This game is a joke

[Slothy]

Tidus started out a little whiny (for about five minutes to be honest. There are few times he complains about anything besides the fact that Yuna is expected to die to save the world. A valid complaint if you ask me), but by the end of the game he had matured as a character and really grew into the role of a hero willing to die to save the world and the people he cared about. His growth was natural and logical as he was affected by the events around him.

I hope you felt dirty after dropping that massive load onto the interbutts. Tidus does not develop at all. He's still the whiny spoiled child he at the end as he was at the start of the game, the only difference is the volume of cutscene (not gameplay, we already clarified there basically is none) hours is massive enough to make people like you learn to love him. Anyone who thinks he's "mature" obviously has never taken the time to learn the meaning of the word.

I stated my reasons for feeling he matured as a character. The thing is, I think most reasonable people who actually played the game would probably agree. You however have provided no evidence in support of your opinion that he never grows as a character. Instead you simply whine about how much he sucked while providing no facts from the game. The character of Tidus showed more maturity in the first 20 minutes of gameplay than you have in this thread so far.

To deal with one of yr obvious mistakes though. Wakka to begin with is prejudiced against Al Bhed. Whether cos he's racist or against machina doesn't matter, its wrong. But he learns during the journey that Al Bhed aren't the real enemy, and that its Yevon that's corrupt and hypocritical. He even apologises to Cid for his previous ignorance. So he's not just a stupid "redneck", is he?

Right. The same way a KKK guy "apologises" to Al Sharpton. Nobody magically unlearns prejudice - it sticks with you until you die - and if you want to argue that Wakka somehow did, you immediately concede that he is an unrealistic character as well as just a badly written character and a filthy scumbag racist.

This just shows how utterly ignorant you are. It's easy for people to remain ignorant bigots until they see the suffering it causes from the other side as Wakka did. Some people stay racists for life, but not everyone can when faced with the things Wakka saw through the course of the game (such as when the Al Bhed Home was attacked and people were being indiscrimanently killed).

Your posts only continue to demonstrate that you're incapable of backing up your complaints about the game with examples. Frankly, unless you can start discussing the game in a mature manner then I'm done talking about it with you in this thread. I see no reason to continue if you're incapable of showing the same respect to your fellow forum goers as I have to you so far.
