one i liked tidus he seemed more real then any other character.
two tidus was made to defeat sin.
three zidane and tidus personality were quite similar they both seemed like fun loveing guys.
and for the last thing well thats just not true at all.
back on topic.
i agree zidane is an awesome ff character and way to underated. people base him off the way he looks and dresses. i mean come on he pulled it off in the game pretty well:D he acted in the sense that when he was around no one had to worry because he would figure a way to save them no matter what. i mean yeah the characters didnt really catch on to that but you can definatly see how he's always so calm about everyhting because he knows he can get things done. plus he had the coolest weapon.
as for cloud. the reason he was the leader is because of his strength. also for so long as far as everyone knew he was a an ex sodlier. sinc ethere enemy was shinra and sephiroth he wa sput in charge because he has the most experience with them. lets see he was once in shinra and he killed the legendary sephiroth. hell id follow that guy anywhere because he's deefinatly not going to lose.
now for squall. he was mainly followed because of his strength. i wouldnt say he had a lot of leadership qualitys.but everyone else on the team didnt have any. quists maybe but she seemed to kind hearted to be a leader. i mean she coudl have whipped everyone but idk something tells me irvine would have liked that. so really out of those 6 i would have chosen squall to lead me into battle.
tidus was only really the leader during the seymour seen and from about yunalesca and on. the rest of the game yuna was the leader and tidus was along for the ride for the joy of hitting on yuna ;)
