History YMMV / FireEmblemHeroes

** The lack of FinalDeath (there isn't even an ''option'' to enable it, unlike in the 3DS games); longtime fans decry it for its removal going against the spirit of the series and makes the game [[ItsEasySoItSucks too easy]], others ask "Do you ''really'' want permadeath in a 'free-to-play' game with super-rare summons, thus making them TooAwesomeToUse?"

* BrokenBase: The fact that Creator/YuriLowenthal will be voicing a number of characters. Some are fine with it as it would give him a chance to expand his vocal range and don't mind, while others are just tired of how overused a voice actor he is.

* ComplacentGamingSyndrome: Many players will "reroll" (that is, uninstall and reinstall the game, or erase just the game data if playing on Android) until they summon the characters they want with their free 15 orbs.

* CrackShip: Thr trailer shows [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Lucina]] and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Xander]] as BackToBackBadasses. Needless to say, some people have started to ship them...

* EnsembleDarkhorse: The tall, dark, and handsome Mysterious Man quickly earned himself a significant fanbase, especially after his damaged artwork revealed him to be quite the {{Hunk}} under all that clothing.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Many were initially worried about the game carrying over the series permadeath feature, meaning players could potentially lose units they had spent their hard earned stones and/or money to obtain. Fortunately this is not the case and defeated units are returned to the player after the battle no worse for wear.

* WinBackTheCrowd: While the base is still heavily broken on the game, the confirmation that it would feature characters from the ''every'' game in the series, [[SuddenlyVoiced complete with full voice acting for characters who've never been voiced before]], won over some fans who otherwise weren't too interested in the game, especially those who expected the game (and ''Fire Emblem Warriors'') to be heavily Awakening/Fates-centric like [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros many]] [[VideoGame/TokyoMirageSessionsFE other]] [[VideoGame/ProjectXZone2 crossovers]].

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The opening movie is quite stunning to say the least.

* TaintedByThePreview: The announcement that the game relies on [[RandomNumberGod random]] summons that can be bought with real money has turned off many players, who dismiss it as a [[AllegedlyFreeGame "cash grab"]].

** Things only got more heated after Kotaku published a controversial article on the results, spending most of it bashing top male contender Ike (and somewhat Lyn) in an incredibly passive-aggressive fashion. Suffice to say fans of Ike and Lyn were not amused.

* InternetBackdraft: The "Choose Your Legend" poll announced at the 2017 Fire Emblem Direct is the new Smash Ballot for Fire Emblem fans. The fans were flamed when the midterm results were shown, leading to practically ''thousands'' of accusations of "overrated" and "terrible tastes" for those currently topping the lists of males and females. Needless to say, the rift between veterans and newcomers has widened, with each side volleying whatever they can while those [[TakeAThirdOption in the middle]] try to just stay sane.

* RoleReprisal: The voice actors of most of the ''Fire Emblem'' characters who debuted in the 3DS games reprise their roles here. An exception is Hinoka, who is now voiced by Creator/CindyRobinson instead of Creator/ElizabethDaily.
