History YMMV / FireEmblemAwakening

** With the impending closure of online play in the Nintendo 3DS/Wii U in April 2024, Priam was hit with this status due to the fact that he's the only spotpass-exclusive playable character that never appears in the main story. This made many people, especially those who have a hatred against him, to consider him either as a walking piece of lost media, retconned out of ''Fire Emblem'' canon, or joke that Nintendo had enough with him. He does appear in ''Heroes'', but his appearance there didn't do much to alleviate it.

** [[ShipToShipCombat Female Avatar x Chrom.]] There's no doubt that many liked it, considering that it is the most popular marriage choice for a Female Avatar. However, many others suffer HypeBacklash over said popularity and aren't too impressed by the supports or the way it can overtake the story, or [[DieForOurShip how cruel some of its fans can be towards Chrom's other potential wives.]] The backlash this ship has received has made many people prefer the fanon Male Avatar x Chrom ship instead.

** Maribelle/Lissa and Severa/Noire are the most popular ships for each other on AO3 due to having a very solid relationship in their Supports and in-story scenes, even though you cannot pair them up.

** In the Japanese version, Excellus is a [[SissyVillain Gay Villain]] who is treated as a freak and ultimately killed. Similarly, Hubba makws disgusted comments when same sex results happened in the Hubba tester. For obvious reasons, this was removed in the non-Japanese versions.

* HighTierScrappy: The second generation units, while popular as characters, tend to be seen as so powerful that it makes the game unbalanced, and makes the first gen units almost completely inferior as a result. Each kid inherits stats, growths, skills, and classes from their parents, giving them more versatility, power, and starting strength than either parent, and they quickly outperform their parents with ease. Even kids that aren't viewed as "top tier like Laurent are still going to be stronger than than their parents, making some dislike using them, since they end up so powerful that they make using other units like their parents useless.

*** The sheer amount of people who wish that Mustafa would be a [=SpotPass=] unit (or playable at all) is notable, especially considering that he's a minor character, [[AntiVillain but it's extremely easy to see why.]] Indeed, with very few lines, he establishes himself as AFatherToHisMen who reluctantly goes up against Chrom, in spite of having been moved by [[spoiler:Emmeryn's sacrifice]], because Gangrel uses his family as a bargaining chip. All of this in contrast with his brutish-looking appearance. (Fans would get their wish when he was added to ''Heroes'' as a playable character, and a mod in development called ''Project Thabes'' has the possibility to recruit him among its key features.)

* ShipsThatPassInTheNight: Sumia’s limited pairings have had people yearning for what could’ve been in regards to how she would’ve gotten together with the other men in the game. By far the most common suggestion is Stahl, as Stahl and Sumia are both absolute sweethearts, and Stahl’s appetite and comforting kindness could’ve complemented Sumia’s baking skills and horrible insecurities.

** Nowi is forever dismissed because of her {{Stripperific}} clothing combined with her childish demeanor and physical body, with fans completely ignoring her backstory and personality and the actual depth of her character beyond her appearance. These aspects caused "young-looking dragon girl who is a marriage option" to crop up in nearly every StockParody of the ''Fire Emblem'' series for a while, even though she's the only straight example of it.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation:

** Gregor ranked pretty low in popularity in Japan as well, with his character being a rather standard [[CoolOldGuy Oyaji]] sellsword in their version. In America, however, his character received a [[JustForPun Heavy]] Woolseying into a jolly expy of [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 the Heavy]] (or possibly [[VideoGame/BaldursGate Minsc]]), making him one of the most loved and oft-quoted characters in the American fanbase.

** Female Avatar is this in some circles due to how her male counterpart appears far more than her in other media, where he is often either the primary or even only form of Robin. Also does not help that while she is far from disliked she is currently the only female Avatar in ''Fire Emblem'' to lose to the male version in popularity polls.
