Silent protagonists have been in JRPGs since the beginning of time... or as long as they've been around at least. In the genre's earliest titles, a self-insert silent protagonist made perfect sense. As the generations moved forward and with graphics improving though, is this still the case these days? This video analyzes the pros/cons of silent protagonists, along with my personal opinion on the concept in modern gaming along with some of my favorite examples of both silent and non-silent protagonists.
