I've come to realize that character design is possibly the most important thing to a lasting success
Characters like Asuka and Rei, Mario, or Cloud and Tifa, are so memorable that girls on Tiktok are still cosplaying them.
In a western sense, you could say Master Chief or Mickey Mouse.
People seem to like characters, that's what they attach to.
The Persona series is almost entirely popular because of character design and interaction with them.
