Who is the worst RPG protagonist and why is it this fuckboy?

He single-handedly ruined the Final Fantasy franchise because he was so shit. I couldn't even get halfway through the game at first because he just annoyed the shit out of me so bad, and the second time I tried playing it years later the game just wasn't good enough to keep my playing.

Fuck this guy and fuck FFX.

Tidus is a (relatively) normal guy in a world of idiots. Its all the situations the story presents that is bad. Not Tidus.

Cecil on the other hand just sits there and watches as his party members die. As well as being used by half a dozen people. He's the worst FF protag.

Tidus is really polarizing and it's totally fine if you don't like him, but for a lot of people his optimism and naivety were a breathe of fresh air for the genre.

And for all of those people who played RPGs beyond what Squaresoft produced, we had seen those types of characters for 20 years.

Tidus is literally the best final fantasy protagonist. He starts off as a weak ass dork, but he makes the best of the shit hand he was dealt and grows to be a hero.

People just like jumping on a band wagon even if it's not actually true- see the laughing scene.

The thing about people hating the laughing scene is that they have no fucking idea what it was about.

That whole scene was literally about fake laughing when you feel like shit, so you can keep moving forward.

Why are so many people so fucking handicapped that they can't get the context of a scene.

oh yeah I was bad-posting, sorry. Yeah, "This is my story" is basically Tidus and Yuna competing over whose story (and whose tragic sacrifice) it is. Tidus wins.

And then in FFX-2, Yuna trivializes the entire theme of the previous game in order to bring her boyfriend back, but I actually think this is cool, because, you know, her story. Fuck your ideas of what makes a good narrative, she wants her man back, right?

>Ruined him
Why, because he realized that it's okay for him to open up and care about someone? That part where he realizes how he feels about Rinoa is my favorite part because I can relate. You're just a wannabe edgemaster who thinks it's a bad thing for some reason to feel emotions.

I think Terra is a weak character. But your take isn't accurate at all. She's an introspective loner because she's scared of her esper side and has been abused her whole life.

Game would still be better without her and focused on Celes. Who had the same trust issues and introspective personality, but grew out of it.

I like that Luke has a genuine character arc. I don't like that he had to accidentally kill hundreds of people in order to bring it about. Still, he had a lot of great moments, both before he changed and after.

Tidus didn't destroy the franchise. It's hard to be worse than Vaan and Lightning.

And even then Vaan has fans from the other games he's been in. Nobody likes Lightning because her whole series was garbage.
>>
>>322288661
The issue with Vaan is kind of similar to the one in FFX. SE didn't think people would want to play as an older dude.
Vaan's pretty OK in FFTA2. At least he put on a shirt.

Its more that Square was trying to make a silent protagonist who was the central figure of the game. But then they gave the character a voice...which killed the point.

Tidus and Vaan are the FF equivalent to a Suikoden lead.

TIDUS IS THE MANLIEST FF CHARACTER
Réception
C
Clyde Minyem
à moi
8 sept. 2015Détails
Tidus is the manliest FF character in the entire series. He is one of my favorite characters because of the character development he has compared to other characters and games.

When it starts off, yes, he is a pretty big pussy. Very charismatic sure, but when he whined about his dad, it didn't seem completely justified. Sure it sucked, but he went on a little too much about it.

But as the game progressed, he whined less and less. And was able to make a decision that I don't think anyone would have made like he did.

First of all, he found out he wasn't even fucking real. I mean, being dead but still in the realm of the living is one thing, but he wasn't even that. He was just a dream. A DREAM. The person he was based on wasn't even like him.

Second of all, when he found out that defeating Yu Yevon would end the dream of the Fayth, he didn't even hesitate. He didn't spend time thinking it over. He didn't whine. He knew what had to be done and the repercussions it would have.

See, in the world of Spira, there's an afterlife. You die, your pyreflies (or whatever the fuck) gather in the Farplane and you exist there.

But Tidus? He would cease to exist completely. Think about for a second. Death is frightening because people aren't sure what will happen. They are afraid of the worse case scenario, nothing. Just blackness for eternity. You just stop. That's what would have happened to Tidus. He'd disappear and then have nothing for him afterwards.

But he didn't fucking even flinch when the choice was made, and when it came down to it. Can you fucking do that? No, you fucking can't. I know I can't. That mere concept scares the shit of me and I just about lock up. But he did it for the future of Spira, and for the one he loved, Yuna.

And that's why Tidus is the most manly FF character faggots

He was a welcome break from the generic grim and stoic protagonists

>OP thinks Tidus is bad

No, more the part where he loses all brain and decides to just cross an intercontinental bridge alone and in secret despite everyone he was running away from being fully committed to supporting him in figuring out a way to help her.

Additionaly, the whole "learning how to be a leader and balancing what he wants with his responsabilities" part of his characterization was completely abandoned in favor of literally caring about nothing, including common sense, but waking Rinoa up.

