Not just in JRPG, hes the most badass in video game history.Theres no logic in the pictures you posted. Its just a bunch of JRPG with similar looking protagonists. You do know i could probably do the same with FPS' and a host of other genres?
Besides that, look at the pics posted.

And its so very unfortunate that we rarely get to see characters like him in JRPGs.
the first 2 paraiste eve and vagrant story sadly are games that haven't gotten any sequels.. eve got 1 on ps1... vagrant story == zero and its a damn shame!! I bet if they ever did make a sequel to vagrant story it would be handheld only and it would have the little monster races like in advanced 2 and it would be tailored to children... totally ruining it.. but they won't make a sequel so I guess my complaints are moot. Thankfully though parasite eve is getting seqeul on psp...but it was announced 3 years ago an only 3 screenshots have ever been shown... ft hell is wrong with them?No, I think they are fine.

Yes thers logic. Every time i play a JRPG other than FF i get theset type of characters. Dont get me wrong, i was gonna say that this happens with all genres so dont bother saying JRPG suck cause i was gonna post the pic some guy below already posted. I forgot to say that. Heck FF is my favorite franchise, and KH is one of my favorite also. The only DQ i played, wich was 8, is one of my favorite ps2 games. But these level 5 and tric ace JRPG, ugh, they are always the same ****.Theres no logic in the pictures you posted. Its just a bunch of JRPG with similar looking protagonists.

this pic seems suitable for this thread, same thing can be said for western devs apparently

To be fair to Mass Effect, their design is based off an actual person. So is Riddick for that matter.
And force unleashed.
Auron alone owns every character in a video game. This guy puts chuck norris to shame. Who says Nomura cant design male characters? Drakes_FortuneIts hilarious too because Auron looks exactly like Bruce Willis, which makes his ownage increase even more.. That being said, J in jrpg, means Japan.. It is a different culture that have different views on media.. Really we could make this exact same conclusion with the american characters often bieng a one man army or a steroid popping maniac who has little to no personality..

Please, show us original characters then. Like Drake, right? : DDystopian-XWhat about drake? You dont see many like him in games, at least not that well done. But like i said, auron is the best.

I think that speaks more for the type of JRPGs you play than the genre as a whole
Looks like you're the one doing that from my perspective.
And there is no logic in the games you've chosen. You went from White Knight Chronicles to Phantasy Star Universe to Chrono Cross. Basically what you've done is pic and chose games where the main characters look alike. You didn't for example gather every JRPG from this gen or select a bunch from 1 developer. Its too random and the sample is too small. You can even look at the first page of this thread, look at the pictures posted by ther users and see alot of variety.
Your topic title says JRPGs so i was assuming you were talking about every devleoper in the field. But if you actually meant just these devs then yeah, i can see a point.

the only character that actually reminds me of auron is arumat from star ocean 4. they both have that quiet personality, but you know they are badass and deadly

I think TC's gripe revolves around Anime-styIe characters
Which are very similar. You'd be suprised on how many game artist at one point drew manga or worked anime. I believe almost all of them are anime fans. JRPGs usually follow an Anime styIeand some of the more unique ones follow the styIe of whatever Art directer wants.
I notice a lot of the character look quite young with an emphasis on spiky hair and feminine feaures.
I think it's a lady-boyculture thing where importance is placed more on youth, feminine beauty and emo. It's pretty big
^^
It's a cultural thing and mass market appeal. In Western Society heroes tend to be Grizzly, rugged, tough and confident.
This is just not in games but movies and music as well.
Action films- Bruce Willis, Wesley Snipes, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Vin Diesel....
this is why I hate JRPGs, anime, and all this stuff coming out of Japan.
Sorry to offend, but I prefer games from countries that don't go overboard with imagination. But use enough of it to make a solid game...
.. Alot of animes don't go overboard with character design.. Infact cartoons from Japan are way ahead US animation when it comes to cinema in which characters often are extremely realistic looking.. While the US version is either a characture, or is extremely simple rounded off character that could only be seen as realistic in the most base of means... (I am looking at you Marvel Comics in their animated movies they release).[QUOTE="ShadowriverUB"][QUOTE="Drakes_Fortune"]Auron alone owns every character in a video game.

Not just in JRPG, hes the most badass in video game history.He is pretty badass, but IMO this guy is more badass.
JRPG: Sissy characters; FFXIII is changing though.
WPPG: Macho dude or Elven characters that people seems to be obsessed with. IMO I want to give them an Otoplasty surgery every time I see an Elven bastard.
