Am I the only one who loves Rin?

Whenever I mention Rin, people tend to start talking about Maechen instead.
Yes, I know that Maechen rocks all the socks in the world, and I know he's got a very entertaining way of talking; but what about Rin?
Why does nobody ever mention him?

Personally, I think he's the coolest Al Bhed character in the whole game: I like how he's always completely relaxed, and I also find his voice really nice.
Once I get the airship, I always talk to him a few times just to hear the "May I help you?" and the "Thank you.". :D

yeh rin was pretty cool. if i keep all the besaid aurochs in my blitz team i tend to recruit rin as the final person, just because he's wearing a yellow and blue outfit :D

He's an ok character I guess, though I don't think much of him, good or bad.

I like Rin a lot, but merchants rarely get much respect in RPGs; they tend to be perceived as mercenary (even the scrupulous ones).

For some reason his voice actor reminds me of George Takei.

I didn't like him!I thought he was kinda "slick"...
I hated it when he tried to sell me stuff when Evrae attacked the airship.I mean wth,he was in it too!!:confused:
Anyway,i liked o'aka more!

He's voiced by the same guy as Spongebob :bigsmile:

I thought he was a bit smarmy, i.e a typical merchant. Interesting, though, that he seemed to be the only Al Bhed, apart from Rikku's family, who didn't always hide behind his goggles. (They were pushed up).

:choc::choc::choc:

Characters who hide their eyes all the time are harder to relate to, so the characters we are meant to like and trust have their eyes exposed.

Interestingly because of the Al Bhed penchant for goggles, their green eyes with swirling pupils are not a widely recognized trait of their people. Lulu and Yuna are in the know, for obvious reasons. Poor Tidus and Wakka are oblivious as usual.

Rin never had anything I wanted to buy. I liked O'aka better

Of course they both pale in comparison to the dancing merchant in the Secret of mana series

I want Brother, Rin, and Wedge on my Blitzball team. They would be so great.

How about Maechen, though? Now there was a cute old man.

Agreed in full, especially that smooth Sulu suaveness.

Yeah, he was wasn't he?

Rin was alright, I guess. I didn't really find him that astounding and if I'm to be honest I also prefer O'aka because he was quite funny.

"thankfully my goods were spared" :D

I didn't like Rin. I didn't like Maechen.

That's kind of ironic: Tidus is voiced by the same guy as Wooldoor Sockbat from Drawn Together. (Wooldoor's a spongebob parody)

Rin is awesome...

Wakka: We gotta pay? If we die, you die too!
Rin: I have faith in your victory.
Wakka: Thanks a lot...

Thanks. I never noticed that 'til you mentioned it, and now I'm never going to get that comparison out of my head.

Rin was very nice in X and a smarmy asshole in X2

I love rich ppl in general. Actually, I love his money more than the person. I hope he dies and I could inherit his fortune. :bigsmile:

Yess, he knew how to hustle :lol:
