I mean come on! She's a princess, has magic without the jobs, owns a Wind Drake and a Moogle, can communicate with animals, saves the party countless times, overshadows any unique traits Lenna has, is more gung-ho and gutsy than Faris, is universally loved by the whole playable cast, and often leads the party after Galuf is gone. I can't be the only one who noticed this.
Yeah, I never took FF V seriously enough Story wise to be that bothered by this. :p
Yeah, but her sprites look stupid.
That's very true, now that I think about it. I need to play FFV again, though now this will likely bug me.
Uhm, no. Not really.
She gets tortured by Ex- Death within a ball of flames, she looses her Grandpa there's no mentioning of her parents and she doesn't win over Bartz and she's too young for that.
So no.
I thought that she was really brave sticking to Ex-Death like that and she does screw up. If she was a Mary- Sue she would of damaged Ex-Death severally or even killed him and she didn't.
Faris and Lenna are Princesses too.
Creepy more like it !Quote:

She is a Mary Sue. But I do love her white mage sprite. :kaoclove:
But Mary Sue means that one is perfect right ? Screwing up, loosing your Grandfather and loosing your parents is not perfect.Quote:

I can't see how losing one's grandfather has anything to do with "not being perfect".Quote:

But sure, losing to ExDeath might be a valid point concerning one's lack of a Mary Sue status.
