Favourite game "hero"?

[a nirvana fan]

Ok so post here who your favourite game character is and why?

Mine is Cloud Strife because I think he is a great yet sometimes a little withdrawn but I like his looks, his style and everything about him.

[Dreddz]

Ive always liked Abe from Abes Odyessy.

[Shoeberto]

Gordon Freeman

[Such Great Heights]

Garrett, from the Thief games. He's just such a badass.

[Captain Maxx Power]

Awesomeness personified.

[yuffiesblaze]

Yuffie Kisaragi 'cause shes outgoing-------exactly what I am not.

[Nick Schovitz]

I choose, 3 Squall Leonheart, Sieg from Chaos Legion, and Mario from a lot of nintendo games.

Squall represents me, in looks and his personality, I used to be like him, really didn't care much about other people and distasted help. Sieg, why I like him... OH just because he's a bad ass!. Mario, no ned for reasons there just play his old school games, (especially Yoshi's Island and Super Mario World) and you'll see why.

[vampirepiggyhunter7]

Kratos from Tales of Symphonia and Soma Cruz from Castlevania: AoS and DoS. Theyre cool

[~SapphireStar~]

I liked Guybrush Threepwood from the MK series, George Stobbart from the Broken Sword series and Lara Croft ... well shes a heroine, same thing.

Yuffie Kisaragi
In what way is she a hero? I always thought the hero/heroine was the storys lead and main character whom you control.

[Spammerman]

Link, he was the first hero I ever beat a game with I think. He also has a horse and arrows.

[Shadow The Red XIII Thing]

Probably Vincent Valentine. Yes he is a hero cus he was part of a cast that saved the world just like yuffie you dont need to be the main charachter to be a hero in a game.

[Obsidian]

Solid Snake.

He manages to be utterly awesome without looking like a metrosexual and/or carrying a big sword.

[Vermachtnis]

Yuri Hyuga
He's a badass and says some of the best one liners in game history. He seems completely apathitic on the outside, but he's incredably deep. Probably one of the most in depth charters.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

The Bard from The Bard's Tale.

Sarcastic bastard voiced by Cary Elwes? Very cool.

[~SapphireStar~]

Yes he is a hero cus he was part of a cast that saved the world just like yuffie you dont need to be the main charachter to be a hero in a game.
Get over your damm high horse. To me, no he isnt a hero, hes more of a sidekick or something. A hero, to me, its someone who saves the world. Yeah fair enough he/she has a party to accompany him/her, but the main character is mainly the hero of the game cause you are mainly controlling him/her.

[yuno]

zidane tribal.

[Ashi]

Hmm... I would have to say Link!

RPG heroes tend to either be annoyingly silent or hyperactively talkative which is too much for my liking. I think from the newer generation FF games, Tidus was the least annoying of the bunch.

I didn't like Shion Uzuki in Xenosaga episode 1 but she was one of my favourite battle characters in episode 2. They also made her look better. :greenie:

I also liked Sora from Kingdom Hearts.

[Miriel]

I like being my own hero. So Eleni from FFXI. Hardest rocking White Mage, ever.

[Neco Arc]

pacman or mario...

[NeoCracker]

Jr. of Xenosag, who doesn't like a short guy with guns and a shortperson complex.
Dekar of Lufia 2: I don't care what you say, best character in the whole game.
Zidane Tribal: Hes got a tail man, a tail.
Ex-hero from Wild Arms 2(Can't remember his name): SMart, cool, and has a rail gun.
Drahkma and Vyse form Skies of Arcadia Legend: Air Pirates are the Shiznet.

[Project G]

Cloud Strife, Vincent Valentine, Zell Dincht, Irvine something or other from FFVIII, Amarant Coral, Auron from FFX, Dante from DMC, Seig from Chaos Legion, Leon from Resident Evil 2

[Luara]

...Fiona.... she isnt a "hero" but... hm...then again, I vote for Hewie; he may be a dog but... his a hero ... lol

[Craig]

Leon Kennedy, because I like to pwn zombies and his game lets me do just that.

