I mean is this of lost of most iconic characters, iconic isn't best. Solid snake in no world is better than big boss, unless the journalist confuses them like a lot of people do. I would also argue cloud from final fantasy 7 is better than all these characters, maybe we can also have Vergil as well. I think the top 10 and out of place would be,

Vergil, devil may cry

Cloud, final fantasy 7

Big boss, metal gear solid

Delita, final fantasy tactics

Tali, mass effect

Velvet, tales of berseria

9-S nier automata

Walker, spec ops, the line

Jin, xenoblade chronicles 2

N, Xenoblade chronicles 3

Now these I think are gamings top 10 characters.

Honestly none of these fights were hard aside from volo, the hardest Pokemon battle for me ever was for some weird reason, the fighting girl rematch in brilliant diamond or the mustard fight from sword and shield. Still easier than most RPGs.

For me, lost odyssey combat was just so bad I could only play half the game, the ring system has some potential if it weren't for the fact that the games has 2 warriors And Mages. Since magic doesn't use rings, you almost never see rings. The animations were way to slow and long and the game was just to easy. I really liked the story I saw, but the combat was so bad I literally quit it. Keep in mind I love turn based combat, I have played so many turn based games and so lost odyssey loosing me is even more impressive.

I personally found mass effect 3 so much better than 2. Look, I played mass effect 1,2, and 3 many times and I've always looked forward for 3 the most. 3 has by far the best combat and mass effect 3 is the game is the best campaign. So many big events the franchise build up had satisfying conclusion in mass effect 3.
