Since there seems to be a pretty big RPG fan base here, I thought I would see what characters you all typically like.
My favorite has always been the archer. It might have started with Warcraft II, when I fell in love with the Elven archers. Since then, some other archers that I have loved: Preistess of the Moon & Dark Ranger (Warcraft III), Wil (Fire Emblem) and Diego (Vandal Hearts). Plus in create your own character types, I usually go for them. Even in games where they are not very good, such as Fire Emblem, I still tend to overuse them.
So how about the rest of you? In case you are confused by the categories, I'll give you a few examples of them all:
Warrior/Barbarian: Like Fire Emblem's Ross, Garcia, etc.
Knight/Paladin: Like Warcraft's Paladins/Knights, FF4's Cecil
Archer/Sniper: Like Wacraft's archers, Fire Emblem's Wil, Rebecca,etc.
Thief: Like FF7's Yuffie
White Mage: Like FF4's Rosa
Summoner/Black Mage: Like FF9's Vivi, FF10's Yuna
Hm, I tried to use a mix of games, but ended up only using Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem, and Warcraft. Haha, oh well, that should give you a good idea of the classes anyway, being that all of those characters are pretty well known. Plus most of these classes are pretty obvious.
