Character Spotlight: Butz
If Lena can have one of these threads, I think the greatest protagonist in Final Fantasy history deserves one as well.
What do you admire about Butz, Eyes on Final Fantasy? What are his strengths, his weaknesses? His worst moments? His best? Share your opinions. No thought or feeling, no matter how small, is unimportant.
Yeah why doesn't Ramza have a thread yet??

Maybe that's waaay too early in the game to make any judgements, but I do like his...sense of humor!

And his taste in girls!
>>> The guy was a total loner (his best friend was a chocobo), plus he got these 3 hot chicks with him but he never scored with any, and he wasnt very brilliant either.
My conclusion: I love Bartz.
>> The black orb glitters ominously... but nothing happens..
He formed a party with a Princess, a Pirate, and a loli. Dudes my hero.
He's a great guy and works well with bouncing off the rest of the cast for the sake of humor. He's probably my third favorite hero from V behind Galuf and Faris whom I love more. Love him in Dissidia though
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog Where no one notices the contrast of white on white And in between the moon and you, the angels get a better view Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
>>> He didnt formed, the guy got close to these 3 girls just by pure luck..
>> The black orb glitters ominously... but nothing happens..
Damn, you're right. The fact that it happened accidentally is even better.
Bartz is great! No Butz about it!
I thought Bartz was a good, if a little generic character, stereotypical idiot hero. If FFV's was more story focused and the characters went through more character development, he could have been one of the greatest Final Fantasy protaganists - basically one of the few that don't brood most of the time.
I think Squaresoft was like..
"Hmm.. our protagonist is too generic, too dull. What can we do to make him more interesting?"
"Ah, of course! We'll call him Butz!"
Gotta say.. the ridiculous name ruined the entire character for me.
...We could be heroes...
