can you come up with 3 RPGs in which the protagonist dies right at the start or before the game starts?
i can only come up with 2. one is pic related and the other one is your main character in dragon's dogma.
also, slightly related: just finished FFX, is FFX-2 any good? always stopped playing after a few hours but i can't remember anything because it was so long ago.

Resonance of Fate. 3 times.
>>329631449
just solved it myself: dark souls.
okay, let's make it 5 then.

Tidus isn't dead though.
He was never alive in the first place. He was just a dream.
Did you even play the game?
Shulk was apparently dead since before the start of the game, but than he decided to stop being dead near the end.
Tiz from Bravely Default also was a walking corpse
Tidus never dies.
>>329631703
He used to read word up magazine?
>>329631530
>>329631642
fuck, you're good. thought it would be harder.
>>329631703
i just finished it seconds ago. he was a dream but before that he was alive, right? i thought they would just dream of how it was back then in zanarkand (which was destroyed).
Xenogears?Protagonist is a reincarnation of the same dude for the last 10,000 years

>he was a dream but before that he was alive, right?
No, he was only ever a dream. There was never a real Tidus.
>>329631934
He was always a "dream." Just think of him as a little aeon.

>"What if the main character was dead for no reason and with no evidence to support it."
>>329632121
>>329632130
ok, just read up on it. looks like you're right.
>He, along with all of Zanarkand, is a dream of the Fayth made real through the massive summoning. He is akin to an aeon.
i thought all off that was real in the past, well shit.
so anybody played x-2? i can only remember guns that put my 10 year younger self off back then.

The first two intro videos are literally a character dying and and then the same character and another character dying. And then the third character dies before the game starts as well, but you find that out later.
Also the antagonists all die and come back to life.
The game is pretty top tier.

Zanarkand existed, but the people in Dream Zanarkand aren't 1:1 replicas of the original Zanarkand's citizens.X-2 shows who the "real" Tidus was though

Love this game so much. Got the platinum but haven't gotten around to beating all the successive difficulty modes.
>>329632791
Isn't there just pro?
There's harder modes than pro?!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXb7SnCpXpc

I'm not making this shit up.
>>329631449
is FFIV any good? and which version should I get?
>playing through ffx for the first time in over 10 years
>all this shit i didn't pick up as a kid
>that massive apprehensive debate about playing x-2 afterwards

Gives me chills everytime.

>Zenith
My dick is diamonds. I thought I knew all there was to know about this game. I'm gonna go back and play my professional run. That was the only thing I had to do to finish my platinum.
>>329633259
i had this as well. didn't remember at all that it's so fucking linear. just remembered fucking around in the endgame.
>>329633374
For english voice acting, Lagerfeld delivers a fucking amazing chapter.
HOW SHOULD WE MARK THEIR GRAVES!?

The World Ends With You
The protagonist dies an joins a death game for a chance of revival
>>329631449
>protagonist dies right at the start
>FFX
What?
>>329633852
>The protagonist was actually dead all along!
>BUT THAT'S JUST A THEORY :)
>>329633852
read the thread, i fucked up
>>329633631
>The protagonist dies
Correction, basically the entire cast of characters has died at some point.
>>329633993
Well if it's any consolation, one of the FFX party members does properly qualify for being dead before the start of the game.
>>329634543
true but i wanted the protagonist to make it more difficult. but the thread showed me that being dying before/at the start of the game isn't really that unique.
>>329634543
>we will never get a ffx prequel
it hurts
>>329634798
how far? just braska, jecht and auron adventuring?
>>329635110
fuck yeah. Like X-2 but actually good.
>>329635302
would be difficult to make the story interesting, wouldn't it? would be kinda lame to just end it with auron dying when he tried to avenge braska & jecht.
>>329635491
Journey, man. Also, a little ending with Auron riding sin into Zanarkand to go watch Tidus.
>>329631642
Tbf Geralt wasn't completely dead. Him and Yen got placed on avalon by Ciri to live out there remaining lives after they were mortally wounded. It's kind of a weird situation.

Final Fantasy VIII
>>329632286
It's just a way of explaining all the plot wholes and general nonsense of the game's mess of a plot in as far as I know.
just started ffx-2
>that intro
>that custome shit
no wonder i dropped it as a kid. at least rikku iscuteif you ignore her combat animations.

Mass Effect 2?
It is technically an RPG.
