#i love ludger. i love jude. but xillia's story really is something lmao

[troofless]

alright here's my current tales of protagonist rankings.

Can't get more based than Yuri, the guy with highest ship potential, sick sounding VA, sick moves, king of witty remarks, backflips and RESOUNDING CRY OF VICTORY in his victory quotes, adopted a dog with his boyfriend... yeah

Ludger's comedic potential hits the roofs. Hit me with that 'I'm not wearing clothes in my Chromatus outfit' and Nova confession to Julius reveal shocked sprite. His design is amazing I love the tie and suspenders and the black highlights because his dumb ass thought it would look cool. Loves to backflip, especially in that one skit to distract Jude. Unfortunately he's placed into a world where he has to dating sim the Xillia 1 cast lmao like a separate game for the Xillia 1 epilogue and his story would have been better (though his story sure has fillers with the Waymarker collections...). You know what, his story could have been a gacha game. Isn't it literally FGO?

Jude lives in an unfortunate world where he, as an illegally practising doctor without a medical license, is 15. HOW. I swear he's at least mentally 18. Immediate simpery for this girl he just met with an incredibly thin waistline aside, he really said THESE HANDS and went to punch the living daylights out of god. Also the way he trusts Alvin when Alvin spends every 5 minutes betraying them is so fucking funny like yeah he sure would hook up with a guy like Alvin. Also he hits on everyone. He's the harem king. Milla, Elize, Leia, Muzet, Aska, Ludger, he has them all.

Idk what you're talking about if you don't say Lloyd isn't cool. Man wields two swords in battle because he thinks they have twice the power and renders Kratos (the GOAT) speechless, flips his swords up and down in his victory pose, dude tries to feed a grandma and gets kicked out of the village because of it, the tries to scam Colette into giving her hot/cold/hot coffee, etc. etc...

Luke gets the most points for having the most memorable scenes. 'It's not my fault!' 'I don't want to die!' 'Now is all I have' like bro how could you not hug him and tell him it's alright? His personal struggle as a clone and how he grows to face Asch is the most fascinating thing to see in Abyss. (Also Tear is a jerk and Natalia is mid and Anise shouldn't exist and Ion fucking sucks and Guy and Jade are GOATS...)

Sorey is just a regular guy. Just a good guy. Really outstanding pure vessel. Go save the world, with your boyfriend and your other ghost friends, boy.

Unnaturally thin waist aside, Milla is a character that sets out to do what she has to do and doesn't look back, and as the unwavering pillar of the cast she does her job perfectly. But like that's all you can say about her.

Velvet is edgy and her whole character arc is about making you feel sorry for her and wanting to hug her 👍 I haven't finished playing the game but that's the vibes I got. At least she did what she set out to do, which is to kill the inheritor of Savage Wolf Fury.
