[@derpity-moons3575]

I predicted that characters like Yae, Wanderer, Raiden, and Childe would be high on both the least favorite and favorite lists. For them, it's sort of a you hate them or you love them situation, since most people either LOVE morally grey characters with complex characterization and interesting lore or hate them because *cough* war crimes. Yae would also fit into this list because you either love her crafty personality or want to kick her out a window. So basically, they have an equal amount of haters and... lovers.... (Oh god no) because it's just kind of a switch on whether or not you like the more morally questionable ones. Oh. And if you actually understand their story and characterization (please I've died more times than the amount of Samsara loops because of horrendous takes on these characters).

[@sakurahirawa]

Hu Tao being number one was pretty predictable. I'm surprised that Ganyu was so low on the "favourites" list. I'm also surprised that Itto is the second most popular male. I thought for sure it'd be Xiao.

[@xurru9736]

Ganyu fell off a lot since with release of Dendro the Freeze comps are very weak now due to Abyss having mostly bosses and not big amount of enemies with low hp to oneshot. She is also quite the boring "always tired overworked girl" stereyotype, and her gameplay does not suit most of people (especially the mobile users) I am not surprised she is low, she was only popular for high damage, like Hu Tao, but at least the latter had a whole event to boost her popularity even more

[@gachagamer536]

As a male, I'd choose dudebro over emobro any day, I think that's a factor on top of women's taste in husbandos. Itto is just that charismatic regardless

[@hectorlackless]

About Xiao and Itto take also in account the channel has Itto as its favorite character so the voters may be a little more likely to also like the character.

Gameplay-wise, she has a lot of flaws, but she's pretty cozy to play with against boss enemies and small enemy groups. Especially ones that move around. Personality-wise, she's just a sweet gal that likes making people smile. Not super high on my list, but she does land around #8 or #9 for me.

This is a really well edited video. I particularly like the elemental graphic effect for the pie charts. Makes looking at statistics a little more fun.

[@proximaeon]

I think that the reason why certain characters are high in the "Least Favorite Characters" has also been influenced by the interpretation of certain characters in Fan-works and the groups in the fandom that almost share opinions, like possibly Aether being low in favorites but high leas favorites then his sister could be of interpretation that his character is given in certain fan-works (like the Aether Harem, such horrible thing, it ruins his character) and even factors like gameplay or even just disliking his design. For example, in the 2022 Touhou Popularity Poll, by the surprise of everybody, Flandre Scarlet ranked in the Top 1, this being thanks to her return and sudden role as the protagonist that fixed the incident in Touhou 17.5 and the music video Internet Survivor, while in other Popularity Polls, Reimu and Marisa were always number 1 and 2.

Also, 8k is TOOOOO narrow a sample, incomparable with community or hoyolab active, there little sense to create any statistics based on it

[@kazekori9593]

@@user-cmcumm Lmao thats not how statistics works. I only learnt a bit about sample sizes as part of a research project i did a while back but essentially the larger the size of the population you are trying to determine, the lower a percentage of that population you need. You still need more obviously but it increases much slower than the actual value. This is because as the number of samples increases, the accuracy exponentially increases as opposed to the linear increase of the population you are trying to test. For example with a sample size calculator i found online, for a confidence level of 95% with a 5% margin of error, 500 needs a sample size of 218 while 500k needs a sample size of 384. Genshin's 50 million monthly playerbase only needs 385. Its actually crazy how accurate small samples are. (Technically its massive since 385 is a big number but 50m makes it look small)

[@Trickster1399]

Kokomi and Albedo are my favorites by far (hard to choose one). To see Albedo where he was compared to other popular characters as a favorite was really cool! Overall, really awesome spread of stats

Wut??? Dori is most hated by a lot? That really surprises me. She's my healer/battery for Beidou and I been working on her quite a bit, she's quickly becoming my favorite coop character. And her with the event elemental mastery sword? So much fun.

[@marlowemarynowicz5296]

I would like to congratulate Kaeya on being the best rated 4* in favourites list (and on beating his brother on both lists)

[@angelgear39]

I think I can explain Dori's position a bit, Being.... She's just not got a lot of likable traits. Her role in the story quest was scamming us, like you mentioned people find her JP VA grating, there's people who don't like how stereotypical and culturally insensitive her design is, and she doesn't have a place in the meta... That's a lot of things against her. It's not like she's a bad character exactly, just doesn't really have anything people would like her for. Personally, I don't feel that way towards her. Mostly because I don't really have a least favorite Genshin character lol

[@FurinaPininfarina]

@@mrrayreptilesOVERx It's so noticeable, tbh. Zhongli had a official Rex Lapis Dragon plushie that have been on sale for a really long time. No need to mention about his in-game full form dragon's appearances. Meanwhile Kokomi's in-game constellation format are literally sea dragon, and her constellation name were called "Dracaena Somnolenta" which can be translated directly into "Sleeping Dragoness".

[@hex3head]

I love that eula pretty close on liked and hated. Community living up to the lore itself :) she's still #1 though idc what anyone says ❤️‍🔥

[@-Pakman-]

I’m honestly really surprised Raiden shogun didn’t win most favorite like she normally does in public community votes. It’s a pleasant surprise to finally have a new winner.

