Originally posted by SaiKarI should have commented on this earlier.A real hero isn't someone who gets forced into anything. If some guy has his village burned down and has people trying to kill them, and he fights back, that's not heroism. That's a survival instinct. There's no way to "quit" that sort of thing save from dying. A real hero should have plenty of opportunties to turn back, to give up, but he doesn't. Even if it's the end of the world that doesn't mean the hero has to do it. He can sit back and wait for someone else to handle it, or just not care.An even better hero is the type that does something dangerous when he is not in danger himself because it's the right thing to do. This is one of the reasons I like Chrono Trigger. Lavos destroys the world in 1999. Crono, Marle, and Lucca are living in 1000. They'll be long dead before Lavos strikes. But they set out to stop him. Why? Because it's their world, darn it, and it's the right thing to do. That's heroism.
Originally posted by carmenme personally, I don't like perfect heros.I like flawed personalities that overcome seemingly impossible odds.I like stories I can identify with.well when games/stories have characters, they have their ownn personalites. If someone is all perfect, no one can relate to that character because no one's perfect (no matter what some think)So it's good to have an array of personalities that anyone could pick a feeling or an emmotion they share with that character. In essence, they build a relationship with that character.well. to put it in two words:Conflict. Sacrifice.Now what makes one "just" in this theory is if the effort is put towards a common good and not a selfish one.well there are levels of heroism.http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=hero/>check those beans.

That's heroism.Chrono Trigger is my favorite game, and it would've been more my favorite is the characters didn't suck so much.Marle "Crono, save meeeeeeeeeeeee!"Crono: *blank screen* *Sword slashed out pose*I get sick of games that never have the main character say anything. Oh:Magus: I'm an efil mage and I'm gonna cast a spell on you Glen!Glen: Oh noes I've froggerized!WTF!? The most evil man in the word turned a guy into a fricken frog. That's what fairy tales are for.And lastly.... how the heck does a sword slash an entire moutain in half to reveal a cave? It doesn't make sence.....
