Lame Tokio
Is Tokio lame or not. please leave a reason to why you chose yes or no
Re: Lame Tokio
He's not lame, just look at my signature!!! When he gets Xth form he's painfully aware that his horn looks dumb, but nonetheless he becomes an electromagnetic gear-wielding badass, which is probably the only redeeming feature of the actual combat system. Starting with the very first episode of .hack//SIGN, every major protagonist in .hack history has said, "I am here." Tokio takes destiny into his own hands and says, "I want to be here."

Re: Lame Tokio
Very well. I concede Kuukai however he is the strangest hero we have seen in .hack yet (aside from Tsukasa who turned out to be an e-tranny)

Re: Lame Tokio
He's alright; although the design is painful after the game I can appreciate him more then normal. His battles with Orgel and Flugel showed how willing he was able to act. Even though he knew everyone was data Tokio still was able to defend something most heroes hadn’t.

Re: Lame Tokio
I believe he acts very much like most people would if they had heard legends of old characters and then you are physically thrust into the world itself. Starstruck but then realizes his mission and fights for his friends. I am very confident in Kuukai's translation skills and what he has had to say about the game. So what if he isn't that serious in the beginning? Do you really think a 14 year old who was just thrown into a video game would stay all serious? If it were me I would have acted about the same. When it was first announced I was really mad at the judgement this game got from people because frankly I thought tokios character design was cool. I like his overly long goggle ties and tape cheeks (not the tape as much), and I really love his Xth form the only thing that looks wierd is the horn but its not bad. Most of the negativity came from the manga but if it weren't for the panny shots it was pretty good character and plot wise, it was just different.

Re: Lame Tokio
I won't say he is lame, but he isn't epic like the other heroes.

Re: Lame Tokio
Tokio at first, was incredibly hard to like at first. He just didn't seem like he was...well, .hack material. The fact that CC2 lacked in originality points with his character spawned a "OMG TAI!!!" resemblence reaction, but as I played through the game, I started to like him a bit more. He actually matured a bit, and started acting like a .hack protagonist.
Re: Lame Tokio
I officially endorse Tokio.
And I hated him when I first saw him.

Re: Lame Tokio
I chose no. Sure, he's not some epic hero of legend, but he acts accordingly given the situation he was suddenly thrust into. I think he acts cute more than "annoying" or "lame."
Re: Lame Tokio
I hated him when I first saw him and I still hate him and unless you want an essay on why (and I actually have motivation on it covering things before Link PSP and after) I won't go further on this. :T

Re: Lame Tokio
I'm still weighing my judgments, but he's yet to prove himself to me, and his character design is still tremendously stupid.

Re: Lame Tokio
Tokio is lame because he stepped in crap from the cloud with the silver lining.
Re: Lame Tokio
Tokio pissed me off merely because he wore goggles, as if he were some sort of Digimon protagonist.
Seriously what is that.
I read the manga, though, and came to the conclusion that Tokio is more funny and goofy than he is "stupid" or "lame". I guess I have to read more or actually play the game to give a firm opinion on him, though.

Re: Lame Tokio
I'm so sick of the digimon thing. It's a pretty weak resemblance considering Tokio is literally Ed from Cowboy Bebop with a nose...
Re: Lame Tokio
Bandai's involvement + young, goggle-wearing protagonist + being sucked into a digital world to save it = enough to remind me of Digimon, lolKuukai wrote:I'm so sick of the digimon thing. It's a pretty weak resemblance considering Tokio is literally Ed from Cowboy Bebop with a nose...
Although, the Ed comparison is a lot closer in terms of looks.

Re: Lame Tokio
I'm with Kuukai on this one. He's totally a genderswap of Ed.
Re: Lame Tokio
I can't deny that he and Ed are almost the same person, but it's not a baseless accusation when I say that Tokio can fit perfectly as a Digimon protagonist.GyppyGirl2021 wrote: I'm with Kuukai on this one. He's totally a genderswap of Ed.
Besides, it's no big D.
Comparing something to Digimon is, for me, a compliment. I love Digimon <3<3

To be entirely fair, Ed was never sucked into a virtual universe and told he was a chosen hero.Kuukai wrote:I'm so sick of the digimon thing. It's a pretty weak resemblance considering Tokio is literally Ed from Cowboy Bebop with a nose...
