Iris Lost to Tifa Again: Japanese Gamers Name Their Favorite Video Game Heroines

Fans spoke up about the characters they liked most. Once again, a distinctive rivalry unfolded between the heroines of Final Fantasy VII.

The results of a poll conducted by the Japanese gaming outlet DenFamico were recently released. Participants were asked: “Which game heroine did you most want to cheer for? (felt compelled to support)”.

The list included not only Final Fantasy heroines — respondents also mentioned characters from Persona, Tales of, Xenoblade, and Ys.

It turned out that three heroines tied for eighth place (they appear to have received the same number of votes).

• 8. Kasumi Yoshizawa (Persona 5 Royal)
• 8. Melia Antiqua (Xenoblade Chronicles)
• 8. Velvet Crowe (Tales of Berseria)
• 7. Dana Iclucia (Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA)
• 6. Jill Warrick (Final Fantasy XVI)

• 5. Shionne Imeris (Tales of Arise)
• 4. Yuna (Final Fantasy X)
• 3. Colette Brunel (Tales of Symphonia)
• 2. Aerith Gainsborough (Final Fantasy VII)
• 1. Tifa Lockhart (Final Fantasy VII)

Earlier, in a poll about the best women from the Final Fantasy franchise, Tifa also managed to edge out Aerith.
