The people have Voted Emperor Peony as the Ultimate Tales Sexyman! After a surprising victory against fandom fave Yuri, Peony's momentum could not stop. Despite never being playable and only appearing in a handful of scenes, his charm, level headedness, chill mood, and quirky love for his pets secured him a spot in people's hearts all across the fandom.
Congratulations, Peony!
And thank you everyone who voted and participated along the way! I've had a lot of fun hosting this and if anyone had fun following the polls, then this was a success. I hope to see you again in a few months for Tales of Sexylady!
Full results below.
There were a total of 278 votes in the final round. In order to win, a character would need to get a majorty of 1st place votes - 140. In the first round of voting, I looked at only first place votes, and the results were:
Eizen: 88
Peony: 90
Gaius: 67
As you can see, Peony was already in the lead, but he didn't yet have a majority. In this case, Gaius was tragically eliminated as he had the fewest 1st place votes.
Then, everyone who ranked Gaius first had their second place vote converted into a first place. With votes redistributed, I counted up the new totals:
Eizen: 101
Peony: 107
With a 6 point lead, Peony took the crown!
As I said earlier, there were a few instances of questionable voting. I eliminated votes based on the standard rule that if there were 3 or more ballots in a row, submitted within 30 seconds of each other, with the exact same ranking, I eliminated all but one of them. Some of these may have been legitimate coincidences, and for that I apologize and hope they wouldn't have changed the outcome.
Only counts the number of works that used a wrangled canonical romantic relationship tag linked to the "Tales of Xillia (Video Games)" fandom, hence this is not technically a total of all ship fics in the fandom.
Numbers were fetched between March 8th and 9th 2023.
I did not put that much effort into this and may have screwed up somewhere, so don't take this too seriously.
Total number of romantic relationship tag uses: 929

Breakdown by party member:
Points I found neat:
Most tagged poly ship: Alvin/Jude/Milla (14 fics)
Most tagged Tales crossover ship: Kasque (Crestoria)/Milla (5 fics)
