I kinda liked the idea of the Main Character not being the guy the story is centered around, he is more of a support, any more games like that?

FF10
Bravely Default (if you want to call Tiz the protagonist)

AFAIK, the term is "viewpoint character".

Also, why'd they have to make him so blatantly gay? Dude's letting off hundred-foot flames, for fucks sakes. I'm surprised he doesn't sneeze glitter.

Vaan is one of the least important FF12 characters
Tidus is the only person who can stop the devastation caused by his father.

There's a big difference

It's fashionable in Japan for young men to look as gay as possible.

Digital Devil Saga
Sera and Heat are both way more important to the story than Serph

>I only like stories centered on one character!
Faggot, you're one of those people bitching about how Max in Mad Max didn't talk for shit, or how Venom Snake didn't talk that much either. Fucking pleb scum.

I prefer 12, I'm stating that 10 isn't like 12 in the same way as op wants

That's the absolute worst story idea and the kinda of story I automatically avoid. Why bother even having a protagonist if he/she isn't even important to the story? Even have a protagonist who is important or make it like FF6 (ensemble cast). Don't bullshit with this worthless "view point character" nonsense

Doesn't matter, XIIs political plot line had me so bored I found myself wanting to skip cutscenes my first time through, which I never do first time in a game.
Didn't stop me from putting over 1000 hours into it.

Dicaprio become the protagonist in the movie, it doesn't count. It switches protagosnits.

then he's not the main character, he's just a guy you start off with

It's hard to follow on your first playthrough, and it makes a lot more sense the second time around
>>
>>319548575

You're confusing main character with protagonist.

>>319547036
I don't mind not being the main character but I wish you had more agency in the plot. Not even a thank you for chapter 5

Funny joke mate. Americans only call their books "one of the best books ever" because they don't bother to read anything else.

FF6. Locke is the main character but the story/plot revolves around Edgar.

XIII as well
>>
>>319549429
Yeah because the count of montecristo is totally british

You know
The story of a french guy that wants to bang a spanish girl and is locked in an italian island.
Totally british, just like Alexandre Dumas, the most british person in the world.
>>
>>319549928
Never said the book was british.
Just you and/or your mentality.
>>
>>319550206
It's called European mentality, m8.
You will have this mentality when you will develop your own culture
>>
Ar Tonelico games to varying extents have this. AT2 in particular the main guy basically became completely irrelevant to the story about halfway through.
>>
>>319549917
Those games both don't really have a main character though, it's more of an ensemble cast with the focus shifting as it goes along.
