@@silentspirit8923 Wasn't Leon also banned under the same reasoning? I seem to recall something of the sort, since he was topping a lot of character popularity polls too
Judith is the "i don't mind if you admire my body" type. Normally , you have the Shy protagonist or the "the mission Comes first" stoic type of hero to react to this. But here, Yuri is " i don't mind if i admire your body"
Me at the start: “why is he like what? That’s normal Yuri” Me by the end: “How can an MC, nay a man, have this much charisma? No wonder I had a crush on him 10 years ago”
I only know vesperia, abyss, berseria, xillia and symphonia, but it was so funny when i learned that yuri and Leon got banned from popularity pole cause of always stealing the spotlight
Apparently he was available. He's said in the past Yuri was his favorite role he's ever played and he was shocked that he wasn't approached to do the Definitive Edition.
@@kenja0685 I think the Voice Director probably didn't realize Troy Baker had come back doing Anime and Game Voice Overs again since Troy Baker had been busy working in non-Anime and non-Japanese video games since 2012 that he got some his roles replaced back then and he did let Matthew Mercer voice some of his roles such as Kanji from Persona 4, Oliver from Trials of Steel series, Yamato and Pain from Naruto Shippuden, etc. for example.
Matthew Kelly true, but they should have at least contacted him about if he would like to have done the new voice lines. All the other cast were contacted about the new voice lines.
@@DigiPen92 more likely it was the fact he was part of the voice actors union and after the pay strike and other nonsense, Namco just decided to not get involved with union VAs.
I wish i could forget about this game and play it again. Some memories i have from 2009 and my 360. I still have the game, it's the only one i kept from X360.
Tales Series has some great protagonists. Luke from Abyss and Senel from Legendia go through massive amounts of character development. Yuri is definitely the funniest one though lol.
@@alexsung3117 Jesus. Well there's that idiot Surge. Or was his name Serge? I don't know. Fuck that punchy white haired emo who nearly brought about the end of the world. Nier's inconsistent characterization is baffling. You either care about everyone or you don't. You can't be both. Drakenguard..... don't play those games. Save your money.
The banter between Judith and Yuri is so fking wholesome yet spicey and I'm so here for it! They are just a vibe! I love how the games doesn't need to confirm relationships either cause that's not the most important thing to the story. So you're free to come up with your conclusions and nobody stresses so much. He reminds me of me and my friends, we vibe and talk like that too and its fucking hysterical.
Ah Patty, the girl that caused the Kotaku comments section to explode. There was this one screenshot of Patty doing a flying headbutt in battle and the comments section exploded with accusations of CP and Pedophilia. By the time the PS3 version actually came out everybody already knew that part of Patty's ensemble is a pair of shorts, but Kotaku loyalists were so quick to jump to anti-Japanese racism anyways.
😂😂😂😂 who made this? And who titled it? Yuri is just a guy with a a dark sense of humor and unadulterated sarcasm❤ he’s also used to just letting things slide, like how he doesn’t correct his friends sometimes or people he’s just met, it’s called sensitivity
@@zenossaki Same. I just don't get why so many people like her. Just because she is a girl? I don't know...she is just too egoistic for me. Sure, in the begging I felt sorry for her because she is lost her brother, but after half plying the game... I just don't know. And yeah Yuri is defenatly much better character than her. Well this is just my opinion after all
@@anemokinesis main reason I like velvet is because because she was technically the antagonist and despite her being egotistic you do sympathize for in the later half of the game though she does makes some really bad descions
@@zenossaki I think while Velvet was okay and she did smile once in a while, the antagonistic and edge part of her were kinda overwhelming at a time. Yes, sometime the skits made her likable but other time, not so much with her decision and the dialogue of her vs. the bosses were too dramatic or cringe at a time. Yuri, on the other hand, was that interesting secret type of guy JRPG but never a protagonist type of guy. Funny enough, Yuri is like a combination of Jade, Zack and sometime Batman in one blender. What made Yuri so great as the protagonist was that the guy basically a mentor to the majority of the cast minus Raven, Judith and Flynn. He is also the guy who know shit 10 miles ahead of your current party thanks to his sneaky way at night. Not to mention his one liners are still hilarious. The guy did a lot of dirty works in front of and behind the scenes and prepare to face consequences. Surprisingly enough, I love how Yuri is the most improvised character that reflect both in his writing and gameplay since by raw power, he was not a chosen one or a powerful being by blood or from a noble family. He's just an adaptive fighter and get shit done.
Hey if we fight about character, I vote for Jade. I think in all Tales series he is the most interesting character and Yuri is close after him. But I might be bs though cause I still have 3 tales series in waiting to play. But really, it's hard to choose favorite among all these character. All of them is wonderful.
If your Tales Protagonist has to be banned from the popularity polls, you know they're good. **points to Yuri**
Wait what? He get banned? All I know is that he barely showed up in top 3 anymore...
@@kiwicrackers4194 After he won the popularity polls so many times, they decided to put Yuri in the hall of fame for tales characters or something.
@@silentspirit8923 GOD that made me laughed way harder than I should. Thanks for the information!
@@silentspirit8923 Wasn't Leon also banned under the same reasoning? I seem to recall something of the sort, since he was topping a lot of character popularity polls too
@@Eltrotraw I dont know about that....only person I know about is Yuri.
DAMN THE WAY HE JUST CASUALLY DROPPED PATTY THOUGH LMAO
Lol yeah! If someone ever asks to describe Yuri, just show them that clip. It tells you all you need to know about him.
Patty:nice catch!
Me:GO LOSE WEIGHT
Patty:wha-
Me:*throw patty to the ocean*
i believe originally patty was trying to either flirt or overly flatter yuri in some manner which is why he just drops her
@@holyblade12 Personally, I like this version better. XD
Judith is the "i don't mind if you admire my body" type. Normally , you have the Shy protagonist or the "the mission Comes first" stoic type of hero to react to this.
But here, Yuri is " i don't mind if i admire your body"
Eye candy is nice
Me at the start: “why is he like what? That’s normal Yuri”
Me by the end: “How can an MC, nay a man, have this much charisma? No wonder I had a crush on him 10 years ago”
Felt. Hell, me at the start: "I'm gonna like you a lot, aren't I?"
Me at the end: "Best boy, I don't make the rules."
His Mystic Artes isn’t call Savage wolf for nothing
Yuri is the biggest chad of all jrpg protagonists.
And voiced by a chad.
Yuri is without a doubt the most unique and bizarre hero of tales games(at least the ones I've played)
I only know vesperia, abyss, berseria, xillia and symphonia, but it was so funny when i learned that yuri and Leon got banned from popularity pole cause of always stealing the spotlight
1:48 still my favourite instance of Yuri not giving a shit
0:48
aw, you missed the best line from Yuri: "Thanks, Flynn..."
dude yuri is the best LMAO the way he just casually drops patty
I feel I should get Tales of Vesperia
If you don't mind very lengthy RPGs than this should be enjoyable for you
Get it
Stelledair Update: I got Tales of Vesperia on June 5. I’m still playing and I’m in love with the game!
My first Play through took about 50 hours
The Roblox Bros I beat the game in February, Symphonia in April, and Abyss on May 2.
It's unfortunate they didn't get the old voice back for Yuri's new lines, but I think the new one does his best.

