Personally, id have to say Zidane and Vivi from ff 9, as their struggle to find a meaning in their life, a meaning to their prove that you exist and what death is, has defined my thought and person ever since.

Other than that, i like Squall from ff 8 and Sach for their development throughout the game, as we slowly se them change and accept the challenges and learn that there is more to everything then what they see. it doesnt make them great, but it makes them more human, and therefore all the more personal and alive to me..

Which brings me to some of the ones i hate... im not a big fan of... well, thats it... theres things i dont like.. like vanilles voice, or that damm whistling brat from ffx that im not sure of the name of right now. but they, as well as most of the charachters in the ff universe all grow on you as you watch them, and they all change, or you get to know them better, and understand them better.

But i will say this... i dont like Cloud, as he is mostly overrated. and i know that he is a mercenary and therefore is supposed to be cold and alof, but god dammit. there is no fucking change in the man, no growth as a person, and as a main charater, that just makes him unpersonal, and he feels fake.

Very predictable. How fun! Care to pitch in? ;D

Hehe, it wasn't terrible but at the time I was just like... "Uhh... what?" but the whole setting grew on me.
But yeah, the music is great, like I tried to post to you earlier, so I'll do it again here just so I can hear it xD
Yeah, I see what you mean but... I don't know I just liked her throughout for some reason. Perhaps it's because of the look, I don't know but she did have some moments of just sorta "Shut the fuck up" but... oh wait, I'm thinking of Rikku, never mind. Still liked her too but she was a bit annoying to me in the beginning :p
Hm. Well, I think it was because I played Kingdom Hearts before I played any Final Fantasy and I liked him from that on so he just stuck with me for whatever reason :3

He's okay and I liked that he was really douchey to begin with and then just grew into the hero he wanted to be towards the end. Of course though, Vanille is always superior ^_^
Eh...I'll say from my memories from when I played it, which was at the age of 12...I was too busy fucking about in the Golden Saucer. This is a comfy fence. :D XD But nah, I didn't find him all too whiny. Sure, he had a ***** now and then but Cait Sith just sort of barged in, tea-bagged my mind and is now my FF VII hate figure. ...Shortly after Yuffie. Materia stealing cow...¬¬

Yeah, that's what threw me off the game when I first played it, a coupla days after finishing X. But yeah, the setting is great, plus the main villains are good. I quite liked Lenne and Shuyin.
And damn you! I need to find a site on my mobile phone that'll let me download that to it. I've got Otherworld on it, which is the music from the scene where Sin trashes Zanarkand.
Hmm, maybe it's her back-story that makes you like her too, as well as her dress sense? As she does have a pretty interesting back-story, albeit one filled with death, and her own personal reason to be on that ship with the others. I've not got all of the spheres yet that detail her past though. And Rikku in FF X-2 sort of pisses me off. She's bearable as she's pretty funny at times but they just killed her. I touched on this before but they completely changed her character from FF X from clever young Al Bhed girl to a ditzy silly Al Bhed girl. It just doesn't really make sense to turn her character around so much. :p
Ah, I've never played Kingdom Hearts so no comment there. XD

Yeah, plus he saved Serah too. I'm just looking forward to XIII-2, see where they go from there. I know a bit about the story and it seems to be a bit like X-2's, find out what happened to somebody and if you can save them. And Vanille is superior. :)

Heh, no worries then. Besides, everyone's entitled to their own opinion. I know I'm one of the few who actually enjoy X-2, thinks XIII is one of the best in the series and that VIII can go to hell. I'm used to being the minority XD
Never really cared much for Yuffie though, in FF or Kingdom Hearts :p


It just kinda grows on you but not knowing really what was going on and just suddenly seeing this weird pop concert just threw me off from it and I put it down for a day or two. xP
Argh. Bad phone is bad. Sorry to hear that as that is an amazing song.
Still, I'm sure you probably have the soundtrack anyway ;3
Probably. I like those sort of tragic characters who still are relatable and likable throughout and with sexy dress sense, so that's even better ^_^
However, yeah Rikku was pretty terrible. Loved her in X but she was just annoying in X-2. Changed her from a smart, cute and lovable character to a blonde bimbo type. Weird choice but... I suppose they have their reasons >.>
I'm honestly just tired of seeing Rikku hentai everywhere <..>
Really should play Kingdom Hearts though, but you know my opinion of the series already, so I shan't reiterate ;P

I suppose
They're just reviving everyone. Which I kinda like because I don't like my favourite characters dying *sad*
It'll be interesting though and I'll certainly get it on release day but I really really want to see Versus soon. As in right fucking now o.o

My favorite is any of the first 8 protagonists in FFVI, because they all have good character development and my least favorite is probably Cloud. He has little to no character development, which is bad for a protagonist.

