Rant: Silent Protagonists
Breath of Fire is a bit of a cult hit RPG series in the US, as far as the extent that I know. Some may not know it, but if they do, they usually appreciate one of the games from the series in some form or another.
One complaint I hear from my friends is that the protagonist, Ryu, in III and IV does not actually speak at any point. This, in itself, may not be that odd because there are quite a few games wherein we play in the first or third perspective, and the character we are in control of never utters a word, even in today’s ever-growing world of voice-scripted games.
