The most important character in the game O'AKA!

Let's discuss how crucially important this character was to the game of Final Fantasy X.

O'aka really should have become a series staple after FFX. Every FF would be made better if you could randomly run into O'aka and give him money.

He stood up for Yuna and the crew when the Temples turned on them.

He was a stout fellow of great courage and a wonderfully ridiculous accent.

Yeah they tried to have chocolina in the Lightning series but, while i love chocobo ladies, I loved o'aka. Yay for travelling merchants!

"At your service".

Let's not forget his brother Wantz has honorable mention.

I like that you could make an investment in O'aka. The more gil you donated to his cause the cheaper items could be for you later down the line.

Plus I always get a kick out of the merchant who's conveniently placed in uncharted territory looking for customers.

Yeah, Jiro's a great guy.

He was a traveling merchant before the Merchant made traveling merchants cool.

I seemed to have caused an epidemic with appreciation threads in this board.

I'm not sorry.

He's pretty pimp. He shoulda just joined the party for a fee and randomly through items at the injured party members.

Forget blitzball manager 2014, we should have a game set around oaka and trying to build up our own shop.

Actually don't forget blitzball because it needs a stand alone game.

I think they would have to redo blitzball for me to find it anything but a massive headache.

Blitzball manager AND O'aka the general store manager

If they made Blitzball Manager and O'akattear: An Item Shop's Tale I would give them so much money it's not even funny.

And me.

I have this weird thing about respecting women as fellow human beings and not oversexualizing them. I'm sure it's just a phase.

My favourite bit was in X-2 when he was swimming around in the hot springs making up various "Welcome to O'Aka's" songs.

We have Yojimbo for all our gil splurging needs.

"Just gimme a Zanmato dammit!"

Zanmato is the solution to all of FFX's problems... apart from Dark Yojimbo, the cloister of trials and trying to give Seymour a haircut.

No wait actually I think it does that last one too.

O'aka took all of my money.
