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.
- 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?:
- Any video game or app. If they’re from adaptations that aren’t video games or apps, we don’t count them. This goes for Ash Ketchum and Christopher Thorndyke as they weren’t in their respective original bases. Canon foreigners that appear in video games count. Canon immigrants also count as long as their debut is a video game. For example, The Prawn from SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom counts because he debuted in that said game even if appearing in "Captain Pipsqueak".
If there's any questions or further suggestions, let me know!

Nice explanation of him and the game!
I can't comprehend why it was unpopular...
Round 578:
- Initial clue: God, I wish I were that coin.
- Not about a coin that was sat on.
About the character:
- Female
- Seen with coins, but doesn't flip them.
- The coins sometimes go to her Victoria's Secret Compartment.
About the work:
- Not a Visual Novel.
- Asian, but not Japanese.
- Action Game, but not Hack and Slash.

Are the coins placed in Victoria's Secret Compartment?
Orcus on His Throne will always be my pet peeve.

Round 577: Attilio Caccini (Balan Wonderworld)
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 whateverso! 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 .