[ff7+ff10 gurl 100]

I like Leon from RE4 and Riku but hes not a hero so I would say also Tidus and Sora.

[Erdrick Holmes]

Ive always liked Abe from Abes Odyessy.

Oh my god, you have just gained a boatload of my respect. Bravo


Ryu from Street Fighter
Iori Yagami from King of Fighters
Fei from Xenogears
Sol from Guilty Gear (dispite the fact he's an anti-hero)
Chaz Ashley from Phantasy Star IV
Alys Landale from Phantasy Star 1
Rolf Landale from Phantasy Star II.

of course no video game good guy could EVER compete with the awesomness of Sonic the Hedgehog

[Dreddz]

Ryu from Street Fighter
Sol from Guilty Gear (dispite the fact he's an anti-hero)
Yes and Yes :D

[Markus. D]

Elk from Dot Hack/// I think it was quarintine....

Brother Mhenlo from Guild Wars

Dante from devil may cry 1,2,3

Lucia from Devil May Cry 2

[Shadow The Red XIII Thing]

Get over your damm high horse. To me, no he isnt a hero, hes more of a sidekick or something. A hero, to me, its someone who saves the world. Yeah fair enough he/she has a party to accompany him/her, but the main character is mainly the hero of the game cause you are mainly controlling him/her.
What high horse I love horses. Umm never mind. If you save the world regardless of if your a sidekick or not youre still a hero.

[kikimm]

Caim, probably. He's the best thing ever.

But that was a given, so instead, I'll say...Dan, from Killer7. Badass.

[XxSephirothxX]

Link, for his silent innocence and determination. Chrono for basically the same reason. And Zidane for being funny and lighthearted, but noble and romantic at the same time.
EDIT: Oh, and Master Chief for just being, well, the most badass of the badass. ;]

[Luc]

Yuri Hyuga, simply 'cause he's a badass, and a Harmonixer. :p

[Lionx]

I actually like Klonoa how he doesnt give up and always thinks of someone else first...>_>; But thats just me.

[Pauten]

Yuffie Kisaragi and Naked Snake.

[ThundagAuron]

I'd pick Wander from Shadow of the Colossus because, in my opinion, he defines the word Hero. You need to beat the game to know what I mean, though.

But for pure awesomeness, Solid Snake hands down.

[Ste "The Man" Sephiroth]

Solid Snake - Because he is the most realistic hero I've seen ever and he is a slaughter house. Everything about him is legendary. Grat character.

Cloud Strife - My first ever games for the Play Station was Crash Bandicoot 2 and Final Fantasy VII. Cloud is just lethal. He is the main man in the game and doesnt do anything that makes me feel he is a crap character. I know it was in text, but it was very very good to get a character so over with just text. His whole life was described perfectly.

[Elite Lord Sigma]

Cecil-Final Fantasy IV: I feel this is one of the deepest characters (if not the deepest) character in the game. I like the whole personal struggle, questioning his own loyalty and who he truly is. And I like that.

Vyse-Skies of Arcadia: He has such a solid determination about him. He dreams of seeing the entire world. He also thinks beyond the confines of where he is, constantly wondering about new people and places he might see.

Link-The Legend of Zelda series: He has a quiet determination about him, and is an adaptable adventurer, able to take on any trouble that comes his way.

[DMKA]

Kratos from God of War.

http://images.usatoday.com/tech/_photos/2005/04/07/god-main.jpg

Why? Too many reasons.

[Lost Number]

Solid Snake. THE MAN.

Or else Cortez from Timesplitters...so many one liners.

Or maybe...the one character I really repect. BIG BOSS!

[amratis]

Yuri from Shadow Hearts, he beats the crap out of any FF hero, part from maybe Cloud. Allthough that being said I always rather liked Squall.

Boston Low from the The Dig, Guybrush Threepwood, and JC Denton from Deus Ex.

