FF14's cast is very memorable.
Well that's not true, in FFX there's Tidus and Yuna and Auron. And the blue dude that was really terrible in combat. And the antagonist ... wait who's the antagonist again?
Their personalities are Earth, Fire, Wind and Water.I'm pretty sure anyone would struggle to describe the personalities of any of the protagonists in the first two Golden Sun games (besides nice I guess?)
also play tales of berseria TODAY for an unforgettable cast that's oozing with personality
Sure the main characters are more memorable but what about the supporting cast? I can barely remember the names of any other character in the AC series.
Ys VIII is a weird one in that there are six members of the party in a 50+ hour game, but four of them you can write their motivation, background and story arc on the back of a stamp, they just fill roles or JRPG cliches. Laxia feels hard-done-by in that her job is to be female lead until you meet Dana, then she gets dropped. The others are literally 'I'm a sailor', 'I'm a messenger but won't tell you who for until we meet them in act 3 and it's completely mundane', and 'I'm a plucky kid with a missing carer, guess I'm the annoying tagalong now'.Yep, I'm there with you on Ys. I can name 2 (Dana and Adol) characters from VIII despite having played that game only about a year ago.
Oh I had a PS2
Yu Yevon and Sin, pretty easy to remember because they keep saying it, as the religion backdrop in the game.Well that's not true, in FFX there's Tidus and Yuna and Auron. And the blue dude that was really terrible in combat. And the antagonist ... wait who's the antagonist again?
So y'all just...didn't play 12 huh?
Max Payne series I guess.
I only remember Max Payne and Mona Sax. The rest of antagonists, any named bad guys, good guys and side characters already forgotten.
Yet you forgot Hot Coldman, the pinnacle of Kojima naming.Actiony games in general are hard for me to remember. Unless you have absurd names like in Kojima's games. Not easy to forget Die-HardMan or The Sorrow.
Can anything beat the Tomb Raider reboot for this? Big Jonah becomes a main character in the third game because there was literally no one else.
It's fascinating too how part of the fandom was convinced that Pokemon Master was going to be the "true 2019 Pokemon game" because it focused on the trainers which was what "the fans wanted".It's kind of fascinating how memorable Pokemon are but not humans/NPCs. I guess character/creature design goes a long way in making something memorable.
My vote would be Ys games. They're typical gibberish names that mean nothing (I think?)
Can't remember anyone except not sasuke (noctics)
you forgot titty mechanicThe photo guy? The recipe guy? The guard? The flamboyant antagonist? They're easily memorable characters even for casual gamers.
That's unfair - Ezio, Edward, Bayek and to a lesser extent Shay are all very likeable and memorable protagonists in the AC games. There are also some side characters which weren't all great but definitely memorable, such as Al Mualim, Leonardo Da Vinci, Achilles, Uncle It's-a-me-Mario, Cesare & Rodrigo Borgia, Blackbeard... Ubisoft is definitely getting really bad at writing memorable characters, but this started only a few years ago.Other than the villains in Far Cry 3, 4, and 5... pretty much every game Ubisoft has put out since Beyond Good and Evil.
I think more outside of Ezio, like I remember Mario (literally because he goes "it's a-me Mario" when Ezio runs into him), his family (because Ezio's Family is AC's main theme) and the historical figures (like da Vinci), but I can barely remember most of the original characters. I think AC2 established some of the Isu who still pop up in new AC games too, but I'm not 100% sure AC1 didn't.If you played any of the Ezio Trilogy game and don't remember Ezio Auditore da Firenze.
You're a liar. He's still one of the most memorable character in the whole series.
Balthier and Fran were great, they carried the game.
