My favorite character is Asbel, but I believe this is asking a different question than just that, ahaha.
My main character to use in the games? Senel for sure. I'm biased because Legendia was my first Tales game, but Good Old Fisticuffs are fast, blocking is easy, and no Tales game yet has been able to provide a move quite as satisfying as all of Senel's "pick up enemy (no matter how large) and throw them the fuck down" moves. I can pick up giant elemental godwhales with this move! WHALES MAN. I even prefer the 2D battle screen to the 3D ones that the rest of the Tales games have (ducks for cover oh god, unpopular opinions).
That said, in other games I rarely default from the initial protagonist (Luke/Asbel/Jude/etc.) to play as someone else. I just get comfortable with their fighting style and don't really want to bother with learning someone else's.
