~hums the Super Mario Brothers theme song~

Catchy, ain't it? Mario rocks, but I like Luigi's height/wardrobe better. I say the Super Mario Bros. should be on the list.

Well... part of me wants to nominate the whole cast of Nothing Constructive to the panel, but since maybe 50 people ever have played the (independently produced, by a friend of six years) game (for ZZT, at that), I can only justify using one of them. Though, when I get my laptop back, I can e-mail/IM it to anyone who likes (just message me ingame/catch me on AIM after tuesday), so you'll know why this game justified using an empty CD to copy about 300Kb.

1: Zanno, from Nothing Constructive (ZZT)-conversation with the Pirate guy
2: Sven T.Uncommon, from Popful Mail (SegaCD)-Calls you a "Whining Pile of Diaper Paste."
3: Elven Chaotic Mage, class 4, from Dark Wizard(Sega CD)- Can cast Volcano & Fire Bolt, Which quickly become Summon Fire Elemental & summon Earth elemental, which can kill anything on the map, from a full day's march.
4: Fwiffo, from SC2- Ask him about himself. And he'd give you access to the most cost-effective ships if you threatened him with a cucumber.
5: Nina, from BoF- Along with making the future Ninas useless out of raw animal lust and kicking ass herself, she has one of three memorable lines scenes in the game (though, King Giant's scene steals the show, and Alan/Cerl's, while artificial rehashed sentimentality, is exactly the way it should be done.)

Honorable mention to Alexis from Brandish for making me piss myself, and later forgive her, when I was 8, & the BGMusic for Lufia and the Fortress of Doom, which would have taken third if it were an actual character. The possibility of new music is the only thing that keeps you playing past that three towers puzzle just before elfland, and entering the sunken fortress makes it all seem worthwhile...

Got that damn right. Almost every website I see showcasing a new spell, he's always the target.
I read on the Elder Scrolls forums about an idea someone had of enchanting Fargoth's ring with healing, paralysis, and fire spells, all on self, so that once he put it on, he'd be burning to death, not dying, and not be able to take the ring off. Instant hell.

No one mentioned Bubsy :(

My little neice use to play that game alot. He was a cute toon. Reminded me of Sonic just no where near as fast.

When I was younger I played Pac-Man, Vangaurd, Donkey Kong, Frogger & Contra.
Then Mario... Twisted Metal, Madden, Diablo and Command & Conquer.
Now I just play Warcraft and occasionally EQ.

As for favorite character's.. I don't really have one. Guess it would have to be some from these games.

Shit this is hard.

Kerrigan - Starcraft and Starcraft 2

Black Mage - I'm sorry, but anyone who can make a comic like 8 bit Theater mainly from this game character as successful as it is means the character is truly awesome.

Boo, the Giant Space Hamster - BG I and BG II

Link - TLOZ series, 'nuff said.

G-Man - Half Life 1, 2, & 3

Can't be bothered to list, but having read you guys posts...

Leave Fargoth alone, he's my home boy.

The g-man from Half-life was evil, but mermorable.

Sepiroth and Vincent were the best two FFVII characters.

Jumpman has a better retro quality than Mario.

Master Chief? Cortana? No, i think you'll find it's the grunts. Tho the sargents pretty cool.

I want my own HK-47, he had all the best lines.

5. Link. Innumerable games. He made being called "elf" almost respectable. Almost.
4. Winky. Donkey Kong Country. Few are the fates more dishonorable than to get smacked down by a giant frog.
3. Earthworm Jim. Earthworm Jim series. C'mon, it's a superhero earthworm in a cool space suit and a ray gun. How much cooler can you get?
2. Rand. Breath of Fire 2. Everyone talks about how hot Nina (if you're normal) or Kat (if you're really kinky) were, but really, who was cooler in that coolest of console games than the big lug himself. . .except when you metamorphed him into some kind of mutant armadillo with the elementals. Little guy, BIG ass-whoopin'.

And the number one game character ever:

1. Minsc. Baldur's Gate I and II. This guy had it all: the badass skills, the great catchphrases, like:

"Jump on my sword while you can, evil! I won't be as gentle!"
"GO FOR THE EYES, BOO!! YAHH!"
"Boo is quick and evasive and there is ever so much of Minsc to search that we will never be seperated!"
"I do not understand what you just said, but Boo thinks you are just ducky! Onward!"
"Boo is outraged! He's small so you have to look close! Trust me, it's there!"

And last but not least, if you noticed in his catchphrases, he refers to a "Boo" a lot. Boo in this case is his hamster. Yes, that's right, a man who can bend iron bars with his bare hands and is about 7 feet tall spends most of his time listening to the advice of his hamster. But not just any hamster; Boo is actually a miniature giant space hamster. He's just disguised very well. . .no seriously.

With a character like that, it should be no surprise that he is an absolute blast to have in your party.

3) Fido. GTA3, PS2 & PC & XBox. What other character from any game can kill massive amounts of people, shag a ton of hookers, steal cars and wreak general havoc without ever saying a single word?

4) Vladimir from Animal Crossing. He's one of the maybe 20 total animals that stay up late, which makes him the shit.

5) CATS, again from Zero Wing on the Sega MegaDrive. He has half of his face replaced with mechanisms and electronics, and then he still has a long purple cape. Kick ass.

It's hard for me to put them in any particular order, as I pretty much like all of them equally. Well, maybe Minsc a little more than the others.

Minsc of Baldur's Gate I and II (Definately have to agree with Kanabia on this one. Funniest character I've probably ever seen in a game.)

General McDohl of Suikoden I (I really enjoyed the conflict between him and the main character towards the end of the game.)

