    This brings us another question: When is it okay to cry?

    Eh, it's not the "badass hero stereotype" that I want in a game necessarily. I mean, there are ways for a character to be sad, emotionally wrecked, upset, devastated... without sniveling, and going, "Heeyy... awwww... whaaat?" Human beings are capable of this range of emotion without reaching the sniveling stage.

    It's like they went in the complete opposite direction. Either the hero could be serious/jerk-ish and take-charge, or, alll the way on the opposite end where Tidus is, inquisitive and acting like a straggling 13 year old cousin who can only show his emotions by crying or shouting.

    Like I said before, I find Zidane a better example of a cheery hero.

    Were they trying for the "parody" like Ultimate Muscle's whining Kid Muscle? lol

    I have kind of an aging complex, so I liked Tidus for being a dorky teenager. I've always tried to get the scenes with Rikku seeing as she's the same sort.

    What really annoyed me was the romance with Yuna. With Yuna under the stress of her pilgrimage and Tidus feeling lost and both of them being teenagers, I couldn't take it seriously. Am I the only one who felt that all that effort in FFX-2 would go to waste when they inevitably get tired of eachother really quick?

    *Copy pasted from a thread in FFXIII*

    I keep wondering why so many people turn a blind eye to the fact that character weaknesses were made as a literary tool called "Character Development."

    I remember during the FFX days people were bitching about how Tidus is a whiny crybaby with an irritating voice. All they ever mentioned was how selfish and weak he was. But they never mentioned how much he changed from an egoistic athlete to a selfless hero who was willing to give himself up for Yuna and Spira. From how he he was able to overcome his hatred towards his dad and made up with him (parental issues which are so much common among teenagers these days). That in my opinion has got to be one of the best forms of character development I've seen. Plus they also never mentioned that his voice sounded brusque and mature whenever he's narrating.

    And Tidus is only 17. He's a teenager. Anyone his age would react that way if they were thrown into a completely different world wherein his dad is the one responsible for mass homicide. And if at times he acted like an idiot then which real-life person didn't become an idiot some time during their teenage years?

    And I grow tired of this social stigma of men not supposed to cry. Crying is part of human nature and emotion. In fact it is human regardless of gender, age and race. Tears coming to a man easily doesn't make him any less of a man.

    Still has an annoying voice though, those short -ok sounding- narrations dont make up for it

    But i dont hate him for any reason other than his voice. I dont even think he's really that whiny, I just think his voice makes statements that arent whiny sound whiny

    Also for anyone who asks "where did he learn to use a sword"
    He's already a strong athlete, if you give a metal baseball bat to someone who has never held one they'll still be able to do some damage with it, a sword is like a baseball bat only pointy. Notice how he sorta just whacks things with it and doesnt do as much damage as Auron.

    I never really hated Tidus. There were maybe one or two things that he annoyed me with, but I never hated him as a character, gameplay-wise and personality wise. In fact, I enjoyed using him in battle.

    Vaan - "Hey, you!"
    Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
    Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
    Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
    Fran - "....We could help...."
    Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
    Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
    Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

    If Tidus can throw and kick a ball underwater with marvelous force then perhaps wielding a sword would be relatively easier. He can even hold his breath underwater for, say, forever!

    Off topic for a bit: What I don't understand though is Wakka wasn't able to win a single tournament prior to Tidus's arrival yet he can throw a Blitzball hard enough to damage fiends.
