Here's a challenge, /v/.
How many non-retarded, non-faggot (literally and figuratively), non-pathetic and non-silent MALE MAIN PROTAGONISTS of JRPG's can you name?
Name one per post. Don't make a gigantic list because no one reads those. Try to give a good argument. Don't name ones that have been named.
Protip:None of you will be able to actually name a single one and you'll have to lie through your teeth
teedus
Crono
Shulk.
Maxim

Serph from Digital Devil Saga

Fucking Butz/Bartz from Final Fantasy V.
>>320153272
Not in PQ
Squall

One of the few non-retarded characters in the game.

He accomplishes missions and doesn't afraid of anything.
>pathetic
He overcomes his insecurities through the course of the game.
Pic related. His face when he gets pussy and hot dogs at the end of the game.

>>320152559
Ramza Beoulve
Squall to be truthful pham.
>>320152939
I love ToS, but Lloyd is a fucking retard, end of sentence. He caused his own village to be burned down and still didn't let go of his "I'm a JRPG hero! I have to save people!"
>>320152839
>His character is literally getting mad at his dad.
Did you play the game?
Zidane is pretty cool.
>>320152559
Auron from final fantasy 10
>>320153154
>implying he isnt a faggot
>>320153150
He moreso hates his mother who neglected him after Jecht's disappearance and is reflecting her flaws onto his father

Yuri Lowell
>>320154391
Not main protagonist, but I like your thinking.
>>320152839
His dad had him at the age of 13. Was an incredibly shitty parent and just outright left, leaving his mother to suffer. Who wouldn't be mad?
>>320152559
>>320152839
>had an abusive dad
>abandoned
>wahh hes such a bitch.
At least he kissed the girl.
Boom!
Vyse (Skies of Arcadia)
Yuri Lowell (Tales of Vesperia)
Bartz Klauser (Final Fantasy V)
Ramza Beoulve (Final Fantasy Tactics)
Aya Brea (Parasite Eve)
Ashley Riot (Vagrant Story) although his design is pretty debatable
Fei Fong Wong (Xenogears)
I can keep going. Characters like Teedus are practically outliers rather than the norm, although heroes that could be called retarded are more common because Japan loves the idiot hero cliche.
>>320152559
Again? You already got your answer last time and you just replied to every post saying it doesn't count. Fuck off.
Fei from Xenogears
>>320152559
you post the same question you are going to get the same thread dumbass but you are probably baiting since you have nothing else better to do since you are a boring person
>>320154161
came to post this
The Baten Kaitos guy too. I'd say he's not too stupid becausehe manages to fool the whole party and even the player/guardian spirit.
>>320155709
He is a faggot though.Actually I'm just assmad because his boss battle is the biggest difficulty spike after Giacomo's team.
Sagi in Origins was also pretty alright, although he was overshadowed because the other characters were more interesting.
>>320152559

Yakuza is technically a JRPG in that it is the most Japanese of RPGs
Kazuma Kiryu
Ringabel?
>>320152559
He did nothing wrong
>>320152559
Here you go. Next Question.
Can you name a non-silent WRPG protagonist that isn't a generic action hero or a self-insert for neckbeards first, OP?
Hiro from Lunar 2
>>320152559
Nier from Nier (English edition)
Hes a cool badass old man that just wants to protect his daughter.
>>320152559
Yuri Lowell
>>320158163
Cloud's character is that he was indeed pathetic. He failed at every dream he attempted (both joining SOLDIER and winning Tifa's heart) and was forced to RP as someone else after his mind was utterly shattered by Hojo's science. But I see your point since the beauty of it all is that in the end he overcame all of it by being himself. He became greater than SOLDIER and successfully won Tifa's heart.
>>320152559
I don't think I've ever seen this picture unedited.
>>320152839
Tidus is pretty based, just because you can't look past his family issues doesn't mean that's his entire character.
Yuri from Tales of Vesperia
>>320152874
>Serph from Digital Devil Saga
>has a plot point about getting a vagina
>>320152559
Man, this is hard, OP. You could have at least left out the silent part.
Shulk was a pretty cool guy.
>>320158163
>Cross dresses
>Can date a black man
>Has a giant boner for Zack
Nah, he's pretty gay desu
If we consider anime noncanon

That Stocke guy from Radiant Historia, the DS game.
Awesome game.
>>320154161
Why is Stocke so good? Literally one of the best JRPG characters who had good character development without something dumb or retarded happening to justify it.
>>320161348
How was Valkyrie Chronicle 3? Is it as good as 1 or as bad as 2?

