    FFXIV Character

    Legendary Hero (Sargatanas)

    Default Auron... overrated?

    Ok im going to rant a little, iv seen it all over the place where people make such a big deal and i have to admit i really dont see what the big deal is with Auron, when he was Braska's guardian all he did was moan... kinda like Tidus but unlike Tidus i didn't find him all that usefull in battle.

    Oh and i dont mean to say Tidus is better im just useing him for a reference.

    /rant mode off

    His usefulness in battle depends on how much you have "levelled" your characters, as new party members start with a set route on the grid when you get them. Normally Auron would have the highest Str when he joins. As for later in the game, his Overdrives are a lot less useful than Wakka and Tidus' and Aoens Overdrives. And I guess alot of people like him for being cool and tough. With people I mean emo kids.

    As a character he was my favorite in the game because he was so darn cool.

    During the game he was one of the best in battle because his grid path had a lot of strength and HP up. At the end you can make everybody the same and their overdrive and ultimate weapon is all the differentiates them, and at that point I didn't use Auron all that much.

    Auron was the most tolerable person from the game, character-wise.

    He was too much stereotypical cool silent type for me, I prefered Kihmari as the silent one

    It's amazing how much someone can be called "overrated" and "steriotypical". People throw these words around, and they loose all sense of meaning.

    Auron was a mentally strong character, as well as a physical one, as even when he knew that he was going to die, he kept on going until he managed to find someone to pass the message on. Even in death, he was still keeping that promise to Jecht, even going as far as to use Sin to transport him to Dream Zanarkand to look after that brat, Tidus.

    That's what I call dedication.

    I'm currently replaying X, and he's still my favorite character.

    I just like him because he has lots of flaws, and his flashbacks reveal how he's matured and changed as a person. Not to mention he's one of the more useful characters in battle.

    So no, I don't think he's overrated.

    Auron rocks! He is soo worshiped by all in Spira but he couldnt's give a rats arse about it. All he cares is that he failed his friend Braska. And that he has to help Tidus and Yuna.

    Oh and the shades rule
