Governer

This is the point where I look at the Pam and the Cliff write up, and I kinda wish I had cut more of the non-characters. Because honestly there is so much less, and less interesting stuff to say about the Governer. Still, he's a decent guy who shows up every so often and doesn't act like a creep. Not much to say about him beyond that.

Marlon

Probably a somewhat controversial placement, since I'm sure Marlon has at least a few fans, but hear me out. Marlon's placement, for me, is solely dependent on the fact that he feels fairly redundant. I think Gil is a much more awesome character concept and design. While Marlon does have the benefit that he shows up at festivals and has a few lines, he gives you your first sword, but... he's not all that interesting to me.

Honestly if they had given those scenes to Gil, and had one dude in the adventurer guild, Gil would be placed much higher on the list. And Marlon wouldn't be so low... because he wouldn't exist!

This is probably one of the most subjective rankings on my entire list. If you happen to like Marlon's design and concept more you could easily swap his place with Gil and say the exact same things about Gil.

Morris

Yes, really, those guys ranked lower than Morris. Honestly, Morris is 'sort of' a dick but nowhere near as bad as some people give him credit for. Probably his worst quality is that he doesn't have many scenes or lines outside of his big scenes. He does come across as needlessly petty and antagonistic at times, but I don't think his character entirely revolves around this. Aside from that there's really only a few of his behaviors you can really take issue with.

1 He has a rivalry with Pierre. Yeah, Pierre is honestly about just as much of a dick as Morris. On top of that, Morris is at least offering affordable items to the community members who have less money.

2 He wants to tear down the community center that no one uses and replace it with a warehouse for his company. I understand in video game logic that he is presented to us as the villain but... really. No one was using the community center. Like, for a really long time. Like, it had completely fallen into disrepair. In real life, barely anyone would give a shit about YoyoMart doing this.

3 YoyoMart is evil. Okay, you've got me there.

But really his low ranking is more dependent on him lacking scenes and not having as much depth as the higher ranking characters. I don't actually consider him all of that different from the next half dozen characters.... though I did use him as a metric often while I was ranking. "Okay, sure, he's boring but is he as bad as Morris" is a thought that popped into my head a lot.
