/maps, even in Hard mode, don't really make you scramble the way that the early ones do. Radiant Dawn is more guilty in this regard with most of chapter 4 being completable by the newly recruited laguz royals as well as designing the first few Chapter 3 Greil Mercenary chapters as a deliberate victory march. The questionable BEXP from PoR also makes its ugly return.

1pt Binding Blade - After leafing through Birthright's Lunatic mode 2 week ago, I've actually grown onto Birthright a little. I thought that having the difficultly start on later chapters would be solely a detriment, but then I considered how let down I get in say, FE6 C8-14 and again after the route merge, or RD Part 4. In some ways its refreshing having an easy earlygame and a hard late game.

Well then... all of my top picks ended up in the Top 5, so it just leaves the worst for me ( which hasn't changed. Had I played FE13/14 then FE6 probably wouldn't have featured on my list of worst FEs )

Worst:

3 points: FE9

2 points: FE10

1 point: FE6

I can't really justify putting Conquest here due to its awesome gameplay, and the rest of the games I've played have been chosen.

I'm surprised by how divided people are on Binding Blade and Path of Radiance. Radiant Dawn and Awakening I already knew, but not the other two.

Huh really? Even more than Awakening and Fates? I guess people really bought games in the SNES days.

Yeah, awakening sold like 500000 copies, fates sold about 600000 and FE3 sold about 780000, according to famitsu.

of course, fire emblem started selling way less starting with thracia and then even less with path of radiance, so the 3ds games were a huge return to form there and as much of a success as they were in the west.
