/jp/ - Otaku Culture

My answer: Gahahahahaha.

yeah, Shiki

Morita from Sharin is still unsurpassed.
Or Aqua during the chapter 2 of Himawari, since you saw that story from her POV I guess it count.

Rin Tohsaka in the prologue.

I would say Shiki, but then I remembered that both of them count via technicalities.

Me

Fuminori from Saya no Uta. Why? Because playing someone who is totally insane is awesome.

We're similar in many ways, so I guess that's why.

Shiki's next, then i guess Taku from Chaos;head.

>>2871704
I think the OP is talking about main protags.
If you could count POVs, then there are too many choices. Choosing a one of them is stupid.

Shiki for me too, though.

So by and large, Shiki

/thread?

Zwei.
Or this guy.

>>2871757
No matter what claims of "entry level" are made, /jp/ will always have a place in its cold black heart for Tsukihime. Also Shiki is just that awesome.

But Shiki is just an anemic schoolboy who mainly serves as the Nasu's self-insertion character.

I like Tsukihime, but how could anyone actually like Shiki?

>>2871770
he enjoys life, and accepts his death

>>2871757
Because most people on /jp/ have only played Tsukihime.

>>2871770
Cool story bro

>>2871761

Moritaa Keiichiiiiii

>>2871774
More people on /jp/ have played FSN than Tsukihime.

>>2871770
You're not Nasu, so should it matter if Shiki's character is based on him?

I have no idea why I'm responding to you seriously.

>>2871757
No. Shiki is a faggot

Yuuichi from Wanko to Kurasou.

>>2871770
he's a fun protagonist. he's calm, and lives his life in a way that deserves respect. and he has depth, calling him a schoolboy doesn't make him any less of an interesting person.

>>2871761
Zwei too.
He's manly not a fag with glasses.

The protagonist from Brass Restoration.

Shiki is what, a 16 year old virgin? And yet when he gets some he instantly turns into some pornstar.

>>2871792
I thought I was the only one anonymous.

>>2871813

Nah.

I enjoyed him because he could somehow be a complete ass but looking out for the person's well-being at the same time.

>>2871812
You must be new here. See there's these things called h-scenes, and most of 'em are played for eroticism...

>>2871798
He doesn't really have depth.
He isn't bad, especially since Tsukihime is only a doujin, but he is a little "uneven".
I think a lot of people here are seeing him through nostalgia goggles or are thinking about the fan material too much.
He really didn't do anything out of the ordinary and his narration was neither really interesting or engaging.

>>2871783
No one wants to relate to Shirou because he is an idiot with a superman complex.

Still, it's not as if their knowledge of VN is vast anyway.

Either Katsuki, Romeo or Shitman.

>>2871832
Shiki's mentality is actually unique compared to most leads, with his stance in death, and the lengths he goes for who he decides is his most important person.
The problem with Shiki is that he is mostly similar in all his routes. Aka, like most ledas in VNs, he doesn't have a really different growth per route.
Of course, that means if you like him in one of them, you will like him in all of them.

>>2871849
Shiki unique?
I'm sorry, but LOL

Shirou.

>>2871849
>>Shiki's mentality is actually unique compared to most leads, with his stance in death
It's not that uncommon really, and it's not that developed in Tsukihime anyways.
Not at the extent of something like Konata yori Kanata Made or something.

>>2871798

Shiki is a generic, faceless protagonist in Tsukihime. How could he have depth? The heroines are the true stars of the game.

I think people are just confusing the doujinshi with the actual game like >>2871832 said. It's the same thing that goes on with Touhou.

>>2871870
>>2871876
>>2871880
Then the trolls arrive, as they always do, led by the king clown of trolls himself.

And they aren't funny at all.

>>2871880
Shiki has depth in Tsukihime, it's just more prominent in Kagetsu Tohya and Melty Blood.

>>2871876
It is.
Most people are plagued or ignore their traumas.
Shiki, exactly because of what he has been through, learns to appreciate his life for what it is.
This is usually the END result.

