overall i feel like large fandoms often end up forming around media where there is a lot of room for character interpretation or a lot of characters to use for different things, n like things where u can put the cxharacter in different settings easily, while still being interesting characters (whether that is from the actual writing or from fanon interpretations)
its just interesting to see bcs there were games jsut as good as this that released and maybe got a few fanarts with a good chunk of people liking it but thats it. It has to also be the attractiveness of a character i think and yes the character interpretation that leaves room to create the wildest AUs ig

its not rly a media value thing though, like yeah maybe its a bit boring that it will affect what gets fan content in a sense, but fandom is a very specific thing to fill in blanks. A really well made piece of media or a piece of media that is a very encapsulated story is just less likely to become a fandom
yessss
