Day 6 - Most annoying character.
I had a lot of trouble with this one, not sure why, but in the end the choice was pretty clear.
Yeah, you. I'm taking to you.
The Camera
(cameos in various poorly designed games since 1996)
Look, I get it. You've designed this sprawling, intricate maze of a setpiece for your 3D game. But c'mon, man, foreground object transparency's been around since Shodown!
I think we can all agree that-
Wait.
Most annoying character? Bah.
Fine. I'll go with the old standby.
Iris Chateaubriand
(Sakura Wars)
You know what? You're not getting a picture. I'm not googling her.
She's the little girl with the teddy bear. Iris is the requisite little girl for the first two Sakura Wars games. The first time she joins your squad, she throws a tantrum and runs away, so that you can go back and save her and the two of you can rejoin the party in time to turn the tide of battle.
Or so I hear. Every time I do that fight half my squad just clears that map and deals with the fact that the party healer and my main character are out of the fight, because I refuse to save her.
For Iris, I abandon my SRPG mantra of "Reset if anyone dies". In fact, she's the reason I revised it to "Nobody dies unless they deserve it". (Sorry, Cezary!)
