What makes a AMAZING character in a game for you?
Badassness? A Gun? Having muscles? A good voice actor? A sword 10 times the size of the character?
Also who is your favorite character in a game?!
Ofcourse there's more many more reasons!
Things I feel a AMAZING character needs:
1. Personality and/or role in plot....the character must have a striking personality, an aura of power & coolness (I had to invent a new word for this quality)!The voice acting can help a lot in this category (Solid snake) or also not help (yuna's voice actor in FFX..shudders)
Their role should be substantial, I don't like characters who are only in 1 or two scenes, apart from the lovable toads that tell us the princess is another castle!
2. Character Design....VERY important imo, they say "don't judge a book by its cover" but lets accept it most of us do, the character should have a unique design that captures my imagination!
3. Weapon and/or accessory.....this also makes characters stand out, a funky weapon or an accessory, if we see a buster sword we instantly visualize cloud (or zack) in our minds, if we see a bandana we see solid snake, if we see a mushroom, mario!
4. Theme music for the character......yes this doesn't have much to do with the character, but once in a while a characters theme music is so amazing that it makes the character seem even better! Powerful music pieces like aeriths theme come to mind!
My favorite character:
No surprise that its SOLID SNAKE --
He fulfills all the categories & imo shines in all of them!