Zhou Tai of Dynasty Warriors (For his cool unlockable costume, nice "I'm a bad-ass attitude." and the fact that he could slice an enemy soldier about 100 times before their body even hit the ground.)

Mario (How could I not list the character that I started my gaming career on?)

Father Estaban Cortez of Hunter: The Reckoning (Coolest. Priest. Ever.)

1: Janus Zeal / Magus / Magil, from Chrono Trigger and Radical Dreamers. There's no better character, as far as I'm concerned. Extremely deep, well-written, dark, and has the best theme song ever. It's a shame the development team for Chrono Cross changed his character (Guile) into some faceless wandering magician. Having his backstory tied into it would've made it perfect.

2: Glenn / Frog, also from Chrono Trigger. A very deep character with a very good theme song (Magus' theme is still better).

3: Samus Aran. Why? Chozo Power Suits are better than you.

4: Melfice, from Grandia II. Play the game to see why I listed him, and you'll understand.

5: Siegfried / Nightmare, from the Soul Blade / Soul Calibur series. He's just an ordinary kid (with a massive German Zweihander sword) who accidentally killed his dad, went totally insane, found Soul Edge, and became the grotesque Nightmare.

Dangit. So many characters, so little space on list.

HK-47, Canderous Ordo
(These guys mostly because I loved talking to them the most. Had the best dialogue in the original Knights of The Old Republic.)

Auron (His entrance into the Blitzball arena during that cutscene in FFX still ranks as one of the best bad-ass entrances in my book.)

Magus ("It's over for you. Your life ends here." And I agree, awesome theme as well.)

Kane from Command and Conquer (Just something about this character that makes me want to tilt my head back and laugh evilly.)

I agree Ritlina, Kane was very cliche. I was watching some of the cutscenes in the game and kind of laughed at how corny they where. I guess he just appeals to the ego-maniac in me or something.

As for Magus, well Chrono Trigger was one of the first RPGs I ever played, and Magus was probably the first true bad-ass I had seen in a game. (Next to Frog maybe.)

What makes him special is that he's a burned-out badass. Read the true translation (parts can be found on GameFAQs), and you'll see just how much better his character is when he hasn't been translated by that idiot, Ted Woolsey.

Woolsey turned him into a fucking Vegeta clone.

Khazaron']Never really thought of it that way Potaria. Thanks for tell me about the translations on GameFAQs, I'll definately check those out.

You really should. It's almost like a totally different game with the correct translation. For instance:

Ozzy, Flea, and Slash are "Binegar", "Mayone", and "Soyso". It's a play on words for three condiments: Vinegar, Mayonnaise, and Soysauce. They did a better job on the translation of Chrono Cross, with the characters "Salt" and "Pepper". This is just one of the many things Woolsey fucked up.

The Masamune is the "Grandleon". The two brothers are "Grand" and "Leon", and their sister is "Drean", a play on the word "Dream", which is what the three characters are: Dreams.

And this is the scene with Cyrus and Glenn fighting Magus, taken from the GameFAQs translation differences guide:

Glenn: Uwa..?!
Cyrus: Watchout, Glenn!!
Glenn: Cyrus!
The sword...!?
Grandleon....!!
Binegar: Gya ha ha, What's the matter
[haven't translated the rest; something like "soon come to an end" +
something]
Your legendary sword is broken, so now you can't do anything/are
helpless!!
Cyrus: Ugh, Not yet!
Glenn: Cyrus... Soon I'm....
Cyrus: Listen, Glenn. [haven't translated rest of sentance]
Glenn: B, but..!
Cyrus: [some untranslated stuff] Go on, Glenn.
Magus: You seem confident, Cyrus. Now is not the time for you to worry about
someone else.....
Cyrus: Glenn, Go, Now!! (given as order)
*Cyrus charges at Magus and is blasted*
Cyrus: R... Run... Glenn.... (given as order)
The queen..... Leene-Sama's [haven't deciphered the rest]
Magus: Hmmph, what's wrong? You're not going to fight me?
(said in very rude form)
Glenn: Ugh....!
Binegar: Gyo he he...
He's like a frog who's being stared at by a snake.
Whelp.
Binegar: Maou-sama, how about it? How about giving this lowly person a form
more fitting to his character?
Magus: Huh, okay....
I'll erase anyone who dare come before me and challenge me.
*commence frog-curse*
Binegar: Gyaaa-ha ha ha ha...!
What a spineless insect!

Notice how Magus uses none of that ridiculous Vegeta-speech. Oh, and "Maou" is Japanese for "Demon/Wizard King", so "Magus" is pretty much a direct translation (Wizard King). The suffix "Sama" is used like "Sir". So, Binegar is pretty much saying "Sir Magus".

05-08-2005, 04:14
Just from glancing over some of the translations on GameFAQs shows alot of difference. It's a true same they thought they had to do this in the name of PC and making it more appealing to kids. Honestly, they probably could have found quite an audience amongst older gamers if they had left it as is.

It'd be nice if they ever did something like a director's cut for CT. But the realist in me says it'll never happen.

Check this out. This one's from Magus' castle, just before the battle, taken from the GameFAQs translation differences guide:

Voice: Da zuma rafua rou raira....
Kneel down before me, valleys and rivines of Heaven and Earth...
Take this Mother Earth's life-force to.....
Frog: Maou!!
Maou: It's that damned frog....
How has your life been since then?
Frog: I appreciate this form...!
Frog: Look at what I have obtained...!
Maou: Hou....
You have the Grandleon.....
Maou: But this time, will the others allow you to use it properly?
Maou: The black wind begins to howl....
Okay, come and get me.....

Again, none of that hideous Vegeta-style dialogue from Magus. And that horrible Dracula reference doesn't exist, either.
