    The 4 heralds.

    Saw this posted over on reddit & figured I'd pose the same question to the community here. Which of the 4 Seed family members do you find most interesting? Who do you think will be most exciting to engage with in the story? Is Joseph going to be the most interesting one with his prophecy and charisma? What about Jacob, the army vet who has found his new "mission"? What about Faith? What is here role and how will she fight back against us? And John, the lawyer who has orchestrated the family's position of power in Hope County?

    i think john is going to be interesting he seems more of like a guy who is a manipulater

    i saw a far cry wiki type site that told the character ages and john is the yungest brother by ten years so he is also the yungest male antagonist so maybe the one who most phisically formidable as joseph and john are in their 40s

    faith tho will be interesting cause she doesn't seem like a character who you will get in a shootout with so i will be curious to see how her story line plays

    Far Cry always had an interesting cast of villains. Just looking back we have had Vaas, an unpredictable, psychotic, violent, merciless, coked-up pirate warlord and slave trader who kills purely for entertainment. The Australian Buck, who is one of the most depraved and violent of all the inhabitants. And let’s not forget Pagan Min . Overall, I think we are going to get engaging personalities that will show different sides of the villains.

    I'm curious if this game will actually have us face down with these villains in some sort of boss-fight-esque mission at the finale of their story-lines & if so if each 'boss' has a different method that must be employed to defeat them. I wouldn't want some boss fight where they just become a bullet sponge we shoot 10 clips at in some closed off arena but it would be cool if you had to take each one out in a different way. I suppose FC4 was sort of like that, but at the same time Noore & De Pleur's sequences were similar (sneaking your way into their 'lair' where they were vulnerable) but I would want something a bit more of an actual fight. Yuma's mission was basically a hallucination and Pagan's was never actually fighting him, just all his troops, approaching him was either a trigger pull or listening to his speech...

    Can't think of how they would do it, I would just like to see a showdown with each boss that takes varying tactics to be successful with...

    I actually liked the Jackal in Far Cry 2 he didn't say a lot but he was a character you could understand - he was there for the highest bidder, said it like it was and would look out for himself - while playing both sides.



    Looking at that image above the guy 3rd from the left is wearing handcuffs but looks to have a stab or bullet proof vest on - maybe law enforcement they captured.
    The dog has what looks like a Sgt George's cross on it's head - that I believe is a symbol from the crusaded that we have on our English flag.


    Then in that pic above 2 of them have shaven heads and basic cloths, almost worshiping Faith as beauty itself.



    The brother with the knife Jacob looks like he is a little frightened where the other one John with the gun looks like a confident evil man.
    Joseph looks like the calm before the storm.



    A little off topic - Found that image doing a google search, it's interesting as you can see Falls End from the E3 demo in the background, the water tower on the hill in front of the church.

    I agreed, John looks like he could be a secondary villain. He could even be the Vaas of the story.

    did they change the look of faith from th original box art reveal her hair looks more blond in that second picture

    i read that she is the one who calms and really indoctrinates the people they are able to recruit so maybe that has to do with why those shaven headed cultests are fawning all over her there she gets former civilians to believe and trust the cult wich probly makes them feel like they love her

    i am getting more interested in faith because she seems like the least predictable one as far as confrontation with her i do not know how we will fight her a shoot out seems unlikely where as i can imagine such an end with the 3 brothers

    By the way, we always mention Vaas in our discission.....Frankly speaking I can easily imagine Vaas hitting in religion....crying with tears and repenting...so many sins....so many deaths...If FarCry take place in Latin America he can appear as a priest, returning home, older and with another haircut of course, in one of the scenes...as easter egg may be.... Even his surname sounds very latin - Montenegro. He can be a good priest.....but in extreme situation previous Vaas is breaking free!
