Since we had this for the GBA section, why not Dark Dawn.

I feel like Eoleo is my favorite, I mean Briggs was cool, so his son can't be bad, right?

Sveta. Though Tyrell was a close second.

I hated Matthew and Karis. They were essentially carbon copies of Isaac and Jenna, who I loved the first time but good Lord give me something different.

For some reason, even though Tyrell was just a copy of Garet, he was funnier than Garet so I enjoyed him.

But Sveta was actually new, and unlike the other additions got enough dialogue to sort of kind of matter, and some sort of plot. Also the beastmen are awesome.

Oooh but I just realized I forgot Amiti and I liked him a lot too.

Yeah I agree with what you said about Matthew and Karis,

:issac2: :matthew: one of these is Issac and the other is Matthew, can you tell which? Didn't think so.

Amiti was a close 2nd for me.

Actually Sagie, I'd disagree. I found Tyrell a far worse version of Garet, in that I felt they were trying too hard to make him funny. It fell flat for me honestly.

Tbh this isn't the easiest topic to answer, given I felt some of the characters got short changed in terms of development (particularly Himi, which was a shame, because as a Venus Adept Mage she was one of the most unique characters in the whole damn game). I'd probably go with Karis for now, though I liked Sveta as well. Eoleo kinda suffered like Himi did sadly, at least that's what I felt.

I also agree that Tyrell didn't do much for me. Matthew taking after Isaac was pretty much the point, but continuuing the silent protagonist thing makes it hard to say he's likeable.

I don't really think that Karis is similar enough to Jenna to justify calling her a copy. I picked her because she was awesome with her Bow, though Amiti was my second. Sveta's in third.

Eoleo was a prick the whole game, so I didn't like him. Himi could have been interesting but pretty much stopped talking after she joined the party.

I think I picked Matty for this one a few months ago.

I mean, I played DD first so I really didn't have anything to compare him to. Or anyone else for that matter.

I also liked Amiti and Karis though. Sveta kinda got on my nerves :/

Amiti really was interesting, back before he joined the party... Then he got all weird. :/

I honestly didn't enjoy any of the protagonists a whole lot. Karis was decent, so I picked her, but she was a bit too similar to Jenna, as Sagie's pointed out.

I'm curious as to what basis people have picked Matthew upon. Picking Isaac or Felix for the GBA games makes sense, because we actually got exposed to them when they weren't being mindlessly controlled by us, the player, haha. From what I remember though, Matthew was pretty bland.

Honestly, I don't remember who i picked, but i would have been Karis or Matthew. Rief is okay, and honestly gets too much hate, but he's also a little bland. Eoleo is decent, but he comes so late game that he's basically not even there. I'd say the same for Himi but I think everyone knows my opinion on her, so I won't rant here. Sveta was decent, and probably got the most charactization out of anyone, but she felt a bit flat to me. Amiti is cool, and being related to Alex makes him a bit cooler, but again, kind of a meh. Karis as has been pointed out is pretty Jenna-y, but she has some of my best lines in the game, so i think i'd probably pick her. Matt's alright, but he's literally a blank slate.

Sveta ... to the point where I feel that she should've been the main character instead of Matthew due to her driving the plot along and her having more of an incentive to be the hero than pretty much everyone else.
