Re: best game with character development?
Okay, fine. I loved FF6's characters. The majority of them made me care what happened to them. And the music often helped with that."What if like...there was an exact copy of you somewhere, except they're the opposite gender, like you guys could literally have a freaky friday moment and nothing would change. Imagine the best friendship that could be found there."Comment

Re: best game with character development?
I'm amazed no one has said DA:O yet...
I'm only about 20 hours in, but daaaaamn, this game has the best character development I've seen, mainly because of the absence of "Good/Evil" meters. Being replaced with a system where each character judges you is a sweet move.
Alistar, my Holy Templar Tank f'ing hates it when I badmouth the church; Morrigan, my mage loves it when I threaten priests, and they will both speak their minds when you impress or annoy them. It adds a ton of depth to the game since I find myself saying "Damn it, I'm in this holy temple, I should probably not **** off Alistar," or, "I'm getting paid to assassinate this guy...I probably shouldn't tell Alistar about this..."
Party members ambush you in camp if you really **** them off, some will even leave. It makes all the characters feel way less wooden, and adds a nice variance to the Good/Evil meters that makes Mass Effect 2 feel a lot less like roleplay.Comment

Re: Enslaved, Alex Garland also wrote the novel The Beach, which was quite good, despite the film version. And Andy Serkis, who played Gollum in LotR, did the voice and motion capture for Monkey, the main male character in the game. This game has an amazing pedigree.Comment

Re: best game with character development?
Um, reading several people's posts in here, I have to ask:
How are we defining character development? Is it just writing a fleshed out character or about watching a character develop over the course of a narrative or just a game with characters you like or whatComment

Re: best game with character development?
Its whatever the opposite of what you want it to be defined as is.Comment

Re: best game with character development?
Nah, you just like to nit-pick so I figured it would be easier if you just figured everyone had a different definition than you.
Its win/win. You get to nit-pick and everyone else doesn't need to worry about such definitions.Comment

That's what I assumed this topic was supposted to be about, seeing as that's what character devolpment is, but it looks like most people took it to mean those other two things.Originally posted by John Mora View Post

Re: best game with character development?
Well if you must know, I can't name a game with actual character development. Except maybe FF9, 'cause of Vivi. Oh, and I guess FF4 with Cecil, too. But his development ceases pretty much after he gets a job change."What if like...there was an exact copy of you somewhere, except they're the opposite gender, like you guys could literally have a freaky friday moment and nothing would change.

Re: best game with character development?
I dunno about DEVELOPMENT yet, but Agent York Morgan from Deadly Premonition is fast becoming one of my favorite characters ever!

Re: best game with character development?
Agent Morgan does indeed develop as a character...especially closer you get to the end.Comment

Phoenix Wright (The Phoenix Wright series up to Apollo Justice)
Phoenix starts out as a rookie nobody, then ends up revolutionizing the entire legal system for generations to come. He's the Luke Skywalker/Solid Snake/Speed Racer of lawyer-poker players.
Neku (The World Ends With You)
The message is familiar -- friends are great, being a loner is not great~ -- though TWEWY uses enough style and variation to keep Neku's journey worthwhile. I can't help but admire a thing when headphones are used symbolically. Dat final image.
Calling, you hear the calling~
