When I read it, I thought to myself "I wonder what WK would think of this?" well...

Cyric brought up the ending of FFX... I re-played it over my winter break, and watching the ending, especially the part ontop of the farenheit, I honestly felt like crying, my stomach was in knots, it was such a... DAMMIT HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE THIS BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF ART!???

Lord knows how much we've discussed characters, so i'm just gonna say this: different strokes for different folks. I personally liked every one of the characters, I can honestly say I know people in real life like Lulu, or Wakka, and Tidus, and maybe that's why the newer games do it for me, because I can relate to the characters. I'll admit, you brining up that Susan-O whatever story thingy was like finding out Santa Claus isn't real, but I still feel it was an amazing story that gives alot for the player to take out of it.

I also wanted to say, I, too was blown away by Celes trying to commit suicide, but moreso due to the fact that like so many things in VI, it was really ahead of its time, and it's a shock to see a 16 bit game do things like that, like when Draco opens his mouth and begins singing. But she was pretty weak through out, expressing her melancholy consistently in several scenes, beginning with her very introduction, when she tells Locke to leave her there.
Actually I do like the ending to X cause even I'll agree it was well done (in fact until XII, I would have said its the best ending in the series). I just saw it coming so it didn't shock me but I did find it touching. I just wish I could see Yuna as more than a two dimensional cardboard cut-out otherwise that scene would have really been heart wrenching. My issue is that the game has a beautiful opening and a beautiful ending... its the 40 hours in-between that bother me.

Celes perks up once she meets Locke and only goes back to being slightly melancholy when he doubtsa her loyalty. She's definetly too serious (I would say Terra was more melancholic than Celes) Her moments on the Floating Continent shows how strong willed she really is. Watch her go from that, to trying to commit suicide, cause she's lost all hope was just a shock to me.

Overall, I agree that different people like different characters (thinks back to being the only person who defended XII's cast)
