      Isaac hands down. it sort of killed something in me when he wasn't the main character in GS2, and it killed something else in me when Isaac began to talk.

        And Felix somehow caught the mute bug.

          yeah...what's up with that? though he does start talking again in the end game dialogue when they all return home.

            One of gaming`s many mysteries. I always hated mute protagonists. They say it helps you imagine what the character is like, but it just makes you not interested. Or less atleast.

              eh, it depends. i don't mind mute protagonists at all. a lot of great games have them (ie. Golden Sun, Ys, Zelda, etc.). i don't mind talking protagonists either, but their dialogue has to be really good. no stating the obvious like "Look! The enemy approaches!"

                Felix has an interesting story and background, and an ACTUAL personality. All of the characters in Golden Sun were pretty much cardboard cut-outs, but Felix was the most fleshed out piece of cardboard.

                Isaac is a typical obligatory hero with a cool haircut and that's pretty much all he has going for him. I don't understand why you all fap over him as much as you do except for the usual fanboyism =/

                  you make good points, but i still prefer Isaac. i guess it's because of how they made Felix appear in the first game, which kinda changed in the second game.

                    Issac.
                    He's so cool they had to include him in Brawl.

                      I usually prefer characters that are like Felix, but c'mon; Isaac is Isaac, and that's all you need to know.

                        I still see no good reason to like Isaac anymore than the dozens and dozens of hero characters that are exactly like him.

                        8| I don't DISLIKE him, I guess I just think he's a bit overrated.

                        I'm talking about this portrayal in TLA of course, when the player doesn't control his actions and he's left to assume his own "personality."

                          Issac just has a feel to him, because you're right, he is the spikey haired generic jap.

                            I'm going with Felix. He's the type of hero I want to be. The guy that knows what needs to be done so he just freaking does it. Except for the part where he jumps off the lighthouse after Sheba. Dumbass...

                                Yeah, but only as an Assist Trophy. ;)

                                Felix's battle theme was a part of the song they put in from GS, though, I think. I'm not sure if he got a mention in the game at all aside from that. (which really wasn't a mention, but it's close! =P)

                                  I'm guessing he hadn't been layed for like, 6 months so he was ready to jump after the ugliest ho he could find. And he found Sheba.

                                    And she ain`t the ugliest ho in the world. I mean, GS3 Sheba is smoking, but she`s got some moves.

                                      Isaac FTW.

                                      In reality, all of the characters are special because if they're not special then there is no point to telling their story. Honestly, it comes down to a matter of preference.

                                      I like Isaac because he is easy to relate to; just a homebody thrown into this random mess (obligatory isn't always bad), someone who really doesn't want to go out and save the world, but has to come to terms with the decision.

                                        Most of the characters in Golden Sun are hardly that memorable; the only party member in the first game who managed to have any influence on the storyline was Ivan, everybody else including Isaac was just a magical sack of potatoes.

                                        The 'antagonists' were far more fleshed as far as I remember.

                                          I voted Isaac because I'm a tool.

                                          Also because I played GS1 first.

                                            Most of the characters in Golden Sun are hardly that memorable; the only party member in the first game who managed to have any influence on the storyline was Ivan, everybody else including Isaac was just a magical sack of potatoes.

                                            The 'antagonists' were far more fleshed as far as I remember.

                                            But I like potatoes...

                                                This actually the case with a lot of stories. The bad guys tend to be much more interesting than the good guys. I suppose most of the time story writers make the protagonist a blank canvas for the player or reader to insert themselves into.

                                                Most of the time this doesn't work as well as they hope it to. Or maybe it does... *looks at poll*

                                                    Isaac. I know everything points to Felix; he was taken from his home at a young age and brought somewhere completely different than where he grew up, exposed to the perils and plight of the world, and immediately cast into a role of responsibility (gee, sounds like Magus). But! My biggest qualm was he had one UGLY mask during the first game. I never liked that portrait. I just got so used to using Isaac, and that dislike of Felix's portrait carried over, so I just couldn't wait to get Isaac back. Besides, Felix was kind of overshadowed by Piers.
