Specifically, given that Torque is part of the Coalition of Planets and was shown to have lost his crew to Brevon, who is made clear to be the main antagonist of ‘Freedom Planet’, playing the game through Torque’s eyes would have been significantly more interesting than playing through Lilac, Carol, or Milla’s perspectives. Up first on the list is the rather predictable choice of Chaser Commander Torque, whom while prominent in the events of ‘Freedom Planet’, did not quite get as much attention as he could have. However, out of the multitude of interesting side characters, the following five stand out the most as potential protagonists and should very much have carried the lead role instead. Given the lack of side characters in ‘Freedom Planet’, however, choosing which specific ones work best was hard to think of as they all prove to be great potential heroes in their own ways. Milla, whom is adored solely for being lovable, only has her lovability to fall back on with an unclear background and random placement in the game’s story.įortunately, however, the game makes up for the lack of unique Main Characters with a few surprisingly relatable and/or intriguing side characters, each of which having their own traits that would make them a great protagonist if they were given the spotlight instead. Lilac, while proving to be a strong and likable female lead, is simply that, relying solely on implied backstory, positive demeanor, and other traits seen in similar protagonists such as Shantae, Sonic the Hedgehog, and more that prevent her from standing out as anything too special.Ĭarol, despite being quite likable for her snarky personality and tomboyish nature, can be dismissed as a stereotypical tough girl character as tomboys aren’t uncommon in stories or games. While it is true that ‘Freedom Planet’’s actual three protagonists, Sash Lilac, Carol Tea, and Milla Basset, have proven popular among fans of the game for varied reasons, in the context of the game and compared to the less popular characters, there are a number of ways they come up short. Greetings, Freedom Planet Amino, and welcome to another post that critiques the story of ‘Freedom Planet’ by pointing out other characters who could easily have fit the role of the leading character.
