greenrock Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 i know its the "three main protagonists of GTA 5" but i can't help to think that, Michael is going to be central focus of the 3.. what I mean is, the game ultimately will revolve around Michael.. the storyline, the narrative Franklin and Trevor are equally as important, and i do believe Rockstar will try to equal them out, storyline wise, but i believe Michael will be the most important i believe its about his relationship with the lead characters Michael and Franklin father-son relationship Michael and Trevor friendship not so Much of Trevor and Franklin, i believe there will be humorous conversations and they will eventually get along, but its not as important as Michael's relationship with the other 2 leads imho Michael is the driver of the narrative, he is the one that unites Trevor and Franklin, and his heists that he plans are really what pushes the story foward this is just my opinion, i could be wrong.... but this is my belief of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwinterj Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I agree and I wouldn't be surprised if the first mission is with him. As much as Trevor is my favorite Michael seems to be the one that connects everything together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaFoam Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Yep, I definitely agree. Him being the narrator in the 1st trailer gives a little weight to this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red XIII Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 You only feel he is the main character because he was the first character presented to us. If we saw franklin first then we would think franklin was the main character. Me personally I don't think any of the three will be the main character but them as a group will be the main focus.

GR7 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 He was going to be the sole protagonist of GTAV before R* decided to go with three. Imagine how different the game would have been if they stuck with Michael only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still what would GTAV had been like if Michael was the only protagonist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple Vacuum Seal Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I put this in the wrong thread earlier but... What seems strange about Michael, is that he's in the witness protection. So doesn't this mean that with all of the noise he's been making as a big time heist mastermind, he'll just be baiting out all of the predators who forced him into the WP to begin with? Idk. It just seems like the story will get messy as it plays out. Messy in a good way though. More heads to bust. "shut up, sit down, relax" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durden Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Great observation, greenrock! Now I'm not shy to say my belief of the game: I think that we can buy hotdogs in GTAV because the preview mentioned a hot dog stand by the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlitzyTomb Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'm kind of hoping the story will wander significantly into the lives of Franklin and Trevor as well though. Perhaps a heist will be delayed due to an arrest or a death in the family. Perhaps Trevor will come to Michael/Franklin and ask for money to keep The Lost off his back. Really I just hope that as Rockstar have said we won't be experiencing multiple protagonists as separate blocks of gameplay we won't be experiencing those protagonists stories as separate blocks. I hope that we don't venture into Michael's world until we run into Franklin, then into Franklin's world until we run into Trevor etc. etc. I'd like to have events in the life of one interrupt their group plan and the events of one another's lives.

Alec Skorpio Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I thought Dan Houser said that while Michael is what pushes the story forward by having the inspiration for the theists, he felt Trevor was more of the central character? Maybe I read something wrong tho.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Justice Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 They never said Michael was going to be the only protagonist in early stages of development, they said he was the first they came up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I<3GTAV Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I agree, it seems like Micheal is the brains of the trio, which would ultimately make him the leader. He would plan each heist, and Franklin and Trevor would go along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niick99 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I believe that ALL 3 characters are the main characters. If they wanted michael to be the only protaginist, they woulda made the game about him and him alone. What I think R* has done with the multiple protaginists idea will pay off well, because if you really think about it you will see how this gigantic world will look in three different perspectives, and the 1main character bit is starting to get old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nameless Foot Soldier Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I highly agree. Michael was the man who brings all of them together, he is the one who thinks of doing heists, he is the one who I think is going to bring the group into conflict with old thugs from Michael's past. Michael basically gets the ball rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems like the story will get messy as it plays out. Messy in a good way though. More heads to bust. One of the previews briefly mentioned Michael '''using his connections to get into WPP'' so it would mean with the money and power he gained earlier in life, he used them to basically give himself freedom for the rest of the life by being in a fake witness protection program so he can enjoy his money instead of sitting somewhere in jail.
