Tora – Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Imagine, if you will, a character that speaks and acts like Jar Jar binks, but instead of playing a supporting role in a 2-hour movie he is your constant companion in a 100-hour epic role-playing game.
Tora is a Nopon, a race of creatures with ears that also function as hands and a manner of speaking which, depending on your interpretation is either cute or the most annoying thing imaginable.
Unable to become a Driver, Tora uses his mechanical acumen to construct an artificial Blade known as Poppi. His entire arc essentially revolves around encounters with Lila, another prototype artificial blade constructed by Tora’s father Tatazo, who you will rescue in the back half of the game.
Supposedly comic relief, Tora exists only to provide exposition and your party with someone that fulfills the tank role. He succeeds at the latter.