Though I will admit that I view Shiki as a whole ,aka with the added depth, backstory and dialogue provided by Kagetsu and Melty.

But he is definitely not 'faceless' in Tsukihime.
Not my favorite stand-alone, but he has an obvious characterization that can be appealing.
Plus, prone to rape.

Romeo I think, I have a soft spot for unmotivated cynical fucks, and he actually was an adult for a change.
As far as schoolboy self-inserts go, Shirogane Takeru is pretty cool.
I haven't played Sharin, G-string or CC though, I hear they have great mains.

Also, I liked Shirou as a main character. The fucking stupid thought process is rageworthy, I agree, but I just see it as part of the story. Just like most stories begin with boring-as-ass everyday shit to set things up, so the fucked up thought process was needed in order to build up the other routes.
Also, I think many losers had the white knight "I'll be a carpet for those around me so I won't be hated" phase anyways, he reminded me of that.

Shirou.
Though Keiichi certainly had his moments.

>>2871915
I agree, but I hate Shirou for the same reason why I hate Superman. But that's all right, it's not you played FSN for Shirou right?

I liked Hakuoro, if only because he reminded me of the Nameless One from Torment.

WHY HAVE I BEEN FORGOTTEN?

>>2871942
>>But that's all right, it's not you played FSN for Shirou right?

I played it for Gilgamesh.

I like protagonists who provides a really unique POV.
Like Taichi from Cross Channel or Kazuki from Hello, World.

>>2871944
VN not SRPGs.

BlackIris

>>2871942
This doesn't make any sense.
Wanting to help people alone is a reason to hate him?
That's the only similarity they have.

>>2871949

You don't exist, sorry bro.

>>2871904
>> it's just more prominent in Kagetsu Tohya and Melty Blood
>> it's just more prominent in the silly and non-canon fun discs

I don't really see how this matters. Once again, I can't see why one would prefer Shiki over the hordes of other generic, faceless protagonists found in countless other eroge; Shiki is no more developed than the main guy in Wanko. And this Anon >>2871832 is still right on the money.

>>2871895

Where's your trip?

>>2871974
Ignoring characterization written by the author is teh cool thing these days?
Also, Shiki is nothing alike most faceless leads, due to his initial stance and interactions throughout Tsukihime.
He has an obvious character and reasoning throughout all the routes,, he doesn't just go with the flow of the events.

>>2871942
>But that's all right, it's not you played FSN for Shirou right?
I did. What else did it have going for it, power levels?

>>2871974
>non-canon
>Kagetsu Tohya

>>2872008
The actual focus on battles and their mechanics is much less then idiots want to make it so.
And if you don't like Shirou and his varied growth in the routes, along with his different interactions, Reading F/SN is almost pointless.

主人公

>>2872018

Some fan you are, Jones! Nasu literally calls it a "fun disc". I even think it's on the game's CD case.

>>2872040
Fan disc, as in 'Supplement content for another release', aka not standalone.
As in, 'Pointless without reading Tsukihime, since it involves these characters'.
Weak trolling, man.

>>2872040
It's on the menu screen, too--but does that make it any less canon?

I always thought of KT as an "expansion pack" of sorts, similar to, say, Brood War.

>>2872040
A fun disc isn't any less canon provided the same author wrote it. It just changes the story so obviously the way of reacting is different, but the character is the same.

>>2871915
g-string's main so far is friggin boring, though to be fair I havn't gone that far. But so far he's boring, has no backbone in front of his father-dude, has hardly any social sense which is pretty apparent in his conversations. Makes me wonder how he's so good with his business. And his talks about bach are terrible...the only fun parts were when he was playing god, which I must admit was pretty funny

>>2871974
Or maybe a lot of people just disagree with you and he does have an interesting point of view about things. The fact that you are who you are is reason enough for you to go kill yourself, regardless of the topic at hand.
