Strike swiftly and silently.
Welcome fellow gamers. What makes a good story? Let's see plot and characters. You can never have a successful story without either other wise it's confusing and pointless. These things are in all types of media and video games are no different. Casual or hardcore video games are played by all kinds and I'm here to ask what are your favorite video game characters? I'll start with my top 10 list.
10. Ezio from the Assassin's Creed series. I know the AC series is plagued with problems and plot holes but regardless Ezio is a full three dimensional character. He goes through so much and does so much that you can't help but feel for the guy.
9. Cole from Infamous. This guy is awesome. Good or evil he's still pretty cool. Infamous 1 had the greatest version of him and he left an impression on me. Infamous 2 his voice seemed like he got younger or whatever but still his quest for power for good or ill is an epic journey to behold.
8. Frank Jager/Grey Fox from Metal Gear. If you're a fan or not this guy is one of the most interesting characters in the series. I found his views on war fascinating and his casual acceptance of death very gripping. After his rebirth in Solid he got even more fascinating.
7. Leon Scott Kennedy from Resident Evil. Got a biohazard? Call this guy. He's probably gone through the most transformation out of all the characters and his was for the better. He's a good guy fighting the good fight.
6. Imoen from Baldur's Gate. This girl is the definition of true friendship. Good or evil she'll stick by you cause that's what friends do.
5. Rose from Legend of the Dragoon. This chick kicks arse. Mysterious and beautiful she's quick a little cold and deadly.
4. Cecil from Final Fantasy 4. Final Fantasy has been on a steady down hill slope for quite some time. Luckily before the snooze fest we had this title with one of the coolest story lines ever. He does everything for his king and kingdom. What happens when he's betrayed? The ultimate tale of redemption!
3. Nameless One from Torment. Waking up in a mortuary and having no memory of your past can give you quite the motivation to discover who you really are.
2. Kain and Raziel from The Legacy of Kain series. What's that 2 characters in one number? It's my list so I do what I want. These guys are the true definition of gray area. They've muddled with time fought epic enemies and in the end decide it was all for the wrong reasons.
1. Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7. This is my #1 favorite video game character. I'm not talking about his Dissidia appearance but the trilogy of FF7. Cold and determined it's hard not to appreciate good bad guys considering he's the only that actually tried to destroy a planet to get what he wants. If you love him or hate him there's no doubt he left a lasting impression on gamers and nerds everywhere.
That's my list. I know some are a little vague but if you're truly interested please feel free to ask or play the games yourself. If you have a list please do post. I'd love to hear from others and hopefully hear about other great games I've never played.
