[General Discussion] Heros in RPGs who you wish you could kill slowly and painfully.

Yuffie was the only one I ever wanted to throttle with my bare hands, because she was such a bitch about the whole materia thing. And then, after the shit she puts me through to find everything again, I'm expected to think it's cute that she stole the things I had worked so hard to collect, and let her off the hook without a good punch to the grill.

She was a horrible character in general. Couldn't attack for shit, and that was basically the extent of her "skill." She was a worthless bit of fluff inserted not so subtly in so that pedos and loli-lovers everywhere would have something to look at in the battle screen.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

^^^^^

I'm starting to think this thread isn't a good idea because of all the fanboy rage going on in here. Yuffie's one of the few characters in FF7 who gets a multi-hit limit break without any stupid Gimmicks. And it's a level 3 limit. Not 4 like Highwind, or Omnislash.

As for the materia thing, I can't be the only one who liked that part of the game most. It was an actual challenge, unlike almost every other part of the game where it's BIG GUARD ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK LIMIT BREAK SUMMON SUMMON SUMMON. The only real challenge apart from that section was the weapons, and the only reason i haven't beaten ruby is because it takes too long and the reward is worthless.

Storywise, who said you had to think it was cute?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Pardon our opinions for not following your own, O Almighty One.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Hades (paralyzes him)+KotR. He goes down in a few minutes. Doesn't take long at all.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Because she forces her way into her party, and then OH-I'M-JUST-YOUNG-AND-CONFUSED-SO-DON'T-HATE-ME THEME MUSIC plays.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Thankfully, you can choose Bowman instead of Precis and avoid ever hearing her voice. The same can't be sail for Noel. Even Claude's voice annoyed me at time's, "Well, that's somewhere around 80 points!"...*mutes sound*

How ya doing, buddy?

Anyone in FFVII who isn't Cait Sith. Seriously, the characters are the most bland, uninspired, just-plain-fucking-IRRITATING cast I've encountered in any RPG I've played. Cloud and Vincent are emo recluses, Yuffie is a sugar-filled crazywoman and Barrett is a stereotyped foulmouthed "can of whoop-ass".

Most of the characters from FFVIII and FFX pissed me off, too.

Oh, and Chu-Chu from Xenogears. She was the only thing wrong with the most perfect game on Earth.

edit: Colette, Genis, Regal from Tales of Symphonia, Reid and Farah from Tales of Eternia, etc etc

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Definately Lloyd from Tales of Symphonia.
I just HATE his "NO! I DON'T CARE IF I DIE, I'LL DEFINATELY HELP YOU FIND YOUR LOST DOG!"-attitude.

Omg, best description ever!

Word, although I liked Regal's voice actor (the same actor that did Lord Zetta and many others). And I think anyone can admit that Eternia voice acting was bad. I didn't mind Farah, though.

I think you should have mentioned Keele instead. Slowly, painfully and Keele are three words that go together hand in hand.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Everyone in Baten Kaitos. Just stop talking, everyone.

This is why I've never collected all the voices. After my first time using Precis, I chose Bowman from that point on.....

And I always have to think about things:

Goofy from Kingdom Hearts. Okay, he's my favorite Disney character, but he was ALWAYS in my way when I was trying to line up jumps. I turn around, and there he is! God, I really wanted the "single person representing a group" structure at that point.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Squall Leonheart - He just seemed like a whiny teenager from the beginning to the end of the game. I never got to like even a single character from Final Fantasy VIII. The whole game was just a waste of my time, but Squall was that much more annoying than the rest.

I don't mind angst... but there's a difference between angst and just plain whining. He crossed that line.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Even though I'm a fan of Final Fantasy series there's always one character (at least) per game i'd like to send straigh to hell.
Yuffie (FFVII) is the first. I never liked her and probably never will. The only time I thought she was ok was in FFVIIAC.
Kimari (FFX) is another idiot; I was just glad he didn't talk much.
The entire cast of FFIX, starting with Amarant and Kina (I think that was his name), only god knows how much I hated those guys.
Laguna form FFVIII, neither my friends or myself couldn]t stand him. Whatever there was a scene with him we played it cursing the whole time.

Someone here mentioned the "Green Beast" from Xenogears, sorry for forgeting his name.
In Chrono Cross I hated the main character during the time we played using somebody's else body (I think the name of the character is Lynx)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Eh, him and Ras are the only two characters who didn't make me balk. I actually played through with the voices off and skipping FMVs.

