I did a female version of this a while back, but now it's time for the male one. Which male hero from the FF series do you think is the worst?

Squall. Whatever. Arrgghh! :mad: I hated it when he said that. He's a one-dimensional character that showed no growth or change and was always predicatble. :mad:

Zidane. I hate the tired 'ladies man but not really' routine, I think Edgar fished that lake dry (and quite well, I might add). He was far too stereotypical and he was just annoying.

Squall would be a close second, because even though I liked him at first, the whole 'I'll change who I've been all these years for no reason what-so-ever and be stupid enough to fall for a girl who would sleep with a sexy tree if she could' deal made me hate him though.

Grrr... I liked Tidus!:love: I vote Zidane and my reasons are the same as TheAbominatrix, Zidane just annoyed me as well sadly!

Tidus was good, yeah! He wasn't a girly wimp... but I could mention someone who IS (cough)Zidane!!(cough)...

He was fun- not too stiff and cold like previous heroes, but still retaining some dignity (Zidane retains none!).

Squall, I hate him... I guess that Zidane is even worse, but Squall was the one that really bored me.

My vote goes to Squall. He's all, "I don't need anybody's help; I can live on my own;" he rejects friendship from anybody; makes everyone think he's really deep, then suddenly out of the blue he has feelings for Rinoa.

I say, 'Whatever,' to that. He thinks he's deep, when he's possibly one of the shallowest characters I have ever known in any type of game.

Tidus... ehh... can't think of anything not derrogitory :p

Squall... couldn't stand his attitude towards others... I liked it, but after a while it sorta got to me.

Squall is the biggest moron in video game history.

Squall for basically the same reason Flying Mullet gave. Although Tidus does come in a fairly close second.

Zidane for reasons already mentioned.

I also dislike Squall and Cloud because of the constant and shallow praise they receive from fanboys. Stupid, yes.

Squall; oh my god, the angst. I BLEED DEATH FROM THIS HEART RIVER RED. And really, what's up with the sudden 180 interest to the opposite sex? It was just so lame and predictable. Granted, he was a badass in battle, but that's where his cool ended.

Considering the fact that FF6 has no main character, I believe that all main characters after Cecil aren't good.

Even Cloud, who strangely has a legion of blind fans that usually say something like: "Cloud is great, look at his hair"!!! I think that he's just stupid.

Anyway, nothing beats Squall when it comes to "worst character"

WTF???? Terra is the main character, why is it that nobody ever seems to get that in their head?

You can go through quite a few crucial moments in the game without Terra, whereas the main characters in other FF's were present pretty much all of the time. I wouldn't say anyone in FFVI is the main character.

I voted Squall. I didn't really mind his personality to begin with, but I couldn't stand the way it changed halfway through. That's not character development, that's Schizophrenia.

IMHO, Zidane is cool and there's nothing wrong with him. I didn't think Squall was that bad, either, because he develops a lot during the game (and no, I don't think it's schizophrenia). Tidus, however, is a psychopathic, cowardice, whining, wimpy and dumby character. He makes a fool of himself many times in the game, and he acts even more like a damsel-in-distress than Yuna, seeing how many times the group gets in trouble because of him and how he has to get saved. His voice is also annoying. Especially during that laughing scene in Luca. The only good thing about Tidus is that it's extremely fun totally beating the stuff out of him with Sora in Kingdom Hearts' Destiny Islands.

It's weird how the latest FF heroes (8-10) are leading the poll. I always thought the characters have been getting more develpment in the newer FFs (excluding FFX). FF6, FF7 and FF9 had my favorite characters in the series.

this is bullsh*t!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tidus was a major wimp, everyone knows auron was the real hero of FFX ive never played FFVIII but i dont think squall could be worst than tidus unless he ran around in yellow spandex with a big pink G on his chest!!!!!!!

Yeah that's super. But seeing as you're in control of Tidus the entire friggin time, that makes him the 'hero'. Get over it.

Cecil is better than all of them. Tidus, Squall and Zidane suck so badly.

Tidus is the worst "hero. " I don't think he deservers that. Inuyasha23 is right Auron IS the hero of FFx. I mean how can someone who can't even punch something that comes up to your waist, can learn to use a sword in a few seconds.

And what's wrong with Squall *CoughCoughPriorDisk3coughCough*. I mean it's not written anywhere that the hero should be happy, open, and giddy. I mean he's a mercenary and uses a gunblade and nothing screams cool like a gunblade IMO.

Maybe you should level him up more. My Zidane rocks my world even without Dyne.

Hmm, I'll say Cloud. But I don't dislike any of them really I just liked him the least.

I loved Squall, he was anti social and quiet, reminds me a bit of myself... but I haven't played much yet so I don't know how he changes. I just like him anyway, and in the dance scene, aww he looks so sweet :love:

I also liked Zidane a lot, he was more cheerful than any of the others, and he was funny plus he really cared about Garnet which showed in a few places especially at the end. And I loved the tail :p

I also liked Tidus a lot, I just thought he was quite strong mentally for what he went through with his dad, and Yuna...

So.. I like Cloud he just doesn't stand out to me as much as the others.

Kindo
09-11-2003, 12:06 PM
Hmm, I don't think Firion had much of a personality. Don't think they had gotten that far in the game series yet. I'm not so sure about Bartz either. But besides those two, I'd probably say Tidus. Just like everything else in FFX, I hate him. One thing is his incredibly stupid personality, but did they have to have him wear that ridiculous outfit? I mean, sure it's good to be innovative when designing new characters... but Tidus' clothes were just silly.

