Why do all JRPGs have to include a mandatory Jar Jar Binx retard character?

Do Japs really find this cute or funny?
>>
It started with FF6 and Mog. Moogles were fucking stupid and not funny.
>>
WRPGs do it a lot as well.

Name some. Impossible mode: before 1995.

>>319806015
Actually I liked Quina. But I get you mate.
For example the pink little cunt in Xenogears. I fucking hated it
>>
>>319806015
Who's the retard character in FF7?
>>
It's even worse when the "funny" character is potentially the strongest one and can fill any combat role.
Then you have to decide between hearing his stupid voice all the time or handicapping yourself.
And he'll have an obnoxious internet defense force, who insist his personality is endearing purely because he's "badass", despite being portrayed as a wimp in cutscenes.

You know exactly who I'm referring to.

No wait hang on man I don't know who you're talking about. Tell me cause this sounds funny.

Xenoblade chronicles? not sure.

Reeve/Cait Sith is a patrician character with significan behind-the-scenes involvement in the plot. Nomura successfully trolled you edgelords, congrats.

Who are all the stupid characters in Chrono Cross?

Bingo.

>>319806015
>hating on Quina
He's/She's one of the best blue mages in the series
>>
>>319807169
I like Riki's character, but his English voice is annoying as fuck. It's even more painful because I think his Japanese voice is actually cute, but the rest of the cast I prefer in English.

I didn't use him in battle though, I went with Shulk/Dunban/Reyn for most of the game and then Shulk/Dunban/Fiora once I could.
>>
>>319807169
Who is Pip from Chrono Cross?

I'd much rather have a Jar Jar type character rather than 8 humans.

>>319807831
I'd rather have you in a garbage compactor than read your bullshit.

Can't handle all that brown huh?
>>
>>319807831
I'd like 8 interesting humans. If it's 8 uninteresting humans and/or Jar Jar Binks then I won't waste my time with either.
>>
>>319806015

It's more like "let's have this weird creature thing!" for no reason. Though honestly, it's okay because it spices things up a bit in terms of character diversity. All-human parties are kind of shit anyway.
>>
>>319808160
I don't even get why everyone seems to hate Sharla, other than elitists hating her for gameplay reasons because she's the casual crutch being the only mass healer.
>>
>>319806015
quina grew on me really quickly. when i started playing the game and saw it, i just thought it was some maniacal being obsessed with food that would try to kill everyone at some point and eat them or something.

>tuurns out to be innocent, warm-hearted and humble, and even though he can literally defeat giant enemies by eating them, he doesn't come across as a glutton outside of battle.

"Good food not only delicious! Good food made with heart! This very important when cooking for friends!"

>talking shit of quina

smfh tbphwy family
>>
>>319807661
More than half of them.
>>
Only the shit ones have retarded/animal characters.
>>
Quina wasn't really as bad as a lot of comic relief characters though, xe had a real backstory and purpose for being an idiot.
>>
>>319806359
Moogles in FFTA were a normal intelligent race (with clothing, cultures, jobs etc), while in the other FFs they're more like talking animals (with the talking part being optional)
>>
>>319807169
I don't think anyone likes Teddie, though for some reason there are still people who insist on using him as support over Yukiko

I liked him at the start of the game, but over time his personality slowly started to wear on me. Especially in the spinoffs where the only thing he ever does is flirt.

I do like his design a lot at least.

I thought Teepo was going to be that way for a while but he ended up being pretty cute

What are some good JRPGs that don't have meme/disposable tag-along party members?
>>
>>319810928
Most of them? Just look for those that don't have any cute mascots.
>>
>>319806015
Quina is fucking terrible as a character, but Blue Magic is godly in FF9. It's ridiculous the shenanigans you can pull with this fucker.

Tales of Phantasia, the only one that's totally disposable is Suzu who's optional anyways. Everyone else has some role to fulfill.

She's not disposable, they needed magic to be able to defeat Dhaos.

Unless you're gonna call her a meme character because of one made up line from a bad fan translation.
>>
>>319807156
FF7 it is Yuffie.

FF8 it is Zell.

FFX it is Rikku (or Tidus).

FFXII doesn't really have one that I can recall. FFXII takes itself fairly seriously.

FFXIII it is bird-nigger.

Cait Sith but it works well in that case because he's actually a puppet being controlled by Reeve. Not to mention he came with a catchy as fuck theme.

The better questions is who is the retard character for FFVIII? putting my money on Zell

The most retarded retard Final Fantasy character of all time though is Quina hands down.
>>
>>319812210
>not liking the "fucks like a tiger" line

I don't like it either, dropped the snes version like a rock after that

The retard character in 12 was Vaan_____.

I bet you're the retarded character of your life

>>319810437
He was kind of good at first and his shadow self was great but once he hops into the real world he's just insufferable and just fucks everything up, he manages to ruin the cultural festival for everyone and just acts as shitty comic relief

>The most retarded retard Final Fantasy character of all time though is Quina hands down.
I dunno, I'd vote for Guy for that title. Dude talked to beavers.
>>
>>319812254
yuffie ain't the retard, she's the genki girl ^_____^ that every fucking jrpg seems to require. the closest thing 7 had to a retard character was the turks.
>>
>>319808549
Personally only hate sharla cause her retarded AI would always go into melee range, despite having a fucking gun, drove me fucking nuts on later bosses who had radial/cone type AoEs, though by that point you don't even need her and could easily make due with melia's/shulk's/riki's healing

Lucian, everything he did was stupid and dangerous. There was no need for a male lead or romance but this lovelorn moron is a black mark on the game.
>>
>>319812254
Sazh is the most realistic and relatable character in FFXIII.
Except for the fact that he's a black man that cares about his kid.

Confirmed for not having played FFXIII. Sazh was one of the better characters in the series.

The creature who plays the piano.

Quina is cute, CUTE!

>>319806015
Name a single character like that from the DQ series, you know the most popular JRPG ever

Exactly, shut the fuck up

nah it's Rikku. She doesn't have a strong reason to be in the party.

only that she's following her cousin around trying to keep her safe (same reason as literally ever other guardian)
>>
>>319817069
You are an idiot. Are you just guessing? Give up because there arent any characters like what OP is talking about.
>>
>>319812254
Bird nigger is the only character that responds to any situation with the appropriate response in that game.

He's genuinely a likeable person. The bird is stupid but aside from that he's the only one that could actually seem like a competent leader or soldier. Aside from the bird he doesn't even fit in with the other characters aesthetically. He just wears pants, boots, ands flight jacket.
>>
>>319817160
Tidus - wanna go home
Auron - i made a promise
Wakka - guardian
Lulu - guardian (childhood friend of Yuna)
Kimarhi - guardian (also made a promise)
Yuna - pilgrimage
Rikku - Yuna's cousin??
>>
>>319817467
I think trying to stop your cousin from killing themselves is a valid reason to be there
>>
>>319806015
Quina a cute.

>The better questions is who is the retard character for FFVIII? putting my money on Zell

Yuffie and Rikku are clearly in the small, spunky girl category along with Selphie, Eiko, Penelo and Vanille.

Cross? There's a sequel?

But Sazh is objectively the best character from the XIII series.
