Tidus from FFX. I wish he died in that opening cutscene, then we wouldn't have to deal with that whiny, arrogant little prick for the rest of the game. "It's my story!" NO! NO IT'S FUCKING NOT! You're just a god damned tag-along whose only purpose is to stuff a romance sub-plot into this story! This is Yuna's coming-of-age story as she learns what it means to truly be a summoner and the weight of responsibility and sacrifice that brings!
Sorry FFX fans, but I'm with Spoony on this one...Tidus is simply a character that should not exist.
Tidus is always you and your gateway to this unknown world and unusual characters. If you hate Tidus you must be totally the opposite of a fairly healthy young man who is in a world they know nothing about with people they know nothing about and considering you should know nothing about Spira on your first time through I think he's perfectly reasonable...but that's just me
Sorry, but I'm not an arrogant little snot who think's he's top-dog because he's a superstar at a physically impossible (even in a sci-fi/fantasy world) sport, such as Tidus.
Think back to every other FF game you've ever played. Every single one of them. They all take place on different worlds, and yet not one of them forced in a "This character is like the player, experiencing a strange new world!" character. FF8 was pretty strange, no player-character in there. FF7 was pretty strange, no player-character in there. 4, 6, Tactics, 10-2, 11, 12, 13, all unique worlds and not one of them needed a little piss-ant like Tidus. 9's world was frickin' nuts...and yet there was no player-character in there. I want to learn about and experience a knew world with my own perceptions, not have them filtered through the eyes and mind of a freak like Tidus because then you're not experiencing the world yourself, you're experiencing Tidus' experience of the world. As such, even your "he's supposed to be you" argument falls flat.
I stand by my point: FFX would have been just fine without Tidus. He's a character that should have never existed in the first place.
