Say who you think is the best video game hero/heroine, and also say who your favourite is. Also, defend your reasoning, either in your original post here, or at a later time. As for me, both my favourite and who I think is the best would have to be Kalas from Baten Kaitos. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « He is my favourite for the same reason I believe he is the best. I have found him to be the hero that changes the most over the course of a game. You start out believing that he is a good person and he wishes to help people, but then you are throw a big curveball as he becomes public enemy number 1 about halfway through the game. Eventually you show him the light by kicking his sorry bum around, and he returns to help you restor peace to the land. Mari - Mark your spoilers.

I think he is the best because he really matures throughout the course of the games. Also, (I know that this is cliche) he is a kid who basically was forced into defending the world, and he took it without much complaint. My favorite is Link, every variation of him. He changes so much from game to game, but retains that thing that makes him who he is. ~~~ These broken hearts are left with scars Because of your lies And all this time, it feels like I'm Chasing shadows at midnight. --Pillar

My FAVORITE though is Ash from Phantom Brave, he just really appealed to me and was pretty determined and focused. A little angsty, but eh. Doesn't bother me much. More here. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « He was willing to uh, how would you even say it, have his soul destroyed(?) for Maronne and I think that's really sweet. :< Just wish there was more backstory on him. ~~~

(Although Mario has the best games.) Heroine... Uuuuh... Talim? Yes, Talim from Soul Calibur! SheÂ´s cute and has good moves.

She's a normal human who fights on behalf of peace-loving alien races and beats the living hell out of Space Pirates. My favorite is also Link, because Link is rule. ~~~ I once saw Phoenix Wright cosplay at JACON... I thought my eyes would shrivel up.

Scarlet Devil Group: Arcs Posts: 470 Joined: 6-March 06 From: Quebec Member No.: 80	Best hero? I don't think there really is a "best" one. However, one of the best not mentionned here would be Lloyd from Tales of Symphonia. Sure, he's not the brightest of them, but he always fought for what he believed was right. My favorite would be Kite, from the .hack games. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « He is just an ordinary kid playing a game. But how many kids would be determined enough to do the same things he did to save the coma victims, even if he could have ended up being one of them? How many would not just freeze, flee and never touch the game again at the sight of Cubia or Skeith, even if it meant death for the victims? That's why Kite is my favorite.

Same as you guys, mark your posts for spoilers or be warned. Yes, even if the thread has a spoiler notice on it. Spoiler tags exist for this very reason. Since not everyone has played every game under the sun. ~~~

FINE IF YOU PEOPLE WANT TO MOSTLY POST BORING CHARACTERS (I only see two exceptions!) I WILL POST ABOUT A MORE INTERESTING "HERO." Fei Fong Wong of Xenogears! » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « He is seriously the most interesting hero in any game I've played. Unless I'm forgetting someone who is cooler, anyway. I'm probably only saying this because of certain psychological issues he has, and the fact that when he is angsty he is angsty for a good reason (unlike certain other characters who I shall not be naming), but still! And he is capable of accomplishing so much without being an incredibly boring cliched hero. AND THERE ARE SO MANY OF THOSE THAT IT IS VERY REFRESHING TO SEE ONE THAT'S NOT. Plus, all of his other "incarnations" are just as awesome as he is. But yeah, he's cool (I don't really like his design, though...) and very very interesting and stuff. ~~~

We'll soak this parched earth with our own blood. Group: Magi Posts: 2140 Joined: 27-July 06 From: Gensokyo Member No.: 177	Mari went with Ash, I'm going with Marona. She's just...awesome in a sense. She doesn't give a damn about anything except helping people, and plus she's awesome with a speedy weed. No other video game character can use a weed like Marona! ~~~ [20:15] Irysa: I hate myself [20:15] Irysa: I made myself some curry [20:15] Irysa: and then [20:15] Irysa: I realised [20:15] Irysa: I wasn't hungry

Anyways... Choosing a hero from a video game is hard. I'll go with Lagi, from the Panzer Dragoon series. I guess it wouldn't be too much of a misnomer to describe him as the pre-Matrix Neo. Except he's not lame. And he's a dragon. And I suppose "he's" technically genderless. >_> Vagueness. ~~~ Писатель всегда будет в оппозиции к политике, пока сама политика будет в оппозиции к культуре.

There weren't Any Prince/Arshtat hints though. Her connection to him was purely maternal. Any other connection that may have been thought of is due to a dirty mind. Prince/Sialeeds is hinted at two or three times, and Prince/Lymsleia has been hinted at but it's been said a lot of times in game that they don't think of each other that way. Lymsleia herself is all "BROTHERS AND SISTERS CAN'T GET MARRIED!" Personally, I find the thought of Prince/Lym to be disgusting. Most people who like it are either messed in the head or don't have any siblings at all.

It was amusing and cute that she loved her brother so much but was so easy to tease. I was being general on the hints in a joking manner, seeing how it felt there were hints of incest just everywhere!11 Anyway. Ole! ~~~
