I want to say FE fandom but that would make me an asshole fandom-goer... Oh well. FE fandom, OP? :D

Yes. :)

Micaiah, Eliwood, and Sumia are some of my favourites. It gets difficult.

Even though there are traits of Micaiah's that ring as sue-ish to me, she's a really fascinating character. Probably one of the more complex FE characters, definitely right up there with Jill in the Tellius games. She has to make some hard decisions, and IMO people are just bitter that Ikeypoo wasn't the star at the very beginning of FE10. Boo hoo is what I say.

That said, Sumia's a cutie-pie. (Hehe. Pie.) Eliwood has always been a bit meh for me but he never struck me as very Sue-like, because he really does face consequences of decisions he made in FE7? If that makes sense.

That said, everyone likes to throw the word "Sue" around as like, an insult, so yeah, it's pretty much lost all original meaning. It's one thing to dislike a character--it's another to say they're ridiculous within their own world's restrictions, which most characters are not. Hell, if anyone is Sue-ish in FE9/10, it should be Ranulf, Mr. Heterochromatic Eyes. -_- But even then, he's not, because he's pretty normal by FE standards!

Like most people, I can see why some characters could be considered Sues, but at the same time...it's FE. Everyone has a sob story background and is ~special~ to the main army and all that bullshit. So at the end of the day... Not a Sue. IMO.

Micaiah is just...I think I fell in love with her during her speech to Sothe that she would do anything to save her people and damn what the rest of the world thought of her. I do agree most people disliked her because she wasn't Ike and ignored that we got a female (!) caster (!!) lord with a strong character (!!!). And I love her Radiant Dawn design. One of my favorite pieces of official art in the whole series.

I feel really bad for Eliwood. He accidentally killed his girlfriend! He's the balance to Hector and Lyn too. His growth rates are I think what started the hate on him? Because he's not fantastic at any one thing that is 'top tier.'

I <3 Ranulf too. Only sane man in Gallia's army. Poor guy.

One place where FE really shines is characters and I feel it's a waste of time to call any character there a Sue. It's really not looking deep enough.

I think stat growths really ruined both Micaiah and Eliwood. She turned out all right for me, but not stellar, not compared to most of the rest of the army. But Eliwood is notoriously bad with his stats. No strengths for forever, etc etc. I was talking a while back about how stat growths probably directly impact how people feel about characters, at least at first. It's easy to like characters like Hector who are fun, have a more "modern" personality/outlook, and, most importantly, are pretty much badass right from the get-go in-game.

I agree with you though--FE only really shines with its characters. I don't know anyone who would play the game for any other reason. But people like to spend time bashing characters. It's so dull. Kind of ruins everyone's fun.

I agree , I see Mary Sue used so much....it might as well be, "character I hate".
