Why I Hate The Silent Protagonist In JRPGs

A bone to pick with a certain subset of empty, wooden dullards.

Why not just silent protagonists in any genre in general?

I agree, it irritates me for some reason, that my character doesn’t have a voice in destiny 1 & 2.

Persona games have good silent protagonist(s)...

Oh, Golden Sun, how I love that series!
As for silent protagonists, I don't really care. Dead Space 1 was fine, but when they introduced talking Isaac (Issac?) in D2, I didn't mind. What matters most is if the voice actor/actress is appropriate for the role.

By silent protagonist, the author means or gives the impression of meaning that the main character you as the player controls has hardly any emotion and/or has minimal impact on the other members of your party.

Yes, there are Japanese RPG's that have a silent protagonist although there are many that don't (eg. Final Fantasy from 4 on). However, there are many so-called Western RPG's that have a silent protagonist as well (eg. Oblivion, Skyrim).

I think if the author wants emotional involvement in a game then I would recommend The Witcher 3 which is not a so-called Western or Japanese game but an Eastern one. How you play a game like The Witcher 3 actually gives an insight into what type of person you are.

Indeed. These games need a resurgence on the switch.

Notellin447d ago

These are some of the best games I remember playing as a kid. We definitely need to see it come back!

gold_drake447d ago

so many things deserve a remake

I loved both on the GBA the one on DS not so much, here's a review of Golden Sun from IGN, 9.7 https://www.ign.com/article... "Camelot proves that the GBA can push out music and sounds that trounce the Super NES' capabilities" Best music from a GBA game, I think.

jznrpg446d ago

Fun games. I still have the old games and I’m all for a remake but I don’t know if they did well enough in Nintendo’s eyes for a remake or not. At least a collection would be nice.

It's Time for a New Golden Sun

Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "The franchise celebrated its 20th anniversary yesterday without a peep from Nintendo and that’s a real shame because despite only being three games deep, this is one of the best-received RPG series out there. In short, it’s time for a new Golden Sun."

Yea good luck. Put this in the pile with f-zero, kid Icarus, wario land, etc. and label it the "wt are you waiting for" pile

PrimeVinister1760d ago (Edited 1760d ago )

I would love to play a new Wario Land but it will never happen 😭😭😭

Tanoriss1760d ago

hah, seriously, they are sitting on a goldmine of IP's that they dont want to do anything with.

This has been overdue since the gamecube era

Golden Sun is a fantastic series. They should really continue it.
To say I miss Advanced Wars would be an understatement. Two of my top favorite series of the GBA.

Asuka2296d ago

My God I need more Advanced Wars in my life...

Knushwood Butt2296d ago

Advance Wars used to be portable gaming heaven for me. Great games.

BlackIceJoe2296d ago

I'd love to see a return of StarTropics. I don't think it will happen, but I'd welcome it.

addictedtochaos2296d ago

Agreed. They have a deep catalog of dormant IPs that they could reinvent for the Switch.

porkChop2296d ago

Where the hell is Golden Sun? It's been 10 years. All Camelot's been doing are Mario sports games.
