History BigGood / VideoGames

* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' [[BigGood/{{Disney}} has several examples in the Disney sub-page.]]

* ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'' has the role split between Satele Shan, Grand Master of the Jedi order, and Janarus, Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic. The latter ends up [[spoiler:either retiring in shame or killed/frozen in carbonite by the Bounty Hunter]] and is replaced by Supreme Chancellor Saresh, who is more of a GeneralRipper.

* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' [[BigGood/FinalFantasy has a series staple here]].

{{Big Good}}s in VideoGames. Main and/or supporting heroes will become the major forces of good at some point of the plot/story, so '''beware of spoilers ahead.'''

* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' [[BigGood/FinalFantasy has its own sub-page here]].

* [[WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}} Yen Sid]], as of the later ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' games. [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Leon/Squall]] leads most of the supporting cast, but Yen Sid is the guy ''King Mickey'' goes to for advice. He [[spoiler:co-ordinates the effort to rescue those suffering and prepares for Xehanort's reincarnation]].
** [[TheGoodKing King Mickey]] himself filled in this role for the [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI first]] [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories three]] [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII games]] since he was the one who organized and led the heroes and their allies against the threats towards the worlds and they're inhabitants.

{{Big Good}}s in VideoGames. There are certain minor/supporting heroes that will become the major forces of good at some point of the plot/story, so '''beware of spoilers ahead.'''

* [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/{{Kirby}} King Dedede]]]] in ''The Subspace Emissary'' mode on ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl''. His actions were all to ensure some brawlers would survive when [[spoiler:[[BigBad Tabuu]] turns them all into trophies]], [[GoodAllAlong not to be a]] {{Jerkass}}.

* ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' shows a very [[WalkingSpoiler spoilerific]] example the series has to offer: ''Xrd -SIGN-'' reveals that [[spoiler:Asuka R. Kreutz, aka That Man, has been orchestrating the efforts to stop the KillAllHumans plan of the real GreaterScopeVillain of the series, and imprisoned and experimented on Justice in an attempt to save her from said villain's brainwashing]].

* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' [[BigGood/FinalFantasy has the sub-page here]].

* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
** Aerith from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' arguably becomes the Planet itself after her death by maintaining her individuality within the Lifestream and becoming able to command and move it, and then ''absolutely'' becomes this in ''Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren''.
** Yuna from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'', which is just as well, since she is the MessianicArchetype. Though most of Spira would say that the Maesters of Yevon are this trope. [[spoiler:They are [[PathOfInspiration very wrong]].]]
** The various leaders of the three home nations in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI'', as well as the Archduke of Jeuno. [[spoiler: He actually pulls double duty, as all the problems with the Shadow Lord in the present are because of him and his brother]].
** Gran Kiltias Anastasis from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'', though after [[spoiler:Judge Bergan has a bit of fun]], the onus falls on Larsa. Larsa is wildly subverted in that in his current state, he has absolutely no power, isn't the leader of LaResistance, and is a proponent of the Empire. However, there is consensus between more or less everyone that it isn't Vayne, Venat, or Doctor Cid, but Larsa that needs to be on the throne, and that only then will peace return to Ivalice.
** Cosmos from ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy''. Chaos summons villains, she summons heroes, and neither of them gets personally involved in the fighting unless they have no other choice.
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV''
*** There is Hydaelyn, the Goddess Of Light, supporting the protagonists in their fight with the Ascians and their God Of Darkness, Zodiark. [[WellThisIsNotThatTrope She's not the Big Good]] but rather the GreaterScopeParagon, rarely appearing in the story at the present time because she's gravely weakened.
*** There is also the ancient and powerful father of dragonkind, Midgardsormr. He's also not the Big Good, because he chooses to [[OnlyMostlyDead stay dead most of the time]]. [[spoiler: He becomes the Big Good in a BadFuture, though, [[AllThereInThemanual where he decides to offer his knowledge and his protection to the remnants of Garlond Ironworks]]. They proved their worthiness by building the Crystal Tower into a [[TimeMachine time and space traveling machine]] to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong for an AlternateTimeline.]]
*** The actual BigGood is the [[PlayerCharacter Warrior Of Light]]. At the beginning of the story, they're a simple adventurer and by the end of ''A Realm Reborn'' they are TheHero. During [[ExpansionPack Heavensward and Stormblood]] however, they prove to be a very effective SupportingProtagonist / MagneticHero / HopeBringer and [[TookALevelInBadass they grow much, much stronger]]. By the end of Stormblood, they have the unconditional trust and support of serveral head of states, have attained a HundredPercentHeroismRating with the citizenry of several nations and are now either the WorldsBestWarrior, TheArchmage or [[MasterOfAll both]].
*** [[ExpansionPack Shadowbringers]] has the [[NiceGuy Crystal Exarch]], the master of the Crystal Tower in [[AlternateUniverse the First]]. [[spoiler: He is the person that got send across space and time with the above mentioned TimeMaschine to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong.]]

* Myrddin in ''VideoGame/Vampyr2018'' is a mysterious vampire entity that describes himself as the protector of Britain and has sired champions such as [[spoiler:Myth/KingArthur, [[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy William Marshall]] and [[TheHero Jonathan Reid]]]] to save the land from disasters and calamities. While [[BlueAndOrangeMorality detached from humanity and unconcerned with the consequences of his actions]], for better or for worse, his [[WellIntentionedExtremist goals are still benevolent]] since he wants to protect Britain from [[spoiler:[[BigBad the Morrigan's]] wrath]].

* ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'' gives us Aku Aku. He is the guardian of the Wumpa Islands as well as the father figure of Crash and his friends.

** Upon his debut in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'', [[OldMaster Gouken]] is the closest thing the series has to the Big Good, with being extremely wise, powerful, and benevolent, and he is actively aiming to snuff out evil.

* ''Franchise/StreetFighter''
** Upon his debut in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'', [[OldMaster Gouken]] has the closest thing the series has to the Big Good, with being extremely wise, powerful, and benevolent, and he is actively aiming to snuff out evil.

** Upon his debut in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'', Gouken has the closest thing the series has to one, with being extremely wise, powerful, and benevolent, and he is actively aiming to snuff out evil.

* [[{{Ojou}} Karin Kanzuki]] arguably takes this role in the ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'' story mode, being the driving logistical force behind most of the fighters getting together to combat [[BigBad Bison]].

* ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' shows us a [[WalkingSpoiler spoilerific]] example: ''Xrd -SIGN-'' reveals that [[spoiler:Asuka R. Kreutz, aka That Man, has been orchestrating the efforts to stop the KillAllHumans plan of the real GreaterScopeVillain of the series, and imprisoned and experimented on Justice in an attempt to save her from said villain's brainwashing]].

** In hindsight, Jun is this in the entire ''Tekken'' saga, starting from her debut. She is one of the few people with a pure heart and is the sole reason why her son hasn't fully succumbed to the Devil Gene as it is slowly corrupting him as every game passes. And even though he is too far gone to be saved, she still holds out hope for Kazuya and wants to stop both him and Jin from fighting one another.

** Upon his debut in ''[[VideoGame/Tekken6 Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion]]'', Lars Alexandersson qualifies for the position as the leader of the organization that seeks to save the world from the war between the Mishima Zaibatsu and G Corporation.