>>320152559
Zidane Tribal.
>non-retarded
Check, he's fairly quick-witted.
>non-faggot (literally and figuratively)
Check, he's very popular with women and a total bro.
>non-pathetic
Check, he's upbeat and determined almost the entire game, the only time he loses his cool lasts for all of 5 minutes and has sweet-ass music to boot.
>non-silent MALE MAIN PROTAGONISTS
Check, obviously.

Hell yeah.
>>320164674
if you want armpits, ffxiii-3
if you want an actual story, TiTs:SCGo play FC first you faggot

>doesn't do no bitching when he's gotta sacrifice himself
Seems legit.
>>320155709
Fuck Kalas, he is a fag
NOW THIS IS A REAL MAN
>>320153506
To be fair Geddoe is even better. He's just an old survivor tired of True Runes and all that shit. And he has a crew he trusts.
>>320152559
why did you make this thread again? Because you got proved wrong last time and are now making it at a different time of day to hope to save face?
>>320158461
I prefer JRPGs but DAMN that picture is cherry picked.
>>320152839
tidus in x is literally a dream given form that jecht made while being sin, based off his real son, that he purposefully gave a shitty experience so that tidus would hate and end him becuase he realized what bullshit sin and yevon was and it was the way to actually free spira because jecht was actually a 10/10 guy and a true hero

You're just going to attempt to explain how any possible answer "doesn't count" using subjective points anyway, but Nier. (Gestalt Nier)
>>320152559
that one dude from final fantasy tactics advance
>>320156401
Shes more manly than most JRPG protagonists.
>>320166581

Atrushan
>>320166872
But Marche is retarded, pathetic, and a faggot
>>320167735
Then Ramza. He ain't no fag man.
>>320154471
>Non-retarded
>>320166360
To be fair, WRPGs that aren't CRPGs are pretty shit nowadays.CRPGs might not be very high budget, but damn they're in a decent place right now
>>320166496
Why would you even ask then?
>>320152559
Rance
>Non-retarded
He can be quite cunning when he wants to seduce a girl
>non-faggot
Only fucks girls, and he fucks lots of them
>non-pathetic
He conquers empires and fucks girls while East Germany anthem plays
>Non-silent
He talks
Sora
>>320169297
>non-faggot
Most of the Seiken Densetsu 3 male protagonists fall into that.
>>320166364
>Ject was based
>tfw we'll never get a 10 prequel with Ject as the MC to see his full story
I'd pay for that. I'd pay full price.
>>320166364
No? That's not what happened.
That's not what happened at all.
>>320169121
Rance is honestly the only male protagonist that I've ever actually enjoyed playing as, pretty much any game could be improved 20fold just by having him as the main character. Reminds me I still need to finish 03
>>320152903
>Main Protagonist
FFVI doesn't have a main protagonist, and if it did, it wouldn't be Locke.
>>320152559
>non-retarded
Very clever, ends up leading a crew and armada
>non-faggot
Lusts after women, most likely banged both love interests after game ends
>non-pathetic
Charismatic and optimistic throughout game, inspires practically every character(villians aside) to not be such bitches
The secret of this thread is that OP just wants JRPG discussion.
Shinjiro Taiga from Sakura Wars
>>320152559
>Rance
>Yuri Lowell
>Joshua Astray
>Hector
>Ike
>>320162735
I found him boring as a protag, just a nigga doing his job as a time altering assassin not-prince fulfilling his job.
There really isnt much personality to him
>>320158163
>>320159768
What's funny is that Japanese people are acting butthurt that Cloud doesn't look like a faggot in the remake.

Ryudo starts out as one of the greatest JRPG protags, but towards the end he gets a little too soft

This guy's alright. His brother is everything wrong with jap characters, though.
>>320152935
This is a good answer. A shame his game is kinda shit.
>>320176830
Uh... But he does? Skinny motherfucker looking broody as fuck.
>>320164024
It's some reality shattering shit that he's actually an FF main character.
>>320164927
Hella jelly of Agate.
>>320169121
The uncaring rapist part is kind of a downer.
>>320152559
Fei. He has every fucking trope imaginable, but he's a martial arts master. He doesn't get whiny or broody for longer than an hour in game, and that was only after accidentally murdering everyone he loves because his bumpkin ass got in the robot.
>>320153759
.... Whatever...
