I thought tantalus was a unique thing that square made. But I think I like Marcus the most. He had the highest strength and also, he had a cool kind of attitude. [second choice: Blank]

I thought Cinna was amusing. I probably would have voted for Zidane, but Cinna is just more a part of Tantalus to me.

Mookie! you forgot again. Ruby. I don't care if she's a girl, she's still a member of Tantalus, isn't she? She's the leading lady anyway, and probably the only one that cleans after them.

I voted for Benero, Genero, and Zenero...I crack up whenever they have a conversation amongst themselves because they're always doing that "Raise the roof!" thing, but it doesn't work very well because instead of hands, they have hooves. ;)

Elena

is she a member of Tantalus. I know she was a leading role in "I Want to Be Your Canary". But she didnt' go with them when they left Alexandria. She stayed behind and opened up a mini-theater.... but i suppose you're right. But that's my vice: forgetfullness. so right yeah... add one vote for Ruby

Baku! He was funny. A big giant rat thing. What else is there to want? And I'm more of a charater person, then a stats person.

The clouds ran away, opened up the sky
And one by one I watched every constellation die
And there I was frozen, standing in my backyard
Face to face, eye to eye, staring at the last star
I should've known, walked all the way home
To find that she wasn't here, I'm still all alone

Mookie: the humurous part about her staying behind was that it was an accident  :rolleyes: Remeber the scene where she's like "Where did everyone go?" I think she happened to be out of the airship when it took off, doing something or other, and when she came back, they had already made their escape.

Everyone already knows how much I like Blank.  He was, hands-down, the coolest of Tantalus, if not the most powerful or the most humorous.

He had that devil-may-care style about him that just made the character appealing to me, and he still had enough of a heart to save the party in Evil Forest at the cost of his...well, non-petrification.

I seriously think that my enjoyment of the game would have increased tenfold if Blank got a Trance mode, some spells, and became a playable character.  I liked Blank scores more than Zidane.

My second fave was Marcus, who was surprisingly useful during the short time he was with your party.

Of course, I really did like all of Tantalus.  I thought that they were a very unique cast of characters, and I really liked following their little side-adventures during the game.

Blank was just plain cool.  His attire, his attitude, and his ability to fight was just cool.  I don't think I would have liked Tantalus as much if Blank wasn't there.  Marcus was pretty cool, and Cinna had hammer power, but Blank just spices everything up and makes it taste good.

Blank. I dont care if others think hes a Blank oiece in the game i fine he's the coolest, even cooler than Zidane. He has some nice strength too, I wish he was a playable character.

So is it still okay to post in this or what? Well, since everyone else is..

I guess I liked Zidane the best. Second would be Ruby, and Blank.

I vote for Blank for all reasons stated above. I will also add that his battle stance and vicotry pose are among the coolest in the game including his facial portrait. Just a cool character.

I voted for Marcus, who has a lot in common with Blank (my second favorite Tantalus member). Marcus is strong, loyal, and noble.

Blank by far. It's amazing how fast an emphatic belief you can establish in a character,
just by the way the writers and animators brought him to life.

Personally I like the whole Tantalus Troupe, but when it game down to choosing one, I immediately knew it was going to come down to Blank or Marcus

Blank:
Cooler name than Marcus
Self-Sarcificing
Well-rounded stats
Great personality
Steal command

Marcus:
Deals more damage
I believe he has the steal command
Loyal
Cool bandana
Intersting tattoos

I chose Blank, because I don't like Tattoos
Really tough call, but that's what it came down to

Man this is hard. It seems everyone either likes Blank or Marcus... eh.gif

For me...

Blank was cool, and you couldn't see his eyes, which was really cool to me. Also, he was afriad of oglog(sp?) , which was really odd, ,since Garnet wasn't even scare of them.
Favorite Moment: When he was complaining about the armor in the beginning of the game.

Marcus was awesome, he was the only one who treated Steiner with respect, which was one of my favorite moments, and yeah.
Favorite Moment: The play he was performing in the beginning of the game.

Cinna was funny, but I don't remember much about him, though I think he may of been the chef, eh?
Favorite Moment: Everytime he gets sad and says, "I wash my face everyday..."

But I have to go with Blank. I remember when he came back after a LONG time to Castle Alexandria to rescue you...I was so happy... thumbup.gif

I do that to depending on what mood I'm in. I enjoy giving characters accents and stuff when they speak. Makes the game a whole lot fun.
The Italian accent for Blank though... I think not.
