Hey, cool! The fanboy drivel's spilled out beyond the FF forums! That's so exciting! At least Ultimadream is aware of the existence of more than four games. Allow me to make at least a fairly intelligent list, 'cause, y'know, I like that contrast thing. BTW, it's not in order.

1. Samus Aran
2. Mario
3. Link
4. Black Mage
5. Kefka
6. Solid Snake
7. Sonic
8. Ryu (of SF fame)
9. Sam Fisher
10. tie: Donkey Kong and Master Chief

You'll see that most of the characters on my list have attained 'icon' status in the video game world. As opposed to objects of drooling worship.

1. Kadaj (AC)
2. Squall (FF VIII)
3. Sephiroth (FF VII/AC)
4. Vincent (FF VII/AC)
5. Cid (FF VII/AC)
6. Albel Nox ( Star Ocean 3)
7. Freya (FF IX)
8. Shuyin (FF X-2)
9. Kuja (FF IX)
10. Reno (FF VII/AC)

Same here, bad guys just ROCK

Oh dear. Your favorite video game character of all time is an idiotic emo-orphan that has never actually appeared in a video game? Genius. Adding in four hollow Final Fantasy VIIer's was the icing on the cake.

Ok here are mine in alphabetical order:

Agent 47
Hitman series...
The well-dressed, stone-cold killer. He's had a few interesting story arcs and offers a rare opportunity to play a really hard-ass bad guy. He's also managed to be very suitably voiced and animated.

Albert Wesker
Resident Evil series...
Probably my most favorite of all villains; particularly during the original Resident Evil game where his allegiances were exposed. He's a touch on the "hardcore" side, but I've always looked forward to finding traces leading back to him within the games. I'm hoping he makes another main-stage appearance in Resident Evil 5.

George Stobart
Broken Sword series...
I have always thought this guy was just an awesome character in every sense of the word. He was always voiced by a solid voice actor (Rolf Saxon), has a great wit, is well defined and is a real joy to play.

James Sunderland
Silent Hill 2...
Probably one of the most story-driven characters I've come across. Exploring his psyche was a new experience and the fact that some elements of his personality (and final outcome) can be developed and altered throughout the game was very interesting. A solid character.

Leon Kennedy
Resident Evil series...
The rookie cop during the Raccoon City incident that became the hardcore special operative working for the president in years to follow; I've always liked Leon. What's really cool is you get to see a "before" and "after" in his skills and personality between the two main-stream Resident Evil games he stars in; from naive and green to intelligent and honed.

Rikimaru
Tenchu series...
The stereotypical ninja persona incredibly dedicated to his duties; I've always liked this guy since the original Tenchu.

Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic series and others...
Based solely on nostalgic value. This little guy was the driving force behind all of Sega's success in the early days of console gaming and is a classic.

Steiner
Final Fantasy IX...
This guy is just a crack-up, clanking around like a tin-can and so driven to do the right thing. I think he is very reflective of traditional Final Fantasy games, and he has one of the best musical themes resting behind him.

Yuna
Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy X-2, Kingdom Hearts 2...
The first really loveable female lead for a video game if you ask me. She had an enjoyable story throughout the Final Fantasy X series and was probably the most grounded and likeable character in modern Final Fantasy games.

I'll make a few honorable mentions that I just couldn't squeeze in, namely;
- Sir Auron, Kimahri and Tidus from Final Fantasy X.
- Zidane from Final Fantasy IX.
- Squall from Final Fantasy VIII.
- The Redfield's from Resident Evil.
- Jeff Slater from G-Police.
- Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell.
- Snake from Metal Gear Solid.
- Others.

Really, I could probably come up with a semi-decent list here, but I haven't played nearly enough games to possibly be able to make a valid assertion on which characters 'are the best of all time'. Instead, I'm going to do the fanboy-ish thing and give all ten places to Albedo (http://youtube.com/watch?v=e_oHxm8TYu0) (Xenosaga Episode I spoilers).

1. Krelian (Xenogears)
2. Auron (FFX)
3. KOS MOS (Xenosaga)
4. Fei Fong Wong (Xenogears)
5. Rinoa (FF8)
6. Kratos (God of War)
7. Tifa (FF7)
8. Elhaym Van Houten (Xenogears)
9. Citan Uzuki (Xenogears)
10. Rikku (FFX)

Snake (MGS Series)
Squall (FFVIII)
Quina (FFIX) <3
James Sunderland (Silent Hill 2)
Pyramid Head (Silent Hill 2)
Max Payne
Auron (FFX)
Jenova (FFVII)
Wesker (Resident Evil Series)
Walter Sullivan (Silent Hill 4)

Mario
Samus
Link
Kirby
Cloud Strife
Tingle
Solid Snake
Glitch
Wario
Sonic(2D only)

Everyone fails for not listing characters from the Legacy of Kain series. Half of my own list would definitely come from there without any kind of contest.

Also, a very big mention goes to Lilicor, the talking sword in Baldur's Gate 2. I don't think I've ever roffled so hard at a game as I did the time it rambled on about how it wanted to fight a red dragon, then unexpectedly summoned one right in front of me.

Everyone fails for not listing characters from the Legacy of Kain series. Half of my own list would definitely come from there without any kind of contest.

Fuck you, I was going to post them all. :(

-Harry Mason (Silent Hill)

Damn i love him :) Too bad he (SPOILERS) was murdered in Sh3. Poor Harry :(


-Wonderboy

Do i really need to comment? Is there anyone not knowing the old arcade game Wonderboy?


-Pokemon trainer (in fact you in almost all pokemon games :))

Even if ive stoped playing pokemon videogames years now, i cannot forget the hours of fun ive spent on my old gold version.:)

-John Mullins (Soldier of Fortune series)

I dont think anyone remembers him by now, but i loved the games, including his character.


-Mega Man

I still pick up my Mega Man game on gameboy and play. Its so enjoyable :)


-Tommy Vercedi (GTA Vice City)

Thi game was a blast back 3 years ago. It was the first (and only) gta game ive ever liked, and i really liked the style and character of Tommy. Calm but crazy, dressed in 70s style, a trustable friend. Ive never expected a TA to bring out this kind of character.


-Spyro the Dragon 3 characters

This game was fun and easy to play, but still a bit hard to complete 120%(yes it goes more than 100%). Each character completes the other. All the characters here were fun, some were poor evil (that dragon queen grrr:-P) and some others just made you mad (that dealer guy:)). The game was enjoyable, just a perfect platform game with great humor!

I cant think of any others. Meybe later :)

Everyone fails for not listing characters from the Legacy of Kain series. Half of my own list would definitely come from there without any kind of contest.

Also, a very big mention goes to Lilicor, the talking sword in Baldur's Gate 2. I don't think I've ever roffled so hard at a game as I did the time it rambled on about how it wanted to fight a red dragon, then unexpectedly summoned one right in front of me.

1. Jade - BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL
Beyond Good and Evil is a severely underrated game, and when you think of how great its characters actually is, only makes you appreciate it all the more. Jade is a spirited, caring young lady. She's street smart and she knows how to handle the bad guys; you won't find some whiny princess or helpless diva here. No, she's strong, but without being a clich�.

2. Dorko - DRACULA RECUSURRECTION AND LAS SANCTUARY
Dorko is an ancient witch who served under Dracula's father when he was alive. When he died, she tried to cease power, alas, Dracula banished her from the castle when she tried to put his brother, Radu, on the throne. She's a very wise but often tortured by this betrayal, and she is consistenly trying to gain favor with Dracula by betraying Jonathan Harker over and over.
