Noel Kreiss from FFXIII-2.
He's a breath of fresh air after the awful cast from the first game

John Marston
>>333289243
Really most rockstar protags are at least somewhat regular guys.
>>333286752
>Who probably exhibits the qualities of an "Average Joe" the most
I hope you realize that no one likes an "average joe" or "everyman" protagonist. They tend to be the most bland and boring kind of characters imaginable and have no place in a story.
>>333289174
The voice is hardly a spoiler consideringthe scene in which you meet Victor and actually hear his voice properly for the first time is literally when it's revealed that he's a fractured Ludger
>>333286752
Daniel Dankovsky, Medical Hero!Face it, you wouldn't do any better in his position, you'd just be reduced to murdering people for loaves of bread
>>333289740
>They tend to be the most bland and boring kind of characters imaginable and have no place in a story
Except they are at the heart of most successful stories
Look at the Matrix or Star Wars, the protags are dulll as hell but the story succeeds around them
>>333286752
Dark Cloud 2
Max / Monica
Vanilla Bean from Steambot Chronicles
>>333290018
Couldn't have thought of a worse example than the fucking Matrix if you tried
>>333286873
I like this one. I choose this one.
Also Lest is pretty cool from what I remember.
>>333286752
Joel from TLOU
>>333291260
in what way
>>333286752
>>333286752
Yuri from Tales of Vesperia
Denam, Tactics Ogre. Unless you purposefully make a decision you think is unreasonable.
>>333293630
best character every day every year
>>333287936
He is. All he wants is to travel the world and perfect his technique. Nothing unreasonable about that especially if he's good enough to win fights for money and can make do with just about any situation.
I guess he doesn't count since he's bit of a naive idiot.
>>333293630
>not silent
You failed
Junpei
>>333286752
Haseo was still more interesting though, despite starting out as an edgelord.
Niko Bellic.
>>333286752
You know, anon, average joe characters are just as cliche as those aforementioned 4 character archetypes.
Geralt in witcher 3. He's pretty nothingpersonal in 1 and 2, but by 3 he's like 90something years old and pretty mellow. Dude just wants his daughter back.
>>333287456
>That's not a naive idiot
>>333286752
Stocke from Radiant Historia fits most of those outside of the Average Joe bit.
>>333295593
Well seeing as /this/ is haseo in the original 'the world', the term edgelord is vastly inadequate. Whats a stronger word than edgelord?
>>333296861
He was the very definition of an underage faggot in //SIGN.
>>333296987
and thats who haseo is. literally, same kid.
>>333295165
She spoke, just not during her game
>>333288501
Not him but he is pretty smug.
The way he fights is A++ tho desu senpai
>>333297793
This is not new information. Endrance is Elk, Yata is Wiseman, etc.
Pit
>>333286752
>That's not a smug quip master
Nuts, I was going to say Ryudo from Grandia II, but he is the smuggest of the quip masters.
>>333286752
Wonder Red.

>>333286752
bartz ff v
Kazuma Kiryu
>>333298056
Exactly, she's a silent protagonist when she was a protagonist, so she doesn't count
>>333286873
First post is best post.
>>333299264
Man, did that bird ever do anything? I remember it talking a bit at the beginning
>>333286752
Welkin from VC
>>333286752
I like Lucas from Mother 3.
Just a good natured kinda emotional kid.
>>333286752
Charles Barkley is just a normal guy protecting his son during the post—cyberapocalypse
>>333286752
Commander Shepard
>>333286752
Dan Marshall, the best protagonist of all time. He has one quip, which he uses ironically, because he's going through hell.
>>333286752
Xenoblade Chronicles.
Seriously, Shulk is 100% right on doing what he does, is a good kid looking after his people, and is smart and atentive.
>>333302140
I'll blow you all away! HAH! MONADO CYCLONE!
Definitely a quip, mate.
He's smart, kind, and a true gentleman.
You cannot find a better protagonist.
>>333302423
He's a fucking paedophile.
Next?
>>333302626
just because you're one doesn't mean everyone is
>>333286752
Lloyd
>>333286752
Tales of Eternia.
>>333302371
Is it of the smug variety or master level?
>>333300215
But did he make a reasonable decision taking all that Incan gold? Think about that.
>>333300756
I didn't know I could save Bo from that fucking dog.
Fuck Bo,I had to destroy that shit,don't get angry at me you nigger.
SHAKE SHAKE
>>333299974
>nuts n bolts banjo looks better than project spark conker
why live
Every decision he makes is pretty sound, even releasing the shadow demons from their tomb is done for a reason, then he kills them all anyway.
>>333295402
>not a smug quip master
literally the smuggest quipper in the entire series, even quippier than sigma
>>333302371
man after like the first 4 all the monado arts get real lame
>>333302423
does he actually use guns in any of the games
>>333289089
>Joel
>doomed the entire human population
He's more of a anti hero
>>333305582
Nah, that's just a parody.
>>333305689
>i never listened to the recordings claiming that killing ellie didn't really mean getting a cure.
Pay more attention
