The most notable thing about Final Fantasy XIII-2 is that the characters are less irritatingly extreme. No sullen mopey emo types. And no hyperactive upbeat idiots sapping your fun by having it all themselves. Even the fan service cameos have been toned down and made excellent.
So... what's with the Moogle, Square? Let's briefly celebrate 25 years of annoying, awful or just downright crap characters in the Final Fantasy universe. Beware spoilers.
Hmmm. I think it's missing hope, Selphie, and Zell. I didn't really like a lot of the characters from 8 actually.
Out of all the Final fantasy games i have played, there's only Wakka i really hated, never understood how a fine woman like Lulu got together with him.
"I'm giving up days of my life pretending to be this rude douche."
You're playing JRPGs wrong. You were never supposed to insert yourself into any of the roles. The characters and story are all pre-determined for a reason.
Hmm official Xbox magazine...you're probably more familiar with WRPGs.
Oh and really? FF1 and 2? You're gonna complain that those games weren't narrative enough? Back then...no games were. In fact, FF1 was probably the most narrative of them all AT THE TIME.
Just a couple gripes.
At least you didn't put Cloud or Sephiroth on the list just to be different and prove you're out for hits. Props for that.
"Hats off to FF8 - they made the protagonist so stubbornly unlikeable that you were rooting for evil to win. Hot tip to Square: having a lead character who responds to everything with an ellipsis isn't building a character."
That's what made me like Squall, tbh. Here's something to do next time anyone plays FFVIII: Completely ignore Squall's inner dialogue. It makes his random outbursts and off-tangent conversations so much more hilarious because they seem to come out of nowhere. It also makes his friends shocked and surprised reactions so much funnier.
I don't really understand the reasoning for hating Aerith though...the author hates her because she died? Huh?
Who can hate Squall? Vanille is absoLUTEly the worst.
