Thread: lead characters?

  1. #1

    Default lead characters?

    on the last couple of games square has made the main character for me haven’t been good enough. If you think of 7 and 8 both Cloud and Squall were great lead characters and fighters you cant really say that about Tidus and Vaan. I think on the next game they should make the main character a real man what does everyone else think?

    First of all, it has been stated by SE that Vaan is NOT the main character of FFXII.
    Secondly, Tidus fitted really well into his story. Changing him would make the whole plot almost pointless. The way he develops is astounding...
    What exactly aren't you satisfied with?

    The main doesn't always have to be some macho guy, or even a badass.
    Tidus was actually quite good, and supplied the goods in battle. I just didn't like his voice. Vaan isn't a lead, so get your facts straight, and he's alright. Why does the next FF need a man? Why can't the next protagonist be female, huh? Answer that.

    Hmm...I think every character in any game is the way they are for reasons. A character that's out of place makes a pointless game. I have come across game like that. But, so far, none of which is ant FF game. Now they maybe be other FF storyline better than others, But none has flaws as to where the character spoils the whole game. Not yet at least...

    I'm against FF's that focus on a "main character" cause 9 out of 10 times, I generally dislike them and prefer other members of the party but they never get to see the light of day in character development due to not being the main character.

    I prefer unfocused groups where everyone gets alittle bit of the spotlight like the older games. I especially like this type of developement cause it's pretty rare in JRPGs and is usually done pretty well.

    I've liked almost all the main characters, as they're what make the game tick.
    Please feel free to read my take on the official novalisation of Dissidia Final Fantasy at this link:

    Cecil was a very good main character, and he certainly kept the game ticking. I liked his dynamic change from Dark to light.

    Because FF X-2 Blew balls, though all the characters were female, so that could have been an extra kick.

    I think a main has to be a male, it brings masculinity to the group, I wouldn't mind seeing a male and female be duel leads but a male has to be up there somewhere.

    Well for FF VI, the "main characters" were Terra and Celes. They were both female, and VI was a great game.

    If you havea Game Boy Advance, get it for that. It will be difficult to find it otherwise. on the Playstation, it is known as Final Fantasy Anthologies along with FFV. On th SNES, it is FF III.

    Yes, we can never have a female lead ever again, because one game who featured a female lead wasn't too well received. Every female lead in the history of gaming is exactly the same, remember.

    haha, couldn't have said it better myself

    no, maybe I was out of line there, but I do feel that most games need a male lead, maybe because I'm a male, but I'd rather just play it that way
