I love the Knight archetype. Shining armor, swords, horses, honorable, noble, beautiful, chivalrous. It's all great.

Mine has to be Titania from Fire Emblem 9/10.

One of the best designed and most likable characters in any game I have seen. Level headed, no nonsense yet kind, extremely strong from the beginning and useful throughout, an axe user instead of a sword user, gold armor, flowing red hair that manages to look both majestic and modest... man. What a great character.

Dammit, how can I contribute when you nailed it in the first post?

Sigurd

Hero who rides off to save his friends. Fights against injustice. Loses his life in the end. God, what's with all the Fire Emblem posts from me today?

Finn

Finn starts out as a young knight who idolizes his King. After his King dies, he fights desperately to save the Prince and raise him like his own son. They go into exile running from place to place...

...Until the Prince was old enough to fight back and reclaim his homeland. Eventually Finn joins with Sigurd's son and liberates the entire continent.

 

[CantTrickMe]

So he's a lord, not a knight?

It's easy to ignore the first 5 words of the paragraph when you're so keen on being right isnt it.

 

[Dargor]

In case you're wondering, this badass here is Lavitz from Legend of Dragoon.

 

[Sheriff_Battlesnake]

Seeing as Frog was said, I propose Dark Knight Cecil.

 

[DustyVonEric]

Cecil from Final Fantasy IV was always a favorite of mine.

Frog is the best of the best.

You two win.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Seeing as Frog was said, I propose Dark Knight Cecil.

Imagining Cecil, looking like that, rolling into Mysidia and putting all that fear into those peaceful mages during the opening- good stuff. One of my 'never going to happen' dreams is getting yet another FFIV remake, but in the Amano (or even Nomura-doing-Amano) style. :}

 

[Alo81]

I have a serious love affair with the Elite Knight armor in Dark Souls.

What better knight to choose than the King of Knights?

So, I'm not really aware of Saber at all, but there was a dope Dark Souls armor texture set that I thought was awesome and is apparently Saber - you'll probably appreciate these screenshots as a result!

I love Nomura, though I hear the Nomura hate here all the time. I think he looks super rad and I'd love a remake in this style! Long live the KH armor designs.

 

[Look! The Pie!]

Haven't played FE9/10 yet but man, Titania looks awesome.

So happy to see so many mentions of Chris Lightfellow (Suikoden 3), but I have to give a shout-out to the other Knights of Zexen, too. (No idea why Cecile is in this picture but yeah, she can stay.)

I also love the Queen's Knights from Suikoden 5:

 

[Vicetrailia]

Ashram from Record of Lodoss War

 

[Stiler]

 

[Mentok]

Sunbros represent.

Yup.

 

[SteveTR]

I hope this counts.

On that note, Siegfried.

 

[akidnamededdy]

Shovel Knight duuuuuuuuhhhhh

 

[GustyGardens]

Charlotte from Samurai Shodown. She was my favorite video game character for a long time and the only reason I liked playing those games.

 

[Spinosaurus]

Have a soft spot for Meta Knight, Sir Daniel and Ghosts n Goblins' Arthur.

Cartoon knights, basically.

I'd probably pick him, though.

 

[InfiniteCombo]

No contest.

If it's a character that dresses like a "traditional" medieval knight, then Siegfried Schtauffen from the SoulCalibur series.

 

[Pandy]

Great example in the OP, so I'll go left field.

Moonstone, for the uninitiated. These knights have to deal with much more than most of the other characters in this thread.

 

[Beelzebufo]

It's easy to ignore the first 5 words of the paragraph when you're so keen on being right isnt it.

I think you ignored the most important one!

 

[desmax]

Some great choices here.

I'll post the Hundred Knight here

A cute little killing machine, what's not to like?

 

[Spiritwalker]

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

Shovel Knight. There can be no other.

 

[Space Medafighter X]

What better knight to choose than the King of Knights?

