Your favorite group of friends in a game?

I’m a fan of Final Fantasy 7’s AVALANCHE and the bros Snake and Otacon from MGS. How about you, SW?

Cortana and Space Force Marines. ;o

H.M. Gears and the Gang. :P

That is cringe.

My favorite duo is Alan Wake and Barry Wheeler. Group of friends, the guys in Battlefield Bad Company are HILARIOUS together.

Crono and the gang from Chrono Trigger. 👍

Does your crew in Mass Effect count as friends?

If not I'll pick Paper Mario companions.

The Investigation Team from Persona 4 Golden

FFX

Its hard not to talk about Final Fantasy when it comes to in game friends... that stand by me trailer for 15 was great and it always made me think about all the games of old.

So you can pick a lot of games here, Balthier and Penelo in 12, and Cecil and Kain in 4.... but my pic is Vanille and Fang in 13. That ending was something and worth the trip.

GTAV love it or hate it the dynamics between Michael, Trevor, and Franklin was very well done.

The dialogue between the 3 was funny as hell too

I find Persona games have lovable casts of characters.

Vito and Joe from Mafia 2.

That

These 2 are Gold together.

Persona 4, hands down.

I have to go Persona 4 followed by FFX

Lots of Persona love in here. You just love to see it.

@Miyomatic: indeed. Persona 5 doesn’t quite have the same magic as P4G when it comes to characters

I always thought Master Chief and Cortana seemed pretty tight. Almost like family.

Agent 47 and Diana were a solid team. They have the same dynamic as as Master Chief and Cortana, in many ways.

A lot of the Bioware games have good team member dynamics and while you can get really close to a lot of people in their games, they sort of either become lovers or work friends....they don't really seem like friend-friends because you're always their boss or significant other. Still, I think it is worth counting.

@SolidGame_basic: Completely agree. P4G is by far the best Persona game imo be because of the group and the journey for truth, not just in society but within ourselves.

The group of friends in the first three Mass Effect games was quite good.

You really don't. Very weeb game.

Colette and Lloyd from Tales of Symphonia. I'm not going to spoil it, but their friendship takes a few wrong turns over the course of the game, yet they still remain friends.

Shadow Heart cast is memorable for me.

Sonic's friends for the most part but it's basically just Sonic & Tails. (Knuckles as well in certain situations)

What bioware doesn't realize about mass effect is that the supporting characters make up the complete picture of gameplay and not just the story... In Andromeda they give you this super soldier who can learn everything he/she wants and negates a need to rely on the supporting cast.... It was Andromeda biggest crime in my opinion.

In order to restore mass effects greatness the next game has to allow me to rely on the gameplay skills of my supporting characters and limit what I can do to a class. It's gotta be about the sum of its parts when choosing squad.

Snake & Grey Fox frenemies in Metal Gear series

Sonic gang

Streets of Rage vigilante gang of crime-fighters

Hiro's party in Lunar 2: Eternal Blue

Crono crew in Chrono Trigger

Avalanche eco-terrorist organization in Final Fantasy VII

Grandia adventurers

Phoenix Wright & Maya Fey partnership in Ace Attorney

Okazaki & friends in Clannad

Okabe mad scientist group in Steins Gate

@Jag85: steins gate is a great reference!

@pc_rocks: don’t you have buddies on Roblox?

Sora, Donald and Goofy deserves a shout too.

No mentions for the Uncharted gang

Nobody mentioned the RDR2 crew? What is wrong with this forum??? Wish they made a prequel, i want to go to Tahiti with all of them alive.

Honestly that's a fantastic point and a great idea. Speaking personally, I think I forgot about the group as a whole due to the big, huge, gigantic, absolutely massive size of the game and the countless other things that took my attention. This human attention span ain't good enough, I need an upgrade.

The companions in Planescape Torment, Chrono Trigger, Persona 4 Golden are the ones that came to my mind first

In my OG post I should have included the Mass Effect crew.

Unforgivable I know. :P

The Mass Effect crew ... specially in the Citadel DLC ... so much fanservice that is actually good.

The Chrono Trigger crew, they are pretty amazing.
