    greatest video game characters of all time

    we have a list of the worst so why not the best?

    name them and tell why they shine.

    my vote goes for citan from xenogears. the character was strait up awesome in every way; good background story, excellent playable character, memorable, the mystery that surrounds him is well placed.

    honorable seconds include:

    garr from bof3: interesting character with believable story, very useful in combat, looked well designed.

    cid from ff7: loved his trash talk, enjoyed his background story, he was perhaps one of the top most useful characters in that game.

    locke: two hawkeyes - need i say more? extremely well developed character, very likable.

    jessica from dq8: the best female character ive ever seen in an rpg, voice acting really sealed the deal here, she was even funny, and could handle her self well in battle.

    orlandu: despite him being the most outrageous imbalance in any game ive played, i enjoyed him as a playable character. his story didnt seam to be overly great, but his skills and character style made him stay on my winning team.

    krellian (sp?) from xenogears: you never get to play as him but he deserves his own mention. through the game i found his character to be well detailed and interesting, quite believable *** SPOILERS ***
    especially in the final fmv where he is facing oblivion.
    *** END SPOILERS ***


    baltheir and fran: easily my favorite "couple" in an rpg. funny, well made, very refreshing dialog, completely stole the show in ff12.

    viki from all suikoden's: the char was not always the most useful but defiantly enjoyed it none the less.

    george prime from suikoden 5: well done character plot wise, very likable.

    Gremio from suikoden 1: was a great character, nice story and so on.

    lavitz from ledgend of dragoon: i liked the char but i cant remember why.

    Thank you Ωbright for the sig fix!

    'Cause he died?

    Okay, here my mostly obvious list:

    James Sunderland(Silent Hill 2) - The most interesting and non-irritating of the SH protagonists.

    Leon Kennedy(Resident Evil 2 and 4) - In 2 he was kind of a dork, evidenced by the fact that everyone ignored him. But in 4 they made him a super bad-ass.

    Solid Snake(Metal Gear) - Just BECAUSE.

    Magus(Chrono Trigger) - He's evil, but for his own reasons.

      Kimahri FFX - A surprisingly deep character who was very straight forward and easy to like. Not to mention he was a badass.

      Jak - Made the transition from mute platformer to smartass gun toter seamlessly.

      Conker - Star of quite possibly the most hilarious game ever.

      Cidolfus Orlandeau
      - Both were stand out characters in Tactics (my favs)
      Zalbaag Beoulve

      Ecco - A dolphin that saves the world with sonar = SCHWEET

      Pikmin - self explanatory.

          Uh, Vivi, that's a good one. Definitely my favorite Final Fantasy character by far.

          Jim Ranyor (:3) is a very cool character too.

            You like Lavitz because he is a pimp.

            I liked Dart too. Dragoon was my first ever rpg so it holds a specail place in my heart.

            Cloud, Vincent, and Sephiroth from FF7. Those are still three of my favorite video game characters.

            Riotsword beat me to Leon

            I liked Fayt from Star Ocean. Don't ask why. I think it's just because his name is Fayt????

            Mitsarugi from Soul Calibur. (Spelling could be wrong)

            Ryu from Street Fighter. (Even though Vega always killed me.)

            Daltia from FFT was really cool I though.

              Citan Uzuki

              Because he's the ultimate badass and he looks like a dentist. But instead of a nasty dentist's drill he gets a cool sword later. And he taps enemies with its hilt for uber-damage. THAT IS STRONG!

              L-Block

              The L-Block is sexy. And isn't overrated like the I-Block. There is always room for more L-Block.

                Cassidy from fallout 2. He has the best lines, and a sawed off shotgun.

                  lol that maybe the reason. shouldnt that have a spoiler tag just in case someone out there wants to enjoy one of the only twists in the game?

                    Detective Gumshoe is probably the best character in the Phoenix Wright games. Aside from Phoenix and Maya, he meets and interacts with most of the other characters, and the results are usually really funny. He goes through the most changes throughout each case, and he's always ready to go out on a limb to help you out. And every time you meet him is a free opportunity to show him evidence and profiles for some good laughs.

                      What are you talking about?!?!?

                      Oldbag is clearly the best character in Phoenix Wright.

                      I mean come on.

                        I JUST finished the steel samurai case yesterday. Gumshoe is definitely a favorite for me in the game.

                        And now I'm stuck trying to cross examine Lotta.



                        Messing with April was fun I thought.

                          Link would have to be my favorite, but Mario needs to be recognized too.

                          Also Dante, Cloud, and Kefka (best video game villain).
                          Games:

                          SS World (RPGM2) Extravaganzicon Contest Winner
                          A Ronin Story (RPGM3)
                          SS World 2 (RPGM2)

                            Otacon(MGS Games): He's such a relatable character, especially for starting off so cowardly. Then you see him evolve into the "best friend" role. I wish Otacon was my best friend.

                            Leon Kennedy: Like Riot said, because he's a super badass.

                            I'll back up Karr's post and then some by saying that the entire front cast of DQVIII. All of the characters are very distinct and have very colorful personalities.

                            Barret(FFVII): Cuz he one bad mamma jamma.

                            Kos-Mos(Xenosaga yeah shut up magus): She's a super hawt asskickin female android in the future.

                            Kratos(God of War): I <3 Kratos.

                            Zalbaar(Kotor): Cooler than Chewy imo.

                              Alex from Lunar Silver Star Story: I didn't think much of him until he became a Dragonmaster. He really kicked ass from there.

                              Jean from Lunar 2: Eternal Blue: She was a wandering circus girl, but then she got to train under his karate master, got super strong, and became a valuable asset to my party.

                              Geno from Super Mario RPG: He was strong, intellectual, and charismatic.