Probably the worst Tales game in the series. Still waiting for that Phantasia remake.

FELIPE NO

Krelian...I never said what you have me quoted as saying. That was Rocca....

I've never played a Tales game.

Yuna--thank you for knowing Amarant's name. I always want to call him the rooster. His only endearing quality was he could get rid of your excess items. And I agree about Quina.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Any kid character who's a 14-17 year old wimp but can beat up a grown man ten times his size. I really hate those little punks, what they need is a healthy dose of physics. Give us more adult characters who actually look like they can kick some ass. Enough with the brats who aren't old enough to buy alchohol or go to a strip club but can save the world with toy swords. I want to see more RPG casts like Shadow Hearts 2, Magna Carta and Xenosaga.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's not your opinions that anger me. It the inaccuracy.

Not to mention that everyone sounds So Angry. It sounds like the character ruined your life or something.

And sure i'll defend a character i like. Who wouldn't?

How ya doing, buddy?

Seconded.

My god, how I second this.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Meredy from Tales of Destiny II needs to die.
So does every single character in Lunar: Silver Star Story.

I kinda wish Dante had gotten the shit beaten out him in DMC 3 (well, he did, but more so). What an annoying character to play as. I far preferred him in the first one.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Squall (FF8) - man this guy was SO slow i often found myself screaming at the screen and going WTF dude just make out already!

Aribeth (NWN) - all I could hear was 'whine whine whine', I wish you could just kill her at the start of the game and do the world a big favour.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I have huge rage mostly against females in RPGs, I don't know why, but mainly because it seems like their characterization lacks much poorly against males.

Xenogears - Chu Chu. Whoa whoa whoa. Talk about USELESS. The only good thing about it is that it swells into some giant who can beat up a gear. Once.

Final Fantasy VIII - Just about everyone whose age falls within the 17-18 age range. Selphie was naturally too "goodie" that I just want to punch her in the face. Rinoa is also pretty bland. "Oh, I'm useless!" Yeah, and the dog sucks too.

FFVII - Cait Sith, hands down. Never used it in battle. Also a blah character that just needs to shut up.

FFIX - Eiko. Little dwarf girls aren't my thing.

Suikoden IV - Snowe also needs to be punched in the face. "MY ARM! MY ARRRRRM!" I beheaded him once, but reloaded right after the scene just so I didn't have to replay that terrible game.

Disgaea - Flonne. High pitched voices also aren't my thing. And the whole good thing gets old, fast.

Star Ocean 3 - Sophia. Terrible AND useless.

How ya doing, buddy?

I probably have several, but the one that stands out severely in my mind is:

Zidane from FFIX

That guy has the worst kind of naive possible and has the mood swings of a pregnant woman. The moment I saw his dialogue box come up I knew I wouldn't enjoy him, and I was right.

Honorable mentions include:

Snowe of Suikoden IV - whiny aristocrat
Fayt of SO3 - teen with existential angst

I must have a bias against teenage males with emotional issues, yet somehow I don't find the supposed epitome (Squall of FFVIII) annoying at all.

FELIPE NO

I always hated Tidus in FFX. At first glance, I knew I would. He looked like a reject from a boy-band, and my fear was confirmed as I played it. He was really annoying, and to a degree that's beyond Cloud in my opinion (although, thats another character I'd like to incinerate) I hate to beat a dead horse here, but I can't help but stress enough, Tidus needed to be less of a cheery go-getter feminin' looking character.

Most amazing jew boots

I have to say, all charasters of tales of Legendia, man I hate to say this but I so HATE this game, it's boring, the story is shit, they really screw up the battle system and the character are so annoying, those voices doesn't even fit the character and god I never seen so many annoying characters in the same party at the same in a single game >.>

do I have to say annoying again? (god I'm happy they return to the "true" team that worked on previous tales before)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

My least favorite mains are Lenneth Valkyrie and Shion Uzuki. The former is extremely dull and highly unsympathetic, while the latter is obnoxious and useless. I also dislike Squall. Mute mains are always a terrible idea. I'd rather be stuck with a character I hate rather than that. I don't like Yuri Hyuga much either, mostly because of his lousy idiot one-liners in Covenant.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
