In the game, the main protagonist portrays two clashing personalities. Emil Castagnier, himself, and the power given to him, the lord of all demons, Ratatosk.

Personally I really enjoy both characters--Johnny Yong Bosch managed to portray them very well (I've been nitpicky because Johnny had ruined a once favorite character in an English dub).

Spoiler:
I can't get over how he was like DIE, DIE, DIE! Nearing the end of the game as Emil tried to act as Ratatosk to force his companions to slaughter him. It's etched into my memory.

But uh, I love both of them. Both their characters. I wouldn't be able to choose. xD What about you?

I...don't really like Emil. D8 He's so wimpy.
But I'd have to say wimpy Emil is better than the other one. The other one REALLY grated against me.

Oh god, Emil in the beginning made me want to shoot myself. He gets better, though. ToS2 is more realistic about your typical village boy becoming a hero. We can't all be Crono.

As for which one I like better... I can't say. They're two halves of a whole, IMO.

@Kratos - ]: I guess I just don't like his attitude. Tough guy is fun and all, but it's just SO much more annoying than whiny-boy. I likes me wimps.

@Emil:
LOL~.

@Anonym:
Awwhh. Emil is precious, I agree. xD And the toughboy attitude does wear out though Ratatosk is just awesome for some reason. I saw a real change in him by the end of the game. I got the true ending, though. So.

Ratatosk. Ratatosk is one of the few parts of that game I actually like, because he's so volatile. xD It's not that he's a tough-guy - he's not even really that. He's just psychotic. A maniac. And that amuses me to no end. <3 Wimpy, Lloyd-hating Emil can go suck it, though. Emil's more tolerable once he mans up, but I still like Ratatosk A LOT more.

Ratatosk, Tenebrae, and Alice were the only saving graces for that game, for me. Hands down. Decus is all right, but his "ladies love me!" attitude made me want to say, "You're not Zelos, shut up" and smack him. He's funny sometimes, though. <3

Tenebrae is THE winning character. I freaking love him. He needs to be huggled and squished and made uncomfortable as much as possible.

...and the voice changes made me sad. ]:

I would have to agree with that, I found the fact that he lacked balls in the beginning of the game somewhat annoying. >_>

I seriously think Emil apologizes more in the beginning of the game than Colette did during the entire first game, no joke. Seriously, people thought it was bad when Colette apologized for apologizing; at least she didn't apologize for BREATHING (that I can remember).

She also didn't have flashbacks every two seconds to the SAME DAMN THING. Seriously, that annoyed the HELL out of me and I was SO GLAD when the flashbacks stopped. Whoever thought that was a good idea (my bets are on Bandai >< ) needs to be smacked. Hard.

But yes, yes, Tenebrae is WIN. Ahaha, was I the only one that noticed that his ideal woman turned out to be Celsius? (You know, when he disguised himself as an attractive woman?) That amused me to no end. Also, I loved the entire bit with the light-frog. <3 Oh, Tenebie.

YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULD REALLY STAND UP FOR YOURSELF.
God I hate those flashbacks too, especially when you can't skip, or it has like.. a five second freaking pause. I'm like HURRY I'VE ALREADY SEEN THIS GO GO GO.

Tenebrae is win. I've actually made a mask to look like him. He's so sarcastic and lovely. <3
Only the darkness knows~.
Do I really seem like an old man? ;A;

<spoiler>
AND IT WAS AWESOME WHEN KRATOS KNEW WHO THE FREEK TENEBRAE WAS. "Ah, a Centurion. It's been a while."
(From the second time you go to the Tower Of Salvation).

I thought that remix of Kratos' theme was awesome. 'Cause you know, the first playthrough, you don't get it. Kratos doesn't even say his name. BUT THEN I SAW A SECOND PLAYTHROUGH SCENE OF IT ON YOUTUBE ('cause like hell that game is worth a second playthrough, though I MIGHT start playing my second playthrough again only because I have my Proto-Puppy (my Orion, it's what I call him <3 ) and he is awesome), AND WHEN HE'S ALL, "I am Kratos Aurion" AND HIS THEME MUSIC STARTS, I'M LIKE, YES YES YES YES, YOU TELL HIM, YOU TELL HIM HARDCORE."

And also, Kratos should come back and BITCHSLAP RICHTER ABEND for trying to be Kratos. Because Richter seriously acted like Kratos HARDCORE. But he's not as cool as Kratos so it's kind of a fail.

Lloyd acted like Kratos, too. Especially in the Seal of Fire, when - without even turning - he just whipped out a sword, deflected Emil's/Ratatosk's attack, and then just said, "You have much to learn." Or something like that. I was like, "AWW, SOMEONE IS TRYING TO BE LIKE HIS DAD-DAY." :3

I SAID THE SAME THING. I started to squirm around and I'm like YEAH HE'S KRATOS FUCKING AURION.

No, he should slap Lloyd for trying to act like his dah-day. ;_; 'Cause like. I miss my happy, dorky Lloyd. Not this crappily VA'd, Kratos mocked Lloyd. YER NOT KRATOS STOP TRYING.

I KNOW I SAID THE SAAAAME THING.
Jesus you're like my twin. xD
