Guest Doomsault Report post Posted June 24, 2002 What are your favorite game characters of any game, ever? Good, bad it doesn't matter. Some games I find hard to play just because of a lackluster character, for instance, Duke Nukem. Yeah he's kind of funny when he fondles strippers and talks trash to pigs in uniform but I never could get over how cliche'd he is. Anyway my favorite game characters are Squall from Final Fantasy 8, Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7, and Snake from of course, from Metal Gear Solid. I'm looking forward to getting a PS2 because you get to play as someone named Raiden or something in MGS2: SOL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest chirs3 Report post Posted June 24, 2002 Squall takes the "Least Favorite Video Game Character" award for me. Really quite an honor. Favorites? Hmm... Of all time, I'd say Kefka, from Final Fantasy VI, which coincidentally is my favorite and the best video game of all time. Runners up (in no order) include Sephiroth (FFVII), Auron (FFX), Dante (Devil May Cry). Rikku gets an honorable mention for being so damn hot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anubis Puppet Report post Posted June 24, 2002 Samus Aran - the first truly dominating female video game character (and Lord knows we like that ) Cloud Stife - for all intents and purposes, he remains the most interesting and complex FF character to date. blarg.

Guest chirs3 Report post Posted June 24, 2002 For the longest time, I thought Samus was a guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anubis Puppet Report post Posted June 24, 2002 For the longest time, I thought Samus was a guy. They never really clarified that until the sequel came around. In the intruction book to the original game, the referred to her as a 'he' throughout. The only time you could see she was a chick is after you beat the game, and even then it was hard to tell. I don't remember what she looked like exactly, besides having green hair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest J*ingus Report post Posted June 24, 2002 Metroid had a few slightly different endings, but one of them quite clearly showed a brunette chick in a bikini come out from under all that armor. As for favorite characters, I don't have a lot new to add: definitely Auron of FFX, he's probably the coolest one ever. Solid Snake of MGS, a character of surprising depth.

You're like my long lost brother! (made even more eerie by the fact that chirs is an anagram of my name) Let me piggyback on the things you have already mentioned: Squall is the biggest bitch in any game ever. EVER. Period. Kefka is God. Always has been, always will be. FF6 is the best game of all time, barely edging out FF7. And for the record, I'd fuck Rikku right in her pixeled ass.

Guest chirs3 Report post Posted June 24, 2002 I always thought Luigi was the better of the two. Especially in Mario Bros. 2, (though Princess owned them both). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JaKyL25 Report post Posted June 27, 2002 I have and always will have a blind allegiance to Locke, the "Treasure Hunter" from Final Fantasy VI, but Kefka OWNZ YOU too. Kahran's post got me thinking, though. Damn if Jowy Atreides/Blight isn't one of the GREATEST characters ever, definitely most underappreciated. Now I wanna play Suikoden II again, which is NEVER a bad thing. As far as Ramsus goes, he's one of the best characters in Xenogears, that goes without saying. But, IMO, Krelian and Graph are a LITTLE cooler. Now I wanna play Xenogears again, which is usually not a bad thing, but my friend from college borrowed it for the summer! Fuck! All you RPG fans out there, PLAY XENOGEARS!!!!!!! Play Suikoden II as well, but not before playing the original. PLAY THE WHOLE DAMN SERIES! One more shout-out: PLAY LUNAR!!!!

Guest crandamaniac Report post Posted June 27, 2002 I'm looking forward to getting a PS2 because you get to play as someone named Raiden or something in MGS2: SOL. I hate to ruin it for you, but in my opinion, Raiden was a whiny bitch. As for my favorite Character, I'd have to go for the nameless soul in Shadowrun. Mainly b/c you basically became the character.

Guest The Superstar Report post Posted June 29, 2002 Sephiroth from FF7, and of course Yoshi (hell, I named my dog after him, even though I was only like 6) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest KoR Fungus Report post Posted June 29, 2002 Speaking of naming dogs after game characters, we named our little pug after Edgar from FF6. My parents agreed because they thought we were naming him after Edgar Allen Poe, heh, and so they said his full name was Edgar Allen Pug. Gag. Anyway, add Edgar to my runners-up list, he was always my favorite FF6 hero. He has nothing on Kefka though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Doomsault Report post Posted June 29, 2002 Gotta add Mustadio from FF Tactics. And why does no one like Squall? He was a baddass, he don't need nobody. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest chirs3 Report post Posted June 29, 2002 And why does no one like Squall? He was a baddass, he don't need nobody. That's just it, he WASN'T a badass who don't need nobody. He was a big softy inside, and just pretended he didn't need anybody. Not to mention he was whiny and he had four animations. Walk, Run, Hand-on-face, and AIR-CHOP~! Air chop covered angry, sad, upset, confused, etc. They went WAAAY too far with Squall, and he went over the emotional waterfall to the sharp jagged rocks below. We didn't get a badass, we got an emotionally confused child, who doesn't learn anything til the very very end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
