Seem a lot of you think it's nice that the Baldurs Gate dev took inspiration from a jrpg. Did the dev choose the correct game with Final Fantasy VII? What are your favorite chracters, character you really like or maybe an well written enemy that you hate?

I'm really bias here, but Final Fantasy X is my childhood and Yuna is for me such a well written character. Not everyone would have the gut to every start such a jouney and even less would be able to handle everything seymore does to her. Yes i think Seymore is an perfect antagonist, you just have to hate him. Tidus is fine as well, but i didn't metion him because i have other male mc's that i like more.

And Dana from Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana is one of my favorite chars as well. She just overcomes thing not everyone would be possible... hard not to spoiler and say something.

I was going to say Auron. He's my favorite.

Auron is a well written character as well. It's just subjective who is your favorite, but Auron would deserve a metion for sure as well.

Yuna is up there for me, too. She's also a popular one in Japan, placing second in an 2019 NHK poll for Final Fantasy (top 10 there in order are Cloud, Yuna, Aerith, Vivi, Zidane, Emet-Selch, Tidus, Lightning, Tifa, and Zack). The World of Final Fantasy devs also gushed over her in the in-game character notes, which was cute.

Dana's a great example of a character that really benefited from a good combination of writing and gameplay.