Tidus looks like the worst of Japanese pop culture vomited fabric all over him in disproportionate quantities. But that's not the most offensive part of this faggot. While his fashion sense could largely be ignored through the power of squinting, his emotional baggage was unavoidable and seemingly the unholy love child of Dawson's Creek and My So-Called Life. Final Fantasy X is Daddy Issues: The Game. And it's not like Tidus has any remarkable qualities outside of his angst; anyone who thinks that fake laughter is the first step to emotional recovery needs a few classes on how to be a functional human being.

Yuna, Seymour and a lot of the NPCs had horrible voices even in the serious parts. So yes, its still a pretty bad dub. Even overlooking that scene.

But even in that scene, there's such a thing as acting laughably bad...and just not acting. Yuna couldn't express emotion in any scene.

Good. FF14 has better characters, story, music, world and even combat than 13. I played FF14 for 6 months this year and loved it. Shame after you get to the end of Heavensward there is fuck all to do and I unsubbed. Do hope they fix the game and I'll go back.

I'll never touch "real Final Fantasy" again. 13 was shit. Don't want to play the sequels. 15 is nothing but Kingdom Hearts. FF7 remake is blatant halfassed cashgrab.

You clearly haven't played either game so your opinion means fucking nothing.

I played XI for 8 years because it's a damn fun game. XIV is fun too. Both are exponentially better than XIII.

No, try to use your brain to keep up.

I hate them because they're retarded MMOs and I don't play MMOs. I'm not interested in that stupid crap. I play story-driven single-player RPGs, preferably with a love story attached. Those are the games I play.. Not MMOs.

The fact that they're numbered titles is just what annoys me about them. If they weren't, I could simply ignore them - But they are, so it's even worse.

I don't know man, the bridge scene was extremely jarring. Not the space scene, the space scene is cool [even if a little contrived]. It's a do-or-die moment, and what you expect out of a climax like that. But everything else before that...

That was mainly due to the way game wad dubbed. Everybody had to delibertely match the japanese lip flap so it sounds very stilted, especially in Yuna's case. Auron doesn't have much issues since the vast majority of the time, his mouth was covered by the collar
>>
>>322290526
It's not about emotional recovery. It's that both of them are in terrible situations with little to no chance to fix it. The whole scene is both of them trying to keep people from seeing their problems and revealing their immaturity. At the end of the game Yuna isn't forcing a fake smile and Tidus accepted fully what he needed to do, fully contrasting the laughing scene.
>>
I love FFX. Monster Arena is fun. Switching between the whole cast mid-battle is fun too. More JRPGs should do it.

Blitzball is great too provided you're good at it. Only the people that suck at it and don't recruit the right people end up complaining about it.
>>
>>322291994

I know that's part of it. But even in some scenes when Yuna isn't rushing through her lines, she sounds bad.

Wakka has a famous voice actor who obviously knows how to act. And even he had some examples where he was cut off or rushed. But he still acted fine compared to Yuna holy crap...

I knew exactly who to recruit and how to play Blitzball. It still just comes down to using Tidus, Brother and the goalie you find on the Thunder Plains. Steal a few techs and you never lose.

Its also just fucking Water Polo. With a turn based engine. Sports games are the one genre that shouldn't be turn based. But even then, it could have been done better than they did.

Why? To make it 'harder' on yourself?

He's overpowered in early levels. And you only have to get to level 20 to get all the items. Don't tell me you're one of those losers who grinded to high levels in Blitzball.

Nah. There is a team I use without him and its fucking amazing even at early levels so difficulty has nothing to do with it. I just choose not to use him out of preference and was mentioning it.

I played Blitzball enough for Wakka's Ultimate Weapon and dicked around with it for fun here and there after that, but I still never really used Brother.

If you play the game again, you might as well try him. You can win any game just with Brother on your team. Since his shot is three times the amount of any other player (it starts at 20) and he can break three defenders at once.
>>

>>322294973

The belts were to add detail to the models to show off how far they had come with ps2 era technology.
>>
>>322294973

Nomura is obsessed over JPOP and Japanese clothing. And his current style represents whatever is popular in Japan at the time. When FFX came out, wavy hair, excessive accessories and cut off shorts were the fashion craze at the time.

As much as I hate his style, its a major reason the FF fanbase gets into the games. Because the same people who obsess over JPOP and Shounen anime will also obsess over Final Fantasy.

He's not interested in it as in picking something to wear. He's INTERESTED in it. Like a French man who aspires to work in the fashion industry level of interest.

Nomura spends more time on his appearance than almost anyone else except Ikuhara of Utena fame.

Tidus' entire fucking story is "boohoo my daddy didn't hug me enough".
>>
>>322296894

Yuna's story becomes meaningless once Tidus talks her out of the pilgrimage. And if the rest of the cast didn't conspire to hide everything from him and they mat Rikku 20 hours earlier, they could have defeated Sin right at the start of the game and saved everyone the trip.

Yuna is effectively pointless to the story in the long run. She's just a vessel for carrying the summons to the final battle and she knows Rikku who gets you the airship. In the end, it really is Tidus' story. And everyone else is trying to stall it as long as possible.

That's literally the only reason you need to play the previous 20 hours. If all you had was Yu Yevon to fight, he'd just keep casting auto life on you endlessly until you beat him.

Gameplay wise, you need Yuna. Story wise, she's only there to get the airship and cast useless summons on Yu Yevon.