Oh and of course Dante.

[Odaisé Gaelach]

Gordon Freeman - he's got a nice suit.

[black orb]

>>> Mario and Luigi, Megaman and Zero.

[auhin]

Toad from the Mario series! I wish he was playable in more than just SMB2 and the sports ones...Imagine! Fireball Toad! Racoon Toad! Kuribo's Shoe Toad!

[Shiny]

Big Boss from MGS3:Snake Eater...nuff' said.

[mega_tonberry]

master chief-Halo, Halo2

the end-MGS 3

Kain- LOK series

mr. mosquito- mr. mosquito

[PramTheOracle]

Quote is Awesome

[Vivi123]

Cloud from FF7. Why? Big Sword

[Ste "The Man" Sephiroth]

Cloud from FF7. Why? Big Sword

LOL, thats ALL you need to get into my good books...that and non gay/womans clothes.

[cloud20747]

Sonic - protecting the little animals that can't protect themselves and getting some nice Gems too
Dante- Devil in the red dress...I mean coat
Solid Snake
John aka Master Chief aka Spartan-117
Samwise Gamgee - Hobbit got mad skills at killin Orcs
and Parappa the Rapper for teaching me to Believe in myself and my abilities LOL

[Dignified Pauper]

I liked Guybrush Threepwood from the MK series,


You mean MI series, right?

And, further, I totally overlooked this game. I agree whole-heartedly.

Guybrush Peepwood! That's threepwood!

grow swishing pirate extrordinare!

[Zeromus_X]

I like Ness (And I suppose Ninten as well.), Link, and Cecil :cat:

[fantasyjunkie]

Squall. He was aways aloof but had that soft side just wanting to come out, but was afraid to let it. You actually saw a moment of that side when he rescued Rinoa and hugged her close.

[Reine]

I always liked Kite..one of the "different" kinds of main characters

[FallenAngel411]

Guybrush Threepwood is my hero.

Dante is a close second, only because if it ever came to a battle between the two of them, Guybrush would probably win by accidentally concucting a demon-killing weapon using only a fish, a corkscrew, and a gym sock. That is something I simply must respect.

[amratis]

Rincewind from Discworld 1 + 2. If you've played these games then you know why, if you havn't then sorry it would take way too long to even try and explain.

P.S you will (probably) never have heard of this guy unless you're British, the Discworld comes from the British author Terry Pratchett's series of books.

If you think the puzzles in the Monkey Island series are weird and random...well, you aint seen nothing yet.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I also need to add Laharl-sama from Disgaea. Because he's Laharl-sama. And thus he wins by default.

[Strider]

I'll give you one guess. :D

[bipper]

Locke.

[Vincent, Thunder God]

GUYBRUSH THREEPWOOD, the anti-hero pirate.

[Kid X]

Duke Nukem:D Great one-liners.

[(CECIL120X]

link, ryu, soma cruz, cecil, metroid, ness...........i think

[Trumpet Thief]

chaos: Super Mario! :D

[Angel Heart]

Yuna, she's strong and caring.:)

[Venom]

Karla from Fire Emblem is one of the many favorite characters I have.

[Shiny]

chaos: Super Mario! :D
Poor Luigi no one likes him. :(

[Vincent, Thunder God]

chaos: Super Mario! :D
Poor Luigi no one likes him. :(

I like Luigi. After all, he jumps higher and isn't as much of a fata$$.;) No offense.

[Ashley Schovitz]

Lani from FF IX is my favorite character from a game and I don't even know why, then for 2nd I say Mario and Princess Toadstool.

[Nick Schovitz]

Me well it's Seig from Chaos Legion and Squall from you know what, they represent me.

[Sole]

Kratos from God of War :radred: :radred: :radred: he is so strong :)

[DeathKnight]

Kratos from God of War.

http://images.usatoday.com/tech/_photos/2005/04/07/god-main.jpg

Why? Too many reasons.

