Taken from Anime News Network's The X Button Column As RPG publisher Falcom's 30th anniversary approaches, Good Smile Company plans to turn three Falcom characters into Nendoroid Puchi toys, those huge-headed, tiny-bodied, high-quality little figures familiar to many anime fans. To decide on which trio to immortalize in Nendoroid form, Dengeki PlayStation put up a poll that asks us to choose our three favorite Falcom faces. The anime-toy industry being what it is today, all of the choices are female characters; not even Falcom's most recognizable creation, Ys franchise hero Adol, is allowed on the ballot. Nevertheless, it's an extensive chronicle of Falcom history, picking just about every major character from Ys and Legacy of the Wizard up through Vantage Master and Gurumin. The Link to the full article can be found here , and the link to the choices are news.dengeki.com/sp/falcom30th/for the choices, and ssl.asciimw.jp/dengeki/sp/falcom30th/ for the actual form. It's all in Japanese, so I don't know all of the details. I thought someone would find this interesting, and maybe even be able to enlighten us on the questions in the last link. |

I'm kinda happy to have the poll links highlighted in their own topic. I've already missed one day's chance to cast votes...

The current top 20 heroines as of 9th May: (Some names might be slightly incorrect for various reasons) 1 Renne (Trails in the Sky) 2 Estelle Bright (Trails in the Sky) 3 Feena (Ys I) 4 Tita Russell (Trails in the Sky) 5 Noel Seeker (Zero no Kiseki) 6 Lilia (Ys II) 7 Leah (Y I) 8 Elena (Ys: The Oath in Felghana) 9 Kloe Rinz (Trails in the Sky) 10 KeA (Zero no Kiseki) 11 Princess Cecilia (Trails in the Sky) 12 Rixia Mao (Zero no Kiseki) 13 Anelace Elfead (Trails in the Sky) 14 Alwen (Zwei II) 15 Ries Argent (Trails in the Sky) 16 Parin (Gurumin) 17 Mail (Popful Mail) 18 Geld the Moonlight Witch (Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch) 19 Tia (Ys SEVEN) 20 Chris (Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch) ( Source) Still 3 weeks to go. Top 3 didn't surprise me much due to the recent Ys and Sora polls on Falcom's site, although I was worried Feena might not make it in. Now I know who to spam votes for... |

Predictable Japanese pedophiles  I should say I'm more surprised Tita isn't #2 yet. the 3 I've been voting for made that list. Now I wish I could just toss all 3 of my votes on Elena to get her in the top 3. |

The three I've been voting for made it in the list too, with Feena amongst the top three~! Yay!  the 3 I've been voting for made that list. Now I wish I could just toss all 3 of my votes on Elena to get her in the top 3. I wish I could do that for Lilia! But I'd rather have Feena up near the top too... :/ ....And I doubt Estelle or Renne are going anywhere. ._.' *tries to shoo Renne off the top* *gets kicked by Renne fans* X'''D ....Goodsmile should make nendoroid petites of the top ten, not three~! |

I know, I've been voting for her every day and she's not even in the top twenty... On the other hand, Geld and Chris both are so that makes me happy.
As for the top vote-getter, is anyone really surprised? Renne's popularity has been obvious ever since SC came out and she's pretty much a walking, talking shrine to moe. Not to mention the whole 'I have a creepy side, a past you're better off not asking about, a giant scythe and huge robot' thing.

As a Renne fan, I'm personally very happy (though as everyone's said already, her being so high isn't surprising).
...Now I just need to keep voting for Elena ^-^.

These kinds of polls are there to tell me that my tastes are different from that of Japan (only one of the characters I would've voted for is in the top 20).

Never thought that Geld could make it into that list.
I see Tia is alone without Maya. Too bad.

Well, I can take comfort in the fact that two of the characters I spent most of my votes on at least made the top twenty. Alas, Chris and Geld Nenpuchis, today was not your day.

I'll blast a hole in someone's head if Karna doesn't make at least the top 5!

Nice, Kloe is still in the top 10. Towards the end, I thought she might drop off. KeA did.

I know, I voted for her every chance I got. Although I feel bad because it seems like I'm trolling. At least I wasn't alone : P
