Favorite video games characters

[Genesis]

What are some of your favorite video games characters? And why do you like them?
Mines are : -Zack Fair : best hero ever
-Sephiroth : very badass
-Vegeta : same as above

[Sanctus]

Zack is a great character. I'm playing FFVII all the way through for the first time right now and I've played Crisis Core before this. I feel Zack's legacy in every major scene of the game, even though he isn't even there. I also like Sephiroth as a villain, but I like him for a reason that isn't usually mentioned: his intelligence.

Though, I think my favorite character in FFVII, and consequently in video games, is Vincent. You find this guy in the basement of one of the most monumental mansions in video games asleep in a coffin in a room full of skeletons with a creepy harpsichord (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNkMjH2i2qE) playing in the background and he says, "Go away, I need time to atone for my sins." Even after playing Dirge of Cerberus and seeing Advent Children, I'm compelled to ask, "Who is this guy?" If only I could interview him for an autobiography over dinner sometime. And of course there's his long beautiful locks...

Practically everyone from the Mass Effect series. XD Especially Ashley. <33333 Totally in love wif dat gal. And Tali, and Samara. C:

Shadow from the Sonic series is also a favourite, and hmm...not really sure about many others. Mostly just characters from Mass Effect. xD

JRPGs:
Naoto (Persona 4): The genius detective with a complex character, who dives into some of the deepest issues of humanity, such as gender roles and human expectations. She's a fascinating character and definitely one of the best out there.

Stocke (Radiant Historia): A lead that really evolves throughout the series and sticks to a powerful formula set forth by classics like Chrono Trigger.

Horror:
James Sutherland (Silent Hill 2): A fascinating character and an exploration into his psych was an incredible package in the game SH2.

VN:
Sigma (Virtue's Last Reward): The fact that there's so much going on in VLR and everything relates back to Sigma by the game. His convoluted way of thinking excites me in how the series has progressed. Junpei gets a shoutout for spoilers.

SRPG:
Flonne (Disgaea): LOVE

I have more. :P

[Grassy_Aggron]

Shadow from the Sonic series is also a favourite, and hmm...not really sure about many others. Mostly just characters from Mass Effect. xD

...I think I'm going to brofist you now.

[EmeraldSky]

Link (The Legend of Zelda)--He's brave, kind, and not afraid to move heaven and earth for those he loves

[Wookie Mistake]

Link (The Legend of Zelda)--He's brave, kind, and not afraid to move heaven and earth for those he loves

he's also either telepathic or a mute or both XD

[FedoraChar]

Link (The Legend of Zelda)--He's brave, kind, and not afraid to move heaven and earth for those he loves

I expecially like the Skyward Sword rendition of Link--they put a lot of expression in him in that game ^^ (and he was so adorable with Zelda x3)


he's also either telepathic or a mute or both XD

ALL of the above xD



Well, my favorite characters... hmm... That's hard xD I'll stick with:

1-Sora from Kingdom Hearts. He can be so stupid at times, but ya gotta love his go-lucky attitude

2-Ike from Fire Emblem POR. He goes through so much development! In the end, I just like his no-nonsense attitude and sense of justice. I freakin' laughed the whole time he was in Begnion. Poor guy xD

3-Pit from Kid Icarus. So. Much. Cheesiness. xD The dialogue in that game is priceless

4-Marth also from Fire Emblem. Although I like his Heroes of Light and Shadow personality and manga adaption better than Shadow Dragon xD He's just interesting to me, since he's not particularly the strongest, but he has the ability to unite people.

I know there's others, but I can't think of them right now :/ Oh, there's Groose from Zelda: Skyward Sword (DAT POMPADOUR), Locke from Locke's Quest (which no one has ever heard of probably xD), ALL Fire Emblem: Awakening characters (Henry, lol), and... yeah xD

(BTW, never played FF, but I thought Zack was awesome (and funny) in Kingdom Hearts: BBS xD)

[Sanctus]

^ that post is win incarnate


BTW, never played FF

In that case, you need to see this. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_pZv9vEWRw) Who does the redhead (Reno) remind you of? You really ought to watch Advent Children to get you introduced to FFVII. No way that you'll understand much without having played FFVII but it'll whet your appetite for more.

[Maddox]

Practically everyone from the Mass Effect series. XD

Yup. Pretty much. I will also add the cast of Dragon Age: Origins to that, though.

Commander Shepard is my hero. Specifically mine. I can't watch other people play. His voice sounds weird coming out of a different face than the one I gave him :D. Garrus (ME again) and Alistair (Dragon Age: Origins) are my best friends and I have almost never had a playthrough in either game where I didn't use them through the entire game.

[Jacob]

There are so many.

Wander from Shadow of the Colossus
HK-47 from Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic
Neku from The World Ends With You
Sackboy from LittleBigPlanet

The list goes on and on.

[Lady Tanuki]

Locke from Locke's Quest (which no one has ever heard of probably xD)

Nope, I've never heard of it. The only video game Locke I know of is the thief treasure hunter from Final Fantasy VI. Coincidentally, he's my favourite character from FFVI, though Setzer comes in a close second (how can a gambler who owns an airship with a built-in casino and casts spells with a slot machine be anything less!?).