Ditto, he actually looks like me!:cool:

[Polnareff]

I'll give you one guess. :D

Uh.....

Lance from Contra? :p

Mine's actually Strider as well. Strider is one of the most skilled ninjas ever to be in video games.

Honorable mentions go to Mega Man, Terry Bogard, Mario, Ryu......

[aLcHe-MiSs]

solid snake.....:D

[Lynx]

definatly locke coal is my favorite. coolest thief around always doing the right thing except when it comes to stealing "treasure hunting".
2nd is link. rides horses shoots arrows chops away with his sword and he can work a boomerang pretty good.

[Skarr]

I like Kratos from GoW just because of his attitude. However my favorite hero from a game would have to be Cloud. :tongue:

[Twilight Edge]

Look at my sig.

[Ramza Beoulve]

Solid Snake
Leon Belmont
Alucard
Zero
Klonoa

n.n they are just wonderful

[oddler]

In what way is she a hero? I always thought the hero/heroine was the storys lead and main character whom you control.

I agree that Yuffie is not a hero/heroine; however, I don't think that the hero/heroine necessarily has to be the main "good guy" in the story. Take Star Wars, for example. Luke doesn't defeat the Emperor. Do most people call Darth Vader a hero? They probably should... I can't really think of any games to back me up on this right now, but I'm sure there are some out there.

[DudeSon2004]

Cloud Strife
Solid Snake
Jin Kazama
Squall Leonhart
Sora

Although Jin isn't really a hero but he is one of the good guys in the Tekken series.

[I Took the Red Pill]

Ico

[DeathKnight]

Ico

you mean, the KID from Ico

[Vivi123]

Vivi Orunitia. Why? Best Black Mage Ever! Eiko Carol. Why? A good White Mage and Summoner.

[Ryth]

Kratos from God of War, Link from Legend of Zelda, the guy you play as in Shadow of the Colossus, Cloud from FFVII, The Bard from The Bard's Tale, and Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid.

I like a lot of other heroes but those are by far the deepest, most interesting and/or totally badass and/or classically vailant that I can remember and the Bard is just an awesome wiseass.

[DeathKnight]

Vivi Orunitia. Why? Best Black Mage Ever! Eiko Carol. Why? A good White Mage and Summoner.

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

:love::crying2::love::crying2::love:

*points to his icon and attached pics*..................so cute...I always wanted them to flirt with each other some and be somewhat closer ya know?..

[LunarWeaver]

Shion soaks up all my attention and I have none left for other good heroes out there. She's needy

[Summoner Yuna]

Dante-DMC

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

i guess Squall from FFVIII

[UltimaMasamune]

Big Boss from MGS3:Snake Eater...nuff' said.

I agree

-badass beard
-coolass eyepatch
-a very sad past
-CQC
-a legendary soldier
-very cool voice

[NINJA_Ryu]

Cecil-Final Fantasy IV: I feel this is one of the deepest characters (if not the deepest) character in the game. I like the whole personal struggle, questioning his own loyalty and who he truly is. And I like that.
.

about time someone says him....

i also like edge, for his own struggle in the game

and yang, he does so much, an endures greatly too, but you just have to play to find out ^ ^

and btw, ive only ever had FF4 if your wonderin..

[leon123]

tony montana

[Ender]

JC Denton from Deus Ex

[I Am Stoner]

Cloud. Mainly because he is a stuck up powerhungry hero. (At the start)

[Polaris]

Lara Croft :jokey: british, sexy and knows how to wear a gun! ;) Want better than that?

[XandrewX]

Cloud Strife(FF7)...Squall Leonheart(FF8)..Rubedo Jr(Xenosaga 3)....

[Spammerman]

[Kuroshima]

[Madame Adequate]

Ico

I know you're banned, but I can't let this slide. The kid was called Ico.

Nanami.

[Pete for President]

Rikimaru from Tenchu 2.

I don't know why, but I love that game and Rikimaru saves the day without relying on strength and/or fire power.