So glade to see this posted, my vote goes to Saber as well.

This is Saber from Fate/Stay Night.

 

[UnrealEck]

because ashbringer.

 

[mfaex]

All this Suikoden love, but someone's missing...

Georg Prime.

 

[lazygecko]

Sir Mazoga in Oblivion

From http://www.starwars.com/databank/darth-vader

"Once a heroic Jedi Knight, Darth Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force, became a Sith Lord, and led the Empire's eradication of the Jedi Order. He remained in service of the Emperor -- the evil Darth Sidious -- for decades, enforcing his Master's will and seeking to crush the fledgling Rebel Alliance."

How about them apples?

Tasty and juicy, but that still doesn't show that Vader is a knight; in fact the stuff you posted state that he isn't a Jedi Knight
Helps to look up a thesaurus or dictionary on what 'Once' means.

 

[exfatal]

What better knight to choose than the King of Knights?

Came here to find Saber/ king of knights was not disappointed.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Clearly the most noble foe of Symphony of the Night's vast collection.

More serious answer, add me to the Fire Emblem 9/10 pile, the Black Knight has always been my man, taking that cliché concept and owning it.

Honourable mentions to Siegmeyer of Catarina, Shovel Knight (and the rest of the Knight lineup now I think about it) and Sir Dan.

 

[DemiMatt]

Spoiler

My vote goes to any FFT, The Judges, or Revan

 

[kamspy]

Solaire from Dark Souls. Tragic figure. Disowned by his family. Doesn't seem to possess the natural power his family does, still get's damn near everything he wants with grit and determination.

 

[Imbarkus]

Not a lot of people remember...

Rom. SpaceKnight.

 

[Seven Force]

Frog is the best of the best.

From Kingdom Hearts:

Love the design! Well, he's not a real knight but whatever.

Another great Knight

Wow, all three of the answers I had present and accounted for on the first page. Good shit.

 

[sublimit]

Garl Vinland
Ostrava of Boletaria
Lucatiel of Mirrah

 

[TheOGB]

Gotta give a +1 to Shovel Knight

Butt Butt da best

 

[AwShucks]

Shovel Knight


The best.

Came in to post "Shovel"

 

[Rozart]

Torn between Ornstein, Solaire and Artorias...

But if I had to choose, I'd have to go for the Knight of the Abyss himself. Sif gives him the edge. Just look at them. :'(

 

[Irobot82]

The only Knight that matters. Gabriel Knight.

 

[Disgraced]

Ser Royland's enthusiasm for murdering the Boltons and the Whitehills really agrees with me.

Seriously, it's the first word lol

Potential spoilers?

Spoiler

I hope he doesn't end up being the traitor lol

I would say Jaime, but he hasn't shown up in any of the games yet I don't think.

 

[rpg_fan]

Ted Knight.

Well.... we're waiting.

 

[Disgraced]

Potential spoilers?

Spoiler

I hope he doesn't end up being the traitor lol

Spoiler

Yeah, I hope so too. Let's be real, though, it's probably the Maester. I'll bet all the money it's the Maester.

 

[farmerboy]

Arthur, naturally. I adore the makaimura series.

The one and only true answer. Christ I'd love a new game.

If I'm not mistaken, he's the only one that fights the hordes of hell near naked.

 

[HiroTSK5]

I know he's been said many times, but yeah; Cecil is the Text-book definition of a Knight.

 

[DaciaJC]

I have a serious love affair with the Elite Knight armor in Dark Souls.

Same. Best armor set in the series by far.

For actual characters, I submit Mercedes from Dragon's Dogma:

 

[avrophantasm]

How about Croix from Ar Tonelico II? Best protag in the series, imo.

 

[Justinh]

First one to pop in my head was Cecil from FF4. But dammit, after being reminded that Shovel Knight exists, probably gotta go with him.

 

[Dennis]

The only Knight that matters. Gabriel Knight.

We have a winner.
