Famitsu recently conducted a poll to determine what sort of Koei Tecmo Warriors/Musou collaboration fans would like to see.

In terms of games, Fire Emblem was ranked third. Final Fantasy and Shin Megami Tensei also made the list.

Here’s the full ranking for games with some comments from makers:

1. Touken Ranbu Online – “We’d certainly like to play it, so we’d like to look into making it a reality, but right now we’re focusing on the PC and smartphone versions.”
2. Type-Moon – “I want to play a Saber-like game where you wipe out an army of seaweed that fill the screen.” (Co-founder Takashi Takeuchi)
3. Fire Emblem – No comment from the makers.
4. Neoromance – “Should we seriously propose it?”
5. Final Fantasy – “The Forgotten Capital quest could be hot.” (Producer Yoshinori Kitase)
6. Tales of – “Thank you very much, but there aren’t any plans.”
7. Kantai Collection – No comment from the makers.
8. Atelier – “Maybe if it has synthesis and collection elements, it will be more RPG-like.”
9. Shin Megami Tensei – “Get in touch with us anytime.” (Producer Kazuyuki Yamai)
10. Persona – “It’d be interesting if we could make it one day.” (PR)

Anime was also included in the survey. Here’s how that part turned out:

1. Pretty Cure
2. Fairy Tale
3. Tokyo Ghoul
4. Kingdom
5. Gin Tama
