Hm. Night of the walking thread? Character - series/game


1. Alucard - Castlevania
2. Gilder - Skies of Arcadia
3. Dante - Devil May Cry
4. Link - Legend of Zelda
5. Delita Hyral - Final Fantasy Tactics
6. Ukyo Taichibana - Samurai Shodown
7. Frog - Chrono Trigger
8. Cless Alvein - Tales of Phantasia
9. Chun-Li - Street Fighter
10. Aika - Skies of Arcadia

Reading down other people's lists, I am noticing WAY too much Square-Enix representation. Diversify, people, diversify. Oh, and props to Stephen the Third (who probably no longer posts here), for sharing my love of SoA.

Edit

You know what, this list may only be from four months ago, but it really isn't all that reflective of my opinions. When I posted that I was replaying ToP and SoA and I was on a Neo-Geo emulator-high, so they got a bit too much representation. A lot of my choices were also pretty arbitrary, as in me just wanting to pick any old character from a certain game. I'll post a new one right now that's hopefully more accurate.

Ah, well. All our base are belong to him, after all.

Why, hello guys! Haven't been around here in a loooong time!
http://dragcave.net/user/LadyTwi
http://www.backloggery.com/ladytwi

1.vincent-ff7
2.cloud-ff7
3.solid snake-metal gear solid
4.dante-devil may cry
5.grave-gungrave
6.gilgamesh-ff5/ff12
7.samus-metroid series
8.master chief-halo series
9.dian wei-dynasty warriors
10.godzilla-all godzilla games

the characters above are the best video game characters ever.

Cless got a lot of support, despite being bland as bland in-game (OVA, ToWs, and Gummies are another story, of course). Still pissed that he's not in Radiant Mythologies, and that Meikuu Zanshouken manages to suck so much in it. >.>

In general order of preference (each able to flop about two places):

Serge (Radical Dreamers)
Byuu (Bahamut Lagoon)
Jade Curtiss (Tales of the Abyss)
Reid (Tales of Eternia/Destiny II US)
Norma Beatty (Tales of Legendia)
Kefka (FFVI)
Marche Radiuju (FFTA)
Guy Cecil (Tales of the Abyss)
Cless (Tales of Phantasia)

I do have a definite first, though - Ark, from Terranigma. So amazingly endearing and such a bittersweet story...

Honorable mentions goes to Orsted of Live-a-live, Ness of Earthbound/Mother, Chris Lightfellow of Suikoden III, Setzer of FFVI, Zidane of FFIX, and a whole bunch of Tales Of characters. Bartz of FFV will always have a special place as the main character of the first RPG I've played, though.

I no particular order

Heihachi Mishima (Tekken series)
Iori Yagami (King of Fighters series)
Sonya Belmont (Castlevania Legends)
Alucard (Castlevania series)
Locke Cole (Final Fantasy VI)
Dev Null (Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption)
Jon Talbain (Darkstalkers series)
Number VIII: Axel (Kingdom Hearts series)
Bernard Bernoulli (Maniac Mansion series)
Cid Highwind (Final Fantasy VII)

Because it turns out, that I haven't posted here yet.