Squall kicks ass because of his major development of character, same with Cecil. Zidane rocks because he was a generally nice guy. Locke rules too, even though I wouldn't agree with the statement of main character there. And you all know about Cloud, awesome story there.

altough squalls personality was anoying in places he was o.k, cloud i liked. I thought he had lots of depth and great personailty, and above that was actually heroic! Tidus is an UNheroic girly wimp (ohh what irony)
he ven waxes his legs for gods sake, he fights with a fish tank sword, and well he was just very very anoying. Very.

Tidus was so incredibly whiney! He reminds me of those stupid jock types who think they're so kool even though they act really childish. I got tired of him always whining to "I hate my old man! I hate my old man!" Not good leadership skills.

Zidane ... he looks like a monkey and Tidus... whinny BRAT!

I was like *we get it! you hate your dad no F'off and keep going!*

Squall was too ... uncaring and then *pouf* he became all sappy and mushy out of the blue. It was weird but cute >.< I liked Squall

you cant really point out the best/worst hero. they each have their up's and down's. cecil worked for a evil empire and blew up towns, terra kinda disapperd from the story after awhile, cloud was a lier and skitso, sqaull was a asshole, zidane was a thief, and tidus was a selfish winy brat. none of these sound like a true hero to me. but yet they all end up reliseing whats wrong with them and save the world form complete distruction(yes not everyone want to distroy the world(yes i have really bad spelling))

note: i left out frion, and butz cause i havent played those games long enough.

Cecil --- No comment. A born hero.
Bartz --- No comment x2. Nothing at all!
Locke --- There isn't really a main character in FFVI, but even if he is, he's pretty much a 'hero' sort of guy.
Cloud --- He's a really funny character. My friends in school always called him a gay for the most obviously reasons (no spoilers). Because I think he's funny, I think he's not bad at all for a change from the 'pure hearted heroes'
Squall --- Urg! Whatever...
Zidane --- He stole my Garnet! GRAH!!!!!!!
Tidus --- Never played FFX but from what I see, he's a wimp...

I agree with Sephiroth 1999AD for sure not to mention my new favourite qoute which is from flying mullet "Oh look, it's Tidus and his aquarium of doom!" That about sums it up for me.

I just have one question about Zidane (sort of a spoiler).
If Zidane's race is assexual then doesn't it mean he does't have a penis? if he doesn't have a penis then why the hell is Zidane so girl crazy for?

(Maybe i took this a little too far?)

I. Hate. Cloud. His hair pisses me off. His lack of personality makes my skin crawl. The FF7 fanboys make it even worse. I really don't see what's so great about that guy. *chill*

Tidus kind of annoyed me at parts, but for the most part I could deal with him. I think it was mainly the voice actor's doing that most people deem him whiny. But I guess I still am trying to figure out why the hell he hates his dad so much. >.>;

I really don't see what's so great about that guy. *chill* I didn't think he lacked a personality. He seemed pretty emotional to me when he saw Sephiroth stab Aeris through her spine right in front of his eyes. He may act cold and uncaring, but he has seen some shitty things in his life. I'm pretty sure I'd be pissed off at the world if I had failed to attain my life-long dream, my home town had been destroyed, my mother and my friend were both killed at the hands of a mad man, said mad man could easily control my mind, my whole life for the past five years had been a lie that I've been living through another person who is already dead, AND the burden of saving the world had been placed on my shoulders. Yeah, I'd be pretty pissed. And being cold and uncaring is a personality. As much as I hate to admit it, even Squall has a personality, even though he has a dramatic personality change half-way through the game.

Germ Hamee
11-17-2003, 05:35 AM
Eh. I probably would be pretty emotional and angry if those things happened to me too... but the thing was Cloud totally failed to convince me any of those emotions of his were real. It felt more like, "yeah, whatever but I guess I better act like I care to make it interesting."

'Course it's been a long time since I played it, so perhaps there was some real emotion somewhere in there. Either way I left the game with an extreme distaste for Cloud.

DocFrance
11-17-2003, 02:17 PM
Hmm, maybe you have a point. But some people just don't want to show any emotion - think of Shadow from FF6.

And... woah, you're from Colorado... you don't see too many people from Colorado

Sasquatch
11-18-2003, 03:00 PM
Sorry, the main character of FFVI is definitely Terra. Just think about it. It's the first character you meet, and throughout the entire game, the plot centers around her. If you think otherwise, did you notice that you couldn't talk to the Espers without her?

DocFrance
11-18-2003, 03:07 PM
The plot doesn't center around her during the second half of the game, it centers around Celes. You don't even have to have Terra join you at all in the second half.

It's good to see that no one voted for Cecil... Yet, maybe there'll be people crazy enough to do something like that...

I just think he's the best main character, ever

Vaan
11-20-2003, 08:49 AM
How can you guys run down Squall? He had great development going from a guy who doesn't care to a guy that cares a lot! Squall is my favorite. I like Zidane too! Tidus is a good character. He had good voice acting and I don't really get it when people whine about him being whiny. People aren't perfect, not even polygon people. I tend to like the characters with problems the most. Cloud is great.

§håd0w
11-20-2003, 09:53 PM
That's why people didn't like him. He had that sudden change that made him seem whipped.

Zidane was really good, why people bash him... I don't know.

Tidus, he's really iffy. He did whine a lot, you have to admit that. That was what made him annoying to be around at times. All he thought was "I hate my father, and no matter what you say, he's a jerk and should not be honored." Even though he helped Braska defeat Sin. It's just the fact that he complains about his father too much is what annoyed me. I could just ignore his voice, but what he said just kept ringing out.

Vaan
11-21-2003, 02:28 AM

I vote goes to squall, though Tidus was pretty, too! He actually left in the middle of the game and didn't fight the final boss!! Now, that was not an everyday life sort of thing, now is it?

Now don't come asking me why my avatar features Squall though I don't like him. Because it was a cool picture for an avatar.