Cecil, Auron, Kain are my favorites. Tho I don't like Cecil as much when he turns into a paladin, he's still an alright character.

Most hated: Pretty much everyone else. save for a few choice ones like Tifa, Rydia, Terra, Edge, Barret, Freya, and Fran. All the others pretty much annoyed me in one way or another. Tho if your looking for single most hated we can sum it all up quickly for you. Edward. The fucking bard. I can not put into words how much I hate him. Tidus, Cait sith, Squall, Cloud, Yuffie, none of em got shit on Edward who's just a complete and total pussy.

Favorite: Locke, the thief... er, "treasure hunter" from 6.
Least favorite: Vaan, the moron from 12 (and he gets worse in revenant wings.)
Wait he gets worse? Seriously? HOW?!

Favorite: As 12 didn't really have a protagonist, (Vaan does not count), I'm gonna go with Balthier from 12. He just kicks butt.
Cecil is a very close second though.

Least: Vaan, cause of what that guy up there at the top of the page said... Yes I'm too lazy to quote him.

Edited cause I'm lazy... wait what?

*looks at avatar* bet you cant guess who my favorite is.

least favorite: hope, if he counts, otherwise its cloud, because, seriously, he's his worlds most powerful badass, but he's always whineing about how he cant protect anyone.

I liked the X-2 game, strange as it was in comparison to all the others, though what could you expect from the first sequel, but XIII just rubs me wrong... no proper sidequest, no real exploring, no small stories and characters you can follow that dont really belong in the main game but still contribute to the feel of depht in the game... it just isnt Final Fantasy

Least: Vaan
He was just a immature kid the creators shoe-horned in the game so Balthier wouldn't be considered the main character since piracy in general in a no-no in Japan. I know it's the same for Penelo, but I just found Vaan more annoying.
HIGH FIVE.

I remember when I played the game I had thought "Why are you even here" quite often throughout my playthrough, but I left it at that, assuming that it would somehow later be revealed as to what his purpose was. BUT IT NEVER WAS EXPLAINED. Fawk, even his party members questioned what the hell he was doing farting around with them.

He really is overshadowed by balthier isnt he? :D i especially adore that even in the ending clip, balthier steals the spotlight from him

Heh. I actually hated X-2 when I first played but replaying it now, not blinded by the sheer awesomeness that is X, I'm enjoying it a lot. Heh and I guess I'm in the majority to when I say VIII was good and IX was boring. ...Then again, I never finished it but then again, I never felt like playing it after disc 1 was done. XD

Yeah, that's what sort of threw me off too. But I did enjoy it back then, although I never recognised it as J-Pop at the time, just pop.
Ah, I'm sure there's some way for me to get it. And I actually don't, I've tried looking up the majority of the songs on a mobile website I visit a lot but it only has Otherworld on it, under Rammstien or whatever.
Ah, dark mysterious characters tend to be my draw too. I think that's why I like Auron as well, as well as him being a total badass. But yeah, Paine also fills the dark, moody and totally badass character type, to an extent.
I think that may have been why the fan-service rumours started flying around. Make her dumber and sexier to entice the teenage fans. But she's still likeable in X-2, I just don't agree with what they did. At least they didn't do the same to Yuna and in fact made her sort of stronger and a bit more laid back.
And I've not seen any of the hentai surrounding FF games. ... << *Ahem* XD
I've looked, none of my local gaming shops stock a copy, nor can I get it online due to me not having a card. :p

Yeah, it's pretty much that. Lightning's on a quest to see if Fang and Vanille can be somehow restored to life without Cocoon smashing into the ground. Sort of like X-2's where Yuna is looking for Tidus til Vegnagun rocks up to fuck shit up.
And hasn't Versus been on the verge of being released for bloody ever? o.o

Auron will allways be my favourit my dislike of Tidus was so strong I perminently removed him from my party and had Auron take his place
-hounorable mention to Lighting I know she is a bit of a cliche but I liked her
