Rikku lost her maturity?

rikku was clearly more mature and developed in X2....and she wasnt a kid. what delution is there that your a child from 15 up...maybe the british are just more mature than certain other countrys (ahem).
She was a full grown woman, not a 10 year old, and she proved it by going into combat and saving the world. instead of being a background character that always worried and tried to make things lighter she stepped into the front lines, drew her blades and got dirty, the fact shes a slapper is just part of her personality like Yuna is fridgid. if anyone wasnt grown up or mature it would be paine, hiding from her feelings, unable to become emotional or reveal her true self untill at the end she was forced too. rikku had grown into what and who she was and would be. acceptance and understanding or what you are is a part of maturity.

I think it's funny and fun how she's so childish. ^^

i wouldnt say childish...childish is when you slap girls or chase boys for kisses...when you wont share toys or sulk. shes funloving. comfortable with who and what she is and so she can enjoy herself. it's childish to sulk and pout and not laugh when teh worlds falling about you. :D

In my opinion, I think Rikku is pretty much the same. Her immaturity is natural, because she's in her teens still. The problem I had with her in X-2 though, is that I found her to be a little whiny. I don't recall her whining in FF X, but boy did she whine this time. :rolleyes2

i agree she was whiny, but paine lacked character and yuna was ...ahem.

i wouldnt put it down to age, i was fully grown and mature before i was ten, yet an old school pal is 22 and still hasnt grown up/matured.

What delusion is there? Umm, the law. In Australia you are considered a child until you turn 18, and correct me if i'm wrong, the same applies in Britian.

And I wouldn't exactly call Rikku's behaviour adult...

"Rikku lost her maturity"

How can she lose something she never had? :rolleyes2

actually you are wrong....the legal limit of age change is sixteen in the UK. you can get people pregnant and go and kill in war, but that doesnt define childhood, nor does the law considering it's differnt in every country...heck in zimbabwe kids of 10 are raped or sold into marrige to pruduce children.

at five i made my choice as a human being to become vegetarian and ive stuck by it....at that age i had learned to fight with swords for real and was defeating my fair share of opponants. we stop being children when we loose that sense of innocense

I don't think Rikku changed at all and Jolts remember FFX-2 is 2 years after FFX and she was 15 so it was 15 in FFX and 17 in FFX-2 and I agree Blank she is more relaxed and giggly cuz' she has no life threatening situations (until the end of course, I bet she gets a little more serious, don't tell me) except for the occasional fiend attack but they are all capable of taking out fiends.

Dude!!!! Rikku, I hate her!!!! She never had maturity.

From the moment she first enetered the game she sucked.

Okay. sorry, I stand corrected. You are considered an adult at 16 in the UK. However, it is awful what some children in the world are put through, like being sent to war or child prostitution, but they are still children. Just because they may have an awful childhood doesn't mean they are not still kids.

You also say that we stop being children when we lose that sence of innocence, well Rikku hasn't lost hers, which in your book should still define her as a child. :)

i dont think you need to get way into when people in the real world are considered adult by law. you say rikku is more adult in X-2 but the only adult things i see is the part where her and gippal or whatever his name is had a relationship. i loved that part. but anyway - she fought battles in X just as much in X-2. i dont mean to be concieted but i like my explanation best, she's been the same all along through X and X-2. she just had to be way more freakin serious in X because of the ongoing life and death paranoia. and she even had racial arguments with people. she was only 15 and she had to deal with that. in X-2 people are lightened up about beliefs. in X-2 it's more like everyone is people, and then theres the new yevon people (losers). i think you should keep in mind video game characters dont go as deep as real humans. a 'character' is just that. it is what it is and doesn't change. unless there's a sequal..haha. but even then it's only 2 years worth of a video gams worth of change. not as much as a real persons growing up. so rikku is 2 years older and lightened up. the end. if you dont like her in X-2 then you just dont like her because that's the person her character has become.
