Yuri because he's such an interesting and well developed character, I'm having a field time shfting through his psyche every single time I play Shadow Hearts and it's sequel.

Roger Bacon... who doesn't love the old goofball? Seriously he cracks me up, he really does. And his clothes *breaks down laughing* to bad they changed his clothing in Covenant and FtNW.

Albert Simon, he's without a doubt one of the best villians I've ever seen, I don't really know why but that's how he comes across for me. Maybe it's the whole polite old gentleman thing he's got going... or it might be the hat, yup, the hat is important for him I'm sure of that.

Favourite boss is definetely ALbert Simon, he can be quite hard if you fail to prepare properly.

Speaking of wich, have you ever noticed anything... special about the casting sequence of Alice's ultimate attack?

As for the thing you should look for in that animation... if you take a closer look at Alice herself during it you'll notice that we get a free peek up her skirt. It's not all that important really, I just found it funny when I first saw it.

Philoworm, I think that this game is one of the best. I know that you get to see new games all the time. Then, you are so carried away with the new game, and forget about the old one's altogether. Until you replay the old game and you are reminded of all the things you missed about the old game. Anyway, if you are saying it keeps a dear place in your heart, that means it has to be special.

Anyway, when I think of which characters I like the best, I say all of them. Which is odd enough, seeing as how usually there is at least some annoying character.

I mean Yuri, is the best being rude, and not to mention somehow a saucy, though not arrogant or conceited. Some people say he is like Dante from devil may cry and some say Dante is cooler, but there is something different about Yuri. Not just grabbing at women and hauling a huge sword. Anyone can make a game about that. Yuri is a very deep character that suffered all his life, and is not afraid to show it. He's in a league of his own. He'd be cool even if he didn't have fusion powers.

Next is Zhuzhen, the adept, this guy is cute at times, but never fails to tell Yuri off. Like when he finds Yuri again in the tower again after the demon's invocation gate. He says, I've spent all this time looking for you, you ungrateful son of a **. (Excuse my language). I never talk like that, but the fact that he told Yuri off like that was funny.

Next is Alice, when I played the game, I never expected a girl to be fighting with a bible. Swords, guns, anything but a bible. Though, she does and it seems to work for her. She is so cute and adorable in that way. Contrary to popular belief, she is not a sacrificial lamb. She has a strong mind of her own and is not someone to swayed from their beliefs. She is the perfect character in my eyes, on par with Yuri anyway.

Margarete, is something of an enigma, you have to love her. She is stylish and flashy, and yet never manages to be haughty or conceited about it. It suprised me when I found out that there is a real person named Margarete Gertrude Zelle out there. It threw me for a loop. It is just like Margarete in the game. From the description of the real Margarete in reality, it made me want to meet her, because I thought she would be an awe-inspiring woman.

Halley, is cool and doesn't seem to be annoying to me. Even though, he is young, he is so much more mature than kids his age.

Keith, being a vampire is enough, I really don't get a strong opinion of him. He is there, and charming, the perfect gentleman.

And last but not least, we have Koudelka. Before I even played the first game, I thought she was cool. It was only after playing Shadow Hearts that someone told me of the first game Koudelka. In it, she has a cool personality. You will just have to play it to understand. Even though, she is more mature in Shadow Hearts, she just seems all the more cooler.

Oh, and Albert Simon, is great, the perfect villian. He is a gentleman even when fighting it seems, bowing in a show of respect before trying to kill you and your party.

I never played a game so unique compared to the traditional games that I played. Koudelka, Yuri, Alice, Zhuzhen, Keith, Margarete, and Halley, Koudelka's son. So of course I think it is one of the best games ever made.

Anyway, sorry for the long post. I wanted to write a summary of the character, but it took me awhile.

A good post can never be to long a post.

Honestly I am quite glad to have such a long and thought out review of the characters on this forum. To be honest I thought it dead a long time ago ^_\\\

Keep the posts coming. Shadow Hearts is to good a game to not be talked about.
