Japanese Tales Fans Vote Their Favorite Tales Protagonist In Recent Survey

Recently, a Japanese website called NetLab was hosting a fan survey. They were asking Japanese Tales fans to vote for their favorite Tales protagonists. The poll went on from January 21, 2023 to January 28, 2023.

There are a few things I want to note before I reveal the results:

1. This is a fan survey, so yes, Yuri is legible to be voted.
2. Just because your favorite is in the bottom ranking does not mean people hate them. They’re all beloved.
3. Do not be hateful, please. Just because a character you don’t like ranks higher than a character you don’t like does not mean you should act like a whiny brat.

Now on with the results. I will go from top to bottom with the amount of votes the characters have received and will add in one comment that pertains to them from the website; note that the comments are all in Japanese and I am using Google Translate to translate them into English, so there will be awkward translations. There are 1793 people that participated in this survey.

1. Luke fon Fabre - 425 votes

Comment: “I was touched by the way he desperately ran around while facing himself after overcoming various hardships and shocking facts. I love you, Luke!”

2. Yuri Lowell - 303 votes

3. Sorey - 128 votes

Comment: “Playing the game, I was moved by the appearance of a strong-willed protagonist who not only welcomes the world, but also continues to walk forward even on a difficult road with eyes to the future. My favorite and precious game and its main character.”

4. Reid Hershel - 115 votes

Comment: “I played each series and I like Reid from Tales of Eternal by far. At the time, I was shocked by the main character’s personality and his CV: Akira Ishida. Still the best.”

5. Lloyd Irving - 114 votes

6. Velvet Crowe - 98 votes

7. Ludger Will Kresnik - 92 votes

8. Alphen - 85 votes

Comment: “I liked all the main characters in Tales, so I am at a loss, but Alphen. I really liked the way they all grasped about the future without losing sight of the goal until the end, even though they had some troubles along the way. He’s basically human, but he’s strangely short-tempered. I like it very much.”
