First things first I agree with the post on Tidus. Geez do I despise that guy. From his appearance to his personality, never has my senses been so offended by a whimpering abomination of a character. I don't like Yuna either but geez does Tidus grind my gears! You know what's the sickest part? I've spent soooo many years jumping to defend Tidus by joined the wagon of hate for Vaan from FFXII. Now I'm just confused as hell as to why I did that in the first place. Vaan was in no way or shape a great character but complaints for him are so baffling and stupid that I honestly couldn't bring myself to hate him. Everything he did was honest to god, warranted. "Gross he's not wearing a shirt!" Yeah and neither did tons of other FF characters like Sabin, Barret and Seymour and none of them lived underground of a city that was surrounded by desert plains and large bodies of water. "Well he shouldn't be the protagonist he isn't important enough!" Much like FFVI, XII doesn't have a single protagonist and Vaan's role of joining the party together under circumstance and keeping Ashe form using the neithicte's power for revenge thus resulting in destroying the world, sounds pretty important to me. Beside's his brother was killed by the same people he's fighting against, so that sounds like motivation. "Yeah well I hate his prettyboy face!" Oh you mean like Tidus, Zidane, Cloud, Bartz and Cecil (especially) before him? The kid was ignorant of the world around him but I'll take the dreamer...
Over the dream
any day of the week.
A couple other Squeenix characters I dislike just as much if not more than Tidus.
Nearly everyone in the Kingdom Hearts series, save for Aqua.
Nearly everyone in the XIII trilogy (especially Hope and Caius), and save for Fang and Sazh.
Yes your eyes don't deceive you, it really is Noctis. And yes I know it's taboo to hate on a character that isn't even fully established yet but allow me to explain myself. The fanbase has been wanking this guy to high heavens, treating him like he's objectively the best thing to come out of Square history despite being nearly a blank slate for over 6 years now. Personally it's getting on my nerves to the point that I just can't stand the guy anymore. I'm just supposed to accept that this guy is instantly better than Ramza or Locke because Nomura is behind the design so it must be true? What adds fuel to the fire was Nomura's claim that he wont be a brooder like Cloud was. How odd is it that Cloud's character was seen as strong, confident and inspiring back in 97 but after Sakaguchi steps down and Nomura has 100% creative control over him he's now seen as that distant, sulking, Squall impersonator today? The point is Cloud wasn't an overly moody character until Nomura's addition to him in KH and the compilation games. Now to get back on Noctis, I'm sure he'll be fine. I'm sure I may even like his character when he comes to be but until then, he's staying on the list, sorry. :frown:
Now that's enough from Squeenix. Lets get to some other characters.
Hawkeye
Sorry Tony.
And much much more!!!
