What, a chick who relies on kicking people's asses rather than using magic? Hello? Did you miss Tifa? I'd say she's probably one of the strongest female characters ever. She never needs Cloud to save her (Infact it's usually the other way around), plus the one time she really really REALLY needed help was when she'd just ran to the very tip of the cannon after scaling the side of a building. Now that's sassy and a half.
I voted for Female characters.Because I loved Maria from FFII,Loved Rydia from FFIV Loved Celes from FFVI and my new favorite character in FF,Quistis
(Thought I'd make this my first post, though I've been reading the forums for months)
Anyway, I prefer heroines. While some have good reasons to be mages (Aeris, for example), others I think are just made mages because they're girls. Strength wise, I'd like to see more characters like Terra, Quistis, Freya, Tifa, Paine, and Yuffie (I couldn't think of any more right at the moment). The only type of heroines that I really would like to see less of would be Rosa, Rinoa, Garnet, and Yuna (FFX only). All of those were sort of wimpy and always needed saving. Every minute you got of spare time in FF4 was spent saving Rosa from various things. The same with Rinoa. Garnet required less saving, but you still had to save her in (SPOILER) the Alexandria Bahamut scene and the eidolon extraction scene. Yuna's more of a matter of opinion. With the main heroines being so wimpy, it over shadows all of the strong ones (plus the fact that most of the FFs (of the ones I've played) only have 3 playable girls in them). Glad FFX-2 made up for the lack of a strong female cast with girls who could really kick butt. I would also like the girls to be more fully clothed (well, at least a bit more than in FFX-2)...but I guess you can't have everything. :mad:
Maxx Power - perhaps you missed me saying almost at the start that i was talking about the role of a main character, Tifa wasnt the main heroine of FF, yes she was strong and kicked butt, but cloud was the main role.
About being fully clothed, what about the DarkKnight dressphere or the samurai dressphere, even the black mage one was pretty coverd up, as was the white made. FFX-X2 was a coastal tropical world, and most people wear bikini's at the beach, so i felt it was natural for RikkuX2 to don that garb. Yuna was coming out of the closet and wanted to experiment. Besides, armour is very constrictive and slows you down. When i fight i prefer to be free'er, it makes sense the FFgirls would be.
Well, I guess that makes sense, but I prefer more like how Rikku dressed in the first one. It was cute and reflected her personality without being too revealing. I like the fact that Yuna was more free since I really disliked her in FFX. Of course, dressing like that on a snowy mountain is another story, but I guess square didn't feel like making a new form for them just to have in the colder places. But if they ever make a playable main heroine dress like Yunalesca, I will scream. That armored thong and bra was just plain ridiculous.
Yunalesca was dead, i dont think she felt the cold. Think about FF7, they went into the snowhills in the same cloths they wore throughout the game...tifas mini?
i also felt rikkus X look was underdeveloped - Hotpants and goggles
I didn't mean Yunalesca was cold, I meant Rikku, Yuna, and Paine were when they were climbing that mountain in their bikinis and such. As for FFVII, that game is pretty old, so I wouldn't have expected square to try and make different clothes for them to wear on the snowy mountains. FFX-2 had tons of different dresspheres, they could've made one for them to wear on the mountain. This is getting a bit off topic, so I'll just leave it at that.
it's a fantasy, thats why conan and red-sonja always walked around stark naked
i dont mind a heroine wearing nothing but her butt cheeks, as long as she kicks...butt lol
