Guess the VG Character

Go To

This is a thread on guessing video game characters.

  • They can come from any video game.
  • If a media source is played in one round, it is allowed to be played in the next round.
The current descriptor must post a recap of the progress for every new page, and edit that post accordingly with the progress in the page.
  • A player may declare a stump after 24 hours has passed from the last question and its answer. If this happens, the current descriptor reveals their character and posts their image, and the next round goes to the stumped player.
  • If a question needs to be replaced because it has already been answered, please do not erase the question. Just add the new question below it. In fact, the act of completely erasing a question is frowned upon.
  • If you're adding a clue, please keep it related on video games, as detailed below.
  • Recaps must be posted on every page in a timely manner.
  • The info in those recaps must not be ignored. This rule and the one above it are added to prevent confusion.
  • If there is no new round within 48 hours, anyone except the previous host may start a new round.
  • What counts as playable characters?:

If there's any questions or further suggestions, let me know!

I had a hunch you were here, Clocktower Kid.

Round 577: Attilio Caccini (Balan Wonderworld)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bw_art_3d_attilio.webp

fun fact: i like to use more unique official art that isn't fanart generally because i don't just want to reuse whatever's already on the Characters page (if there is one), and i prefer to use official art over fanart just because TVTropes instincts, but in Balan Wonderworld's case, there isn't more unique art outside of the 3d variants of the 2d art already present on Characters.Balan Wonderworld, so whatever

so! firstly, if you ever played the game, no you didn't! this game only sold... i don't even know! this game barely sold! Squeenix didn't mention it in their fiscal report for the year, Japanese physical copies were reportedly around 2,100, and it didn't break into any charts! of course you didn't play the game, you probably never bought it!

and if you have actually played the game, or if you've heard of the game, which, okay, you probably have, but i doubt you watched past Chapters 1-3! you probably saw the first three chapters, went "okay, this is all the same shit, i'll stop wasting my time and move on to other things", but Attilio is literally Chapter 9! and even worse, his chapter is barely talked about anyways! most of the attention is on Chapter 1, "The Man Who Rages Against the Storm", focusing on Jose Gallard, and Chapter 7, "The Former Champion Who's Stuck in the Past" (or "The Former Champion Obsessed with Past Glory" in the book), focusing on Cal Suresh, which are not only infinitely funnier, as the first chapter is everyone's introduction to the game, and the seventh is just full of Wangst if you've never consumed the book, but god, not even Alpharad, who played all of Balan Wonderworld so that you don't have to, talked about Chapter 9 at all!

which, speaking of the book!

even if you watched a full playthrough of this game (*cough cough* I played Balan Wonderworld so that you don't have to *cough cough*), or even if you somehow sat down and sank in all the time to play this game in full, you still need to shell out an additional 10 dollars at the least to learn these guys' names! and NOBODY read that unless you were really into this game, which... why would you be?!

...it's me, i'm really into this game.

...it sucks! it... sucks how no one talks about this game other than "it's really bad", because, honestly, the book is... genuinely some amazing fiction. it's written so well, and dives into the hearbtreak and grief all the characters are suffering, and... and i wish it was more popular.

here's an excerpt of the book, with Attilio talking to Leo (the main male protagonist) about why he's in Wonderworld.

go ahead, ~animuacid .

I remember. Who I was, the life I led... I worked at a theme park as a clown, making people laugh. They had a parade there, and she was the star. The princess. Her hair was silver, her song was sweet. The guests loved her, and so did the rest of the staff. She was always so kind to us, always so supportive. I fell in love. But she was the star, and I was just a common clown. Sometimes her eyes would turn my way, but my face was always hidden behind the clown mask. And the only glimpses I got of her were through those tiny eyeholes. Still, I dreamed often of telling her how I felt. I never did. I started to hate myself for being such a coward. Then one day, after changing into my clown costume and heading into the park, I was astonished to discover a theatre in the middle of the central square. None of the other employees seemed to even notice it. They just walked right on by. The doors opened, and I felt this strange... pull. Like something was drawing me inside. One moment, I was in the park. The next, I was in Wonderworld. Now I understand why my stage is an amusement park, and what is missing from it. The march still plays, but the princess's parade... they aren't there. But maybe it's better this way. She'll never feel the same way about me. At least here, I won't have my heart shredded to confetti every time I see her...
