The Top *Insert Number Here* RPG Characters!

[MrBRulzOK]

I'm a freaking machine, I know.

But yes, seeing as there have been so many Top *Insert number here* lists lately I've decided that I wanted to take a crack at one myself. And thus I decided that since there seemed to be alot of representation for it during the recent Top Video Games list, I figure a list of RPG characters would be worthwhile.

So it's pretty simple: you send me a list of thirty characters. Depending on the order determines how many points they get. For example 30th place gets 1, 29th 2, so on and so on.

In order to qualify for the list the character has to receive at least two votes. So anybody who only gets one person voting for them will be excluded. Though I may include all of those in a separate list if anybody is interested to see what obscure characters got votes.

I'll be accepting both Eastern and Western RPG Characters: so Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Mass Effect, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Persona and the rest of the Shin Megami Tensei games, Suikoden, The Mother Series, the Saga games, Baldur's Gate, Star Ocean, Xenosaga, Shadow Hearts, Dot Hack Sign, Phantasy Star, Ogre Battle, and the like are all eligible. In addition I'll also allow tactical strategy RPGs nominees so games like Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre, Vandal Hearts, Jeanne De Arc, Fire Emblem, Kartia, Luminous Arc, Brigadine, Disgaea, and all the others like that are also eligible.

The only exclusions I shall make are characters that did not originally spawn from RPGs. So both games like the Bioware Sonic RPG, Dynasty Warriors Tactics games, and Mega Man X Maverick Hunters RPGs are excluded unless it's a character that is exclusive to the RPG. I don't want to muddy things up, after all. I'm also excluding Zelda because I consider it more of an action title with RPG elements. This goes for similiar style games such as Brainlord, Illusion of Gaia, Alundra, and the like as well.

I'm also iffy on stuff like Pokemon as well even though they are RPGs and I don't want the list flooded with various ones. This also goes for Jade Cocoon, Monster Rancher, and anything else similar.

I also ask that you only include playable characters or bosses. Though I don't expect too many NPC type characters to get too many votes.

I will ask that you not post your lists in this thread unless you do so using Spoiler tags. Otherwise please PM them to me with an appropriate title.

Depending on how many lists and nominees I get will determine exactly how long this list shall be. I'll be submitting my own list as well, but to be fair I will work on that one first so I'm not influenced by any of the other lists sent in.

So who shall it be? Will we see Vivi sweep things like he did the Final Fantasy Character tournament I did awhile back? Will the worthless Jogurt get a single vote? Will anyone nominate someone from an obscure title like Robotrek? Am I in way over my head here?

All these questions and more shall be answered when this list finally comes to light.

The deadline is August 17th. Two weeks should be plenty of time for everybody to get their lists in.

I'll get to work on my list soon.

[Big Bad Brad]

I sent you an email asking if a certain game counts in this.

[J is Justice]

I'll send a list, soon.

[Dub H]

This is some hard work .Hard to order then.

[Big Bad Brad]

Double H has no idea what you old fool is talking about

Double H always makes talking in the third person cool,because Double H has the style to do so!

[Big Bad Brad]

Got my list sent in.

[MrBRulzOK]

So far I have two lists for those keeping score. Not a bad start.

[Chronos]

I think this'll be easier than my games list to sort out. Should be fun. (Should also be fun to see what 30 Suikoden characters Brad picks. )

[J is Justice]

Does it have to be 30? Or is it any number up to 30?

As many you can think of up to that point. If you can't give me thirty then that's fine.

Actually I didn't do 30 Suikoden characters I tried not to have that many I choose characters from various games.

[MrBRulzOK]

As of now I have three lists, not including my own.

Still plenty of time for more to be turned in.

[MrBRulzOK]

Only four days remain and coincidentally I only have four lists thus far. Ideally I'd like to reach at least double digits, but we'll work with whatever happens. I don't want all that list-making to be for naught.

[Chronos]

I'll have mine in tomorrow, hopefully. I'm finalizing it.

[MrBRulzOK]

I've decided that due to the lack of lists thus far that I'm gonna extend the deadline by another week. That way more folks have time to get those lists in.

So we're now looking at August 24, 2012.
