Best characters within a game
 

I think it is important to have some sort of character in a game that you can identify with and have fun being or interacting with.

Final Fantasy 7 is the obvious choice for me, considering the amount of character development you can see throughout the game. I guess alotta people think it's overrated, but I don't think so. Cloud has to be my favorite video game character ever probably.

However, of every game I have ever played, Grim Fandango has the best characters. That game seriously blew my mind and I can still recall even the smallest of characters. The game is hilarious and the characters are lovable. Best adventure game I've ever played.

Y tu?

Tommy Vercetti
Torqe from The Suffering

Aw man... when I read the title of this thread, I was just going to say "Grim Fandango".

Manny Calaveras is THE MAN. Er... THE SKELETON.

Star Ocean 2 and all the Final Fantasies after 7.

Snake, Did you like my sunglasses? :D

Squall Leonhart and Cloud Strife (FF8 and FF7).

Heh. :cool:

Sonic the hedgehog, super Mario and Luigi.

What the crap are you going on about you rod? Ok a more serious character Ryu and Ken out of streetfighter.

I never heard of super Luigi, but I do agree he is super

I always liked Luigi more, but that's because he's green and isn't a media hor

Sephiroth

I couldn't stand Sephiroth. I prefer Seymour for my FF Villains.

Kefka, the most vocial and amusing of all FF villians. He is there from start to finish in FF3

Dante from Devil May Cry

Jan Jansen from Baldur's Gate 2.

Every character from the Monkey Island series. Mainly, MURRY THE DEMONIC SKULL.

Zidane from FF9. A lot of people seem to hate him, but he was a breath of fresh air from that complete and utter tit Squall from FF8. Squall was like a Dashboard Confessional album - Whiny and pretentious.

Morte from Planescape Torment. Yeah I have a thing for talking skulls.

Exactly what I was thinking. With the rising actions or whatever they were called in Star Ocean 2, when you would enter a town, you built up a relationship with a certain character.

Dante
Max Payne
Link

Spawn
Ryu from Ninja Gaiden

One of my fav game characters is Tina from Dead Or Alive. I mean, c'mon, she's a supermodel, but also a prowrestler! ;) You can beat up undersized japanese girls with tiger bombs & Figure 4's! You know she's got to be tough too, when her dad's a badly designed knockoff of Hulk Hogan! :D I wish they would give her Eddy's triple vertical suplex in the next game tho.

I would said all the FF's BEFORE 7 (7 included). Also, is Star Ocean 2 any good? Just got done finishing the SNES original and that was something special :)

Torque from The Suffering

James Earl Cash from Manhunt

Guybrush Threepwood, I. Cheese, Murray the evil talking skull, and Otis all from the Monkey Island games

Mario from the Super Mario Brothers

Link from Legend of Zelda.

Protoman from the Megaman series...don't ask me why, I just freaking love that guy. (I bought the Aniversary Collection just because in the bonus games you can play as him :drool: )

Kurt Hectic from MDK...there's nothing quite like a world saving janitor.

<font color=969696>Meshif from Diablo II. He's the man.</font>