[@minscandboo9749]

As a Xinyan main, I don’t understand how she can be so hated… She is so wholesome, was great in all the event stories she was part of and her kit is super fun to use when you build her properly…

[@zamebowsomething5698]

true

[@Axterix13]

She sings horribly, though. Her song in English was so bad, it breaks the immersion that she's supposed to be a popular musician. And, well, personally, didn't care for her trip down memory lane either in the summer event. But I do like playing her, and her personality outside of events.

[@bazah23]

Tbh I don’t care about her but will never chose her as a disliked character

[@anemofungus]

I love Yoimiya and Nahida being so high in favorites and so low in least favs ❤

[@zuupmummy6357]

I feel bad for Dori. She is honestly a fun character to play and she's a pretty good healer tbh. Anyways, my favorite is a tie with Xiao, Mika, Yelan, Cyno, and Nilou And my least favorite is easily, even though he's not playable yet, Dottore

[@francenkovcan5211]

popularity has influence, if a character is forgotten, they will usually get less votes then somebody in public conscience

[@kylec8015]

Fantastic editing! The results were unexpected. I think weighing the favorites by their unfavorite placement would be interesting!

[@moskthinks9801]

Glad that Nahida is high on the fav and low on the disliked, unlike the other characters who are high on fav and disliked simultaneously

[@spacetwiga9058]

Wanderer being the number he is in favourites feels like fate 🕺🏾

[@shauryasuri3653]

i think a better way would have been to have people create a ranking from 1 to 64 from most favourite to least favourite. assign each place points like 1st place gets 64 points whereas last gets 1. then add all the point for each character and find out the exact ranking of every character.

[@RADZIO895]

Much less people would vote because it'd take a lot of work, I doubt it'd even reach 1000

[@LightshaverConstellation]

Yeah. I think this was the best way for a sample size but positions as an optional second form called more detailed ranking could have made been alright. Though it's hard to say because I know my top 5(Eula, kewing, Fischl, Ganyu, Venti) and my bottom 3 (Dori, Shenhe, Nilou,) but ranking where I would put like childe or Sara I would have no clue for 90% of filling it out.

[@devanfalcon2043]

What on earth happened with Dori? I voted off personality rather than gameplay, so I chose characters based on how interesting they were to me. I feel a lot of others didn't do that lol, poor Dori

[@phosyphos5192]

[@zorro8256]

[@optimistic.pessimist]

What I got from this is that meta isn't necessarily a huge proponent in most favorite characters but it is for your least favorite. I can't really think of a reason why Xinyan would be #2 otherwise (unless her english va lol).

[@kison7715]

some dislike her design too, especially her hairstyle

[@juiyersh3668]

@@kison7715 I loved when she took off her hairpins in the summer cutscene. On another hand, she said she had them bc she wants it and don't care about being disliked by others for her personnal choices. It would have been a more meaningful lesson if her kit wasn't so bad...

[@kison7715]

@@kison7715 the other issue is her presence is only in limited events, which prevents new players from living deep moments with her.

I actually like her English Va, though I like Xinyan in general. I do perfer the hair down hairstyle a lot more even though idm the current hairstyle.

[@Noobimummo]

As someone who ended up voting Dori as least fav char, the only reason why was because I couldn't REALLY find any character unlikeable and yes even Dori. I felt like I was forced to vote someone and Dori was a char that hadn't much of screentime so she ended up with a vote.

[@arccanyne9097]

Yoimiya being top 3 in favorites and then just 58 in the least favorite is just amazing. She deserves all the love in the world. But in reality, it's probably just in this community, no way she's actually more popular than Raiden, like, that's cap, even as a Yoimiya Stan. The only not surprising thing about this list was Hu Tao being #1. Like, she's got everything in her favor, quirky personality, being from liyue and having great voice actors make an amazing character, as much as I don't like to admit it. Amazing vid and I'm glad I was part of getting Yoimiya to that spot.

[@crudlucasconsigliere4084]

I mean, she's certainly better written than Raiden, so there's that in her favor.

[@cyntdestroyer69xd]

Raiden is far more hated by some people, and Yoimiya has very little to no negative things to be said about her. Even tho I like Ei, but imo, that's not surprising.

[@meakimon]

3 month late question here! The music in your videos are always fire! Where do you get the music, do you make it yourself??

[@Fallen-MH]

At first I didn’t understand why some characters got so high on the disliked list but then it clicked that there wasn’t a criteria by which to judge the character, like story, personality or gameplay so when I keep meta and losing 50-50 in mind it kind of makes sense now

[@GRIT171]

As one of the voters for Yaoyao I chose her because I have been waiting for her to release ever since she was shown in an illustration with Qiqi back in when the game came out

Completely unrelated but hearing Xenoblade music spread out into so many videos is satisfying as a long time fan. Truly a game with a masterpiece of a soundtrack. If anyone was wondering what the songs used in this video were: Frontier Village and You Will Know Our Names.