I still have the game, it's the only one i kept from X360.
MAN gotta LOVE that Judith Smack 🤣🤣🤣
i havent played many Tales games but Yuri defo best MC
Play them all!
A Non-SquEnix protagonist who is neither Mute nor an idiot. Nor one-note. Amazing.
He was so badass they straight up reused his Mystic art for the nobody final boss of Berseria.
Tales Series has some great protagonists. Luke from Abyss and Senel from Legendia go through massive amounts of character development. Yuri is definitely the funniest one though lol.
Yuri: a non-Square RPG protagonist that I dont want to kill.
Just curious, can you name a few non-square protagonists that may or may not boil your blood?
@@alexsung3117 Jesus. Well there's that idiot Surge. Or was his name Serge? I don't know. Fuck that punchy white haired emo who nearly brought about the end of the world.

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO
I FINISHED THE GAME FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY, AND I ALREADY MISS THESE CHARACTERS SO MUCH ;O;
All protags are good, just in different ways.
Even- *swallows my pride while scrunching my brow* -Luke.
I mean Luke does improve considerably after something sinks in Tales of The Abyss
Luke might be annoying at first, but he genuinely has some of the greatest character development in video game history.
Troy bakers best role
Yuri, my beloved!
Don’t you remember he’s got a very good poker face
I just finish the game and it was amazing 😄
Best Tales of protagonist ever hahaha

A very humoristic manner to end.🤣🤣🤣
Yuri Lowell is the best.
My 2nd Favorite Protagonist of Tales.
My 1st is Velvet.
Lol i seriously love Yuri! He has almost everything to be considered the best protagonist of all Tales Of sagas.♥️😁
Yuri is tied with Sorey with being my favorite Tales protagonist.
Estelle be like at 0:04
This is too rich😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 who made this? And who titled it? Yuri is just a guy with a a dark sense of humor and unadulterated sarcasm❤ he’s also used to just letting things slide, like how he doesn’t correct his friends sometimes or people he’s just met, it’s called sensitivity
3:23 all I'll say.
Mf punched a lady then got folded seconds after-
we love yuri 🥰🥰
2nd best Tales protag, next to Velvet.
Nah

oh
We love a bisexual vigilante
God forbid a man have friends
Sorey is better protag
Wat are u on you crazed zesty fan boy can't believe someone would ever say sorry is better 🤣🤣
Oof, Sorey? Yikes
I mean no offense, but uh...
Sorey is one of my favorite tales protagonist, But Yuri is the BEST one. No fucking, shit.
@Serina This. I like Sorey, I feel he’s kinda underrated but, Yuri is just the goat. He’s my favourite on par with Velvet.

This looks terrible ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
