Have you ever become emotionally attached to a videogame character?

Zack from Crisis Core. I was so sad even if i did know what would happen to him at the end of the game. I was thinking that he should have been the true hero of FF7 after that.

I'd probably say Big Boss (MGS3) and Auron (FFX).

Their story and their character just grew on me, and was honestly worried about how the game would develop for them.
They both have quite a tragic story, in the end, so maybe that's why I'm pretty attached to them. Still, for that reason they're also my favourite game characters of all time.

Other than those two old bastards, I'm pretty sure no other game ever succeeded in doing that, for me.

And if you were talking about user-created characters, nope, never really grew attached to them. Probably because 90% of the time they don't have any personality.

Agroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

I got annoyed when I watched some guy on Youtube complete Zelda Ocarina Of Time in an hour 30mins. My childhood, just down the pan there and then.

One time playing Space Station 13, a guy took me to space so i could take a gift from a magic chrismas sock, it was a sweater, i didint liked it so after saying thanks i removed my oxigen tank, my space suit and froze/choke/decompessed to death. He carried my corpse to the station and gave me proper burying, after that he just stayed on the bar, drinking and playing russian rulet until he finaly died.
A little off-topic but awsome anyways, i never found the guy again.

the Kid of Bastion... and my WoW character :D

Sure, yeah. Big Boss from MGS3, Old Snake from MGS4, Sniper Wolf from MGS, Locke and Setzer from FFVI. Mostly because of what happened to them. That's all I can think of at the moment lol.

Doooood, I totally cried when Roach died, and yet Ghost try to help him :'(

no

Tali from Mass Effect (1-2-3). My favorite vg character ever.

nope

Emotionally attached... hmm not really... But compared to all video games I played, I never liked any character as much, as I love(d) Jade, Pey'J and Double H from Beyond Good and Evil.

It was Sora from Kingdom Hearts actually.

Only a few. The main character of Yakuza (can't remember his name right now), Tali from Mass Effect (seriously, after three games, how can you not care about her?), and Ezio from Assassin's Creed.

Nier (not mentioning names to avoid spoiling) Shed a manly tear near the end!

Snake. And John Marston.

Can't say that I have.

Far more frequently than IRL.

Aerith.

Master Chief from halo.

If its a properly worked out story and characters, of course.
Aerith from FF VII as an example.

I cried when Soap from Call of Duty died because he was badass and stuff.

Yuna and Tidus

RC-1207 from Star Wars: Republic Commando
I love you Sev

I play football manager a lot, and play very long (multi-decade) save games. So yes, I've got very attached to players who come into the team and perform for me and just keep coming back to help us out. Watching a 15 year old develop from a youth player to a squad player to a first team starter to captain and international superstar is very rewarding.
