    Tommy Vercetti, because, I guess, it's not only the only one I can think of, but the only game I've played recently with a definative 'hero'. Oh, I did play a bit of FFVIII but I wasn't sure if that counted or not.

    Cid/Sid in the FF series. He's a great and resourceful inventor who always comes up with interesting inventions and machines which saves the day. He may not have been a great monster killer in the games but that makes him a hero in my book.

    Pac-man. That little dude was trapped in a maze...with NO EXIT. An respawning evil things that only had to TOUCH HIM to kill him. Yet he stood up against his foe and bravely ate every dot that dared to impede his escape from these evil blobs.

    My hero is Di Stefano from Pro Evolution Soccer 3. Seriously this codger scores goals for fun man, I love winding my mates up with him.

    C'mon, you didn't think I was gonna choose Cloud or Snake over this guy did you?

    Personally, I like the original Mega Man better than Mega Man X. X turns into a whiny baby in Mega Man X7.

    Oh. My. God.

    Think about it, Snake is not a hero, he's an anti-hero.

    Does he care about saving the world for the sake of saving the world, like a true hero?

    No, he does it because it's his job, and especially in Metal Gear Solid because he's been forced into it.

    He's cynical, distrustful and disrespectful of any kind of authority, and really of anyone. He's a cold, calculating bastage, and really he's the only kind of person in a real world scenario who could save things. Because 'heroes' are more likely to save the ones they love over saving the world because they fail to realise that the small sacrifice of people close to them would save billions.

    Snake is not a hero, what he does isn't heroic, it's necessary for survival, especially his own survival.

    If you played MGS2 you'd say the opposite. Snake actually cares about the irradication of Metal Gear in MGS2.

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.

    That's mainly just an excuse for him to fight. He wouldn't be able to stand not fighting, it's in his blood.
    That's how I see it, anyway.

    I have played MGS2, I've played them all, heck even the MSX/NES ones.

    Snake fights because it's his job, because it's what he does best and because he can do nothing else. That's it, the irradication of metal gear? Again, all about survival.

    Solid Snake is not a hero, he's an anti-hero, and I will always stand by that opinion.

    Raiden on the other hand? Prissy, wimpy, hero wannabe.

    Note : Just so you know, anti-hero does not mean he's a villain.

    Ramza (FFT) is maybe my favourite hero. This guy was betrayed by his country, his brothers and his best friend. The church was against him. Everyone was against him.

    The best thing about him is that he wasn't a hero. He wasn't confident or charismatic. He wasn't faster or stronger. He had no heroic qualities at all. He hadn't a big sword or a cool hairstyle.

    He was just some guy, who had to save his sister. And he saved her. And he also saved the world, but that was not his goal. That's what I really like about him.

    I've seen the future, brother. It is murder.
