Earlier today, the Fire Emblem Heroes Twitter account revealed the interim results for the fifth annual Choose Your Legends vote. As of right now, nothing is finalized as there are still a few days left to get votes in. So far, there are more than 600,000 votes between all the candidates seen above.

At this point, it's difficult to say what the winners will be or when the results will be announced. Should the front runner be decided to shift, we'll be sure to keep track of that in case you need something to pull from. Lastly, everyone can vote once on NNID in a given day.

Best Artistic Achievement (Alt. Category)

And so, the first choice for this category was extremely…low brow. I, personally, found the arbitonesque "Less 'Utter Fantasy' And More 'Horrible Art Exercise'" Facebook challenge by Shoryuken to be pretty subjective, after which we were left in the Dark Ages for 21 days with no words and only lawyers internet level 1000 musters to consider the matter. The eventual winner this year was initiated by Opelinectress-sama-sama, who received an e-mail from the moral platform. (Netizens got involved, but frankly, you're more likely to gain the magic page rank that day you declare your new rule than you are to be nominated.)

Of course, there are redeeming factors—some of which I've already mentioned—compared to such seemingly evil intentions, but one thing that we can all agree with is that in this particular moment, it reminded everyone that
