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've had a lot of favorites over the years, but right now my favorite is Rixia Mao from the Trails games. There's a lot there that's easy for me to connect with, especially the idea of going to a foreign city for a job, not planning on staying, but falling in love with the city and its people unexpectedly. Her story is also a beautiful, subtle portrayal of depression. Plus she's gorgeous and fun in combat. She's not a leading character, but I'm really rooting for her in the continuing series all the same.

My favorite villain in the genre is Luca Blight from Suikoden II. It goes to show that you don't need a complex, layered backstory to write a good antagonist. Sometimes portraying the enemy as a twisted, unstoppable force of nature is enough, and the game does that well in both his scenes and his gameplay.