But on to my real favourite video game characters:

Meta Knight (most Kirby games): He was actually a mentor of sorts to me when I was taking martial arts. I love how mysterious he is in the games, yet how obviously heroic yet chivalrous in helping Kirby out in the anime. Plus I really like swords overall, and he can do so many different things with his own. I like how some Kirby games let you play through the whole game (or an abbreviated version of it) as Meta Knight, and how he's the only character who doesn't need a vehicle to race in Kirby Air Ride (he just flies around like a boss).

Lucca (Chrono Trigger): She's the video game character who is most like myself. I'm a scientist-in-training who also holds a strong belief in magic; Lucca is totally for science and also uses fire magic. Sure, there are other science girls and inventors in other video games, but none are as interesting character-wise as she is in my opinion. The fact that she's from a really great game helps even more. In fact, I can list just about every main character in Chrono Trigger as my favourite, they're all interesting. (Except Crono and Marle, that is. They're just meh.)

Marisa Kirisame (most Touhou games): I have a very high opinion of witches in general. Except for the truly wicked ones, but Marisa is anything but (really, no Touhou characters are even remotely evil). She is definitely mischievous though, and that combined with her knack for stealing things and her modesty about being an "ordinary magician" puts her on my top favourite list. I've never actually played any Touhou games, but once I do, I know I'll be playing as Marisa whenever I can.

Oh gosh
Favorite characters
Oh Geez I have too many
I'll just list a few:

Kuja (FFIX) - He himself is tragic and such a human villain. Also a good villain and SO GORGEOUS!!!
Vincent Valentine (FFVII) - Oh my god he is beautiful, serious, badass, and has such an amazing past!!! I love him in FFVII and DoC! I also love Lucrecia too cus she is so human. ;u;
Freya (FFIX) - This girl is badass and just amazing. Super awesome backstory and I adored her in the game and her character development wow.
Silver/Kamon - I loved him ever since I played Crystal. He is by far my favorite Rival of the Pokemon series. He is the darkest Rival and has such a deep backstory and character development in your game. It's beautiful. He is also so attractive I can't even. ;u; I was beyond happy to see him again in HG and SS just just I love him so much.
Cheren (Pokemon BW) - My favorite Rival right below Silver/Kamon. He has such an wonderful personality and absolute amazing character development and oh gosh so attractive. <3
Chatot (PMD Sky) - He is adorable okay. The smart assistant who adore Wigglytuff and just, he seems like a jerk at times but he has a heart of gold. I really love him a lot~
Soren (Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn) - Oh lord this boy. You wanna talk character development? THIS BOY HAS A LOT OF IT! He's the booksmart antisocial mage that is a real jerk when you meet him but as the story progresses he learns to love and care of orthers and becomes such a lovable character. Did I mention he's cute? <3 Wow I love him.

And that's all for now!

[Dragon Master Mike]

hmm this is a hard one. I liked a ton of characters from The Walking Dead, but Clementine was the best. She was cute, and i felt bad about what happened to her parents. I don't play enough games with good characters, so that's the only one i can think of.

[FedoraChar]

Soren (Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn) - Oh lord this boy. You wanna talk character development? THIS BOY HAS A LOT OF IT! He's the booksmart antisocial mage that is a real jerk when you meet him but as the story progresses he learns to love and care of orthers and becomes such a lovable character. Did I mention he's cute? <3 Wow I love him.

And that's all for now!

Whoah, hey! Another Fire Emblem character! :D Man, Soren was pretty awesome as a unit (at least in my run xD) although I ended up replacing him with Rhys after I upgraded him to a Bishop ^^' He kinda bugged me at first with how he treated the Laguz, but he got better... And actually, I haven't played Radiant Dawn yet, so I'm not sure what he's like in that game :o


Nope, I've never heard of it.

LoL, I'm really not surprised xD Locke's Quest was made by the guys who did Drawn to Life, if I remember correctly, and it really didn't get a lot of attention (in fact, GameSpot nominated it for "Best Game No One Has Ever Played" awards xD). Which is a shame, because it was really awesome. Even if it was a tower-defense game xD

Dude.
You gotta play it.
I was so addicted to it when I first got it.
It unfortunately got scratched but I am actually planning on buying it again. I love it that much man.

Soren is actually much softer in this game! I mean, he is still very serious and a little snarky and sarcastic, but he no longer has any issues with the laguz and happily works with them~
Also if you have a PoR save file completed with an A grade on their relationship I think, you get a special scene where he and Ike talk about his past!
You learn why he was like he was and why he is always with Ike. It's really sad and it makes me love him all the more. ;v;

[Wookie Mistake]

Not to turn this into an FE thread, but Soren's back story is actually pretty cool. If you develop his and Ike's friendship to the max in POR you get to hear about his life as a child, pretty interesting and explains his attitude.

Back to the topic at hand: My favorite video game characters

Falco from Starfox

The shy guys from the mario games

that's all my sleep deprived games I could think of, I'll add more if I can remember them

[SockPuppet]

I'm jumping on the Fire Emblem train and going with Chrom and Gaius from Fire Emblem: Awakening. I like Gaius' easygoing personality and flighty attitude and Chrom's steely determination. They're both well-rounded characters and pretty adorable as well! :3
