When it comes to certain game titles, the main characters often overshadow supporting characters.
In fact, it’s quite common to say that supporting characters play a crucial role in creating the depth of the storyline, and sometimes they can even be the most outstanding characters that a game has to offer.
In 2024, the gaming world has witnessed the emergence of numerous high-quality supporting characters.
Nie Lang Than
Nie Lang Than, affectionately known by fans of Black Myth: Wukong as “Brother Liem,” is considered the best supporting character of the year. Right from the start, players will encounter Nie Lang Than in the role of Sun Wukong.
Only after completing the series of missions involving Nie Lang, do we get to re-experience this character through the perspective of Tian Meng Zheng. The epic confrontation with the Great Heavenly Emperor is still regarded as one of the most grand battles in Black Myth: Wukong. After all, it turns out that Duong Tien is not as simple as we might think.
Louis Guiabern
Louis Guiabern in Metaphor: ReFantazio encompasses all the distinctive traits of an ideal supporting character. This character is deeply attractive as they strive to gain the support of the larger Eurechonia community, managing to survive amidst the deadly assassination plots while starting a group of multiple players, and secretly deciding to hide their true intentions while gaining public support.
Moreover, after uncovering the origin of the story and the secrets behind Louis, this character still captivates players when aiming to be the main character.
Sephiroth
This name is not too far-fetched for anyone. With a new storyline in Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth, Sephiroth shines once again with a brilliant glow. Square Enix has successfully portrayed this character’s essence as both formidable and deeply tragic.
From the moment players embark on their journey to explore the depths of Nibelheim, to the emotional confrontation with Sephiroth Reborn after the character’s death of Aerith, every moment intricately reshapes the image of Sephiroth into a hauntingly brilliant figure.
