Ventus is the best. If you disagree then post something here.

Kingdom Hearts Characters are either Emo's or Mary Sues (even the males).

 

I prefer more complex and believable characters rather than those that laugh one minute and then are crying the next. Kingdom Hearts is more like a game about Bipolar awareness if anything.

 

Or someone who is so exaggerated and unbelievable that it's actually awesome/ funny to watch them. Like Duke Nukem. Anyone who's slogan is "It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and we are all out of gum" is someone with mentioning.

 

Most Kingdom Hearts characters are really unrealistic and boring. It seems they try and make their characters fun and serious at the same time, which is possible but unless done properly, turns into something really awkward.

 

One minute Sora is having the time of his life and the other minute he's saying "Holy shit my family is dead and my friends are missing!"

 

Roxas is honestly one of the few believable characters in Kingdom Hearts, he would be a very good one were it not for him acting like a Zombie at the beginning of KH2.

 

But I digress, my current favorite character is John Marston from Red Dead Redemption. He used to be a terrible person but is sincerely trying to turn his life around and reunite with his family. He is a very human character who has appropriate reactions to the scenarios he is in and is pretty badass in general.

 

John Marston is also one of my favourite protagonist list for reasons you said and these.He's as flaws,his goals make sense,he does whatever he can for people he cares about even if it means his own life(and game doesn't copout of it),he tries to redeem himself from what he has done in the past and he is perfect mix of John Wayne and Clint Eastwood.I am not usually fan of Rockstars protagonist but John is the best character since Andrew Ryan and RDR has one of best ending you could ask for in a game.

Also the thing about unbelievably characters is that they have to be believable within there our world which something kh struggles with.Characters like Nathan Drake and joseph capelli even crazier ones like Sander Cohen and The Duke fit there worlds and fit characters they are displayed and interact according to there character to thing that can't happen.They can make you care about character and what's going on because they done like character from good fictional book.Characters in kh at times don't feel like they been from same game and don't fit what games going for.In KH i cared about Beast more than the other characters because character goals made sense and character fit personally he was given and he had good reasons to accomplish his goals didn't go around changing like he was bi-polar.Going to end this though but could write whole editorial on this.

1. aqua's boobs

 

now thats out of the way, i honestly think that axel is my favorite character. i have a feeling he has a lot of story left in him.

 

second is probably sora. just because.

 

third is xigbar/braig. i think we will learn even more about him in ddd, and i am excited as hell. he has quite an interesting perspective on the whole saga.

Axel is the BEST!!

I like Ven, but Aqua is my top fave KH character.
