If you want an example of a faceless protagonist done right, look no further than Seed from Toushin Toshi II. You never get to see his face outside of his chibi map sprite (although he has a pretty distinct design regardless), and yet he manages to have an extremely fleshed out and layered personality, as well as visibly and consistently grow as a character throughout the game. While you get to influence his actions relatively frequently, no matter what you do, it always makes sense with his character and seems natural.

I'd go so far as to call Seed one of the main draws of the game. He's funny, relatable, dynamic, cute and very flawed, and by the end of the game you really feel like he's grown into a man. Truly he is the faceless nice guy hero that all faceless nice guy heroes aspire to be.
