She is pretty awesome. I'm glad she turned out to be a good guy
Good hardly covers it. Freaking awesome would be better.
I love Beatrix. Badass warrior woman with magnificently volumous hair? Love it.
The eye-patch really did it for me. And her theme song! *HEART*
Top notch. Great theme song, too.
Edit: Great minds, Mo.
A stupid and overrated character that stupidly followed Brahne's orders.
I still can't believe that the game makes her go 3-0 against your party and that there's nothing you can do about it or get revenge on her.
As an ally, she isn't that great either because she runs out of MP really quickly.
And her theme song sounds way too similar to a certain FFX song that I can't remember at the moment.

So wouldn't it be a X song sounds too much like hers since hers came first?
I liked her cause she was a badass female character and normally they make female characters magic users. Wasn't until more recent games that you got the sword wielding female.
Yeah it's just that I like the FFX song more for some reason.So wouldn't it be a X song sounds too much like hers since hers came first?
I really would have liked to have had her join the party instead of Amarant. She is just so much cooler. And "Rose of May" is one of my favorite FF songs ever.

Beatrix acts like an idiot for half of the game because she's a loyal soldier. She's blind to the fact her Queen is a ho, but then she realises her wrongs and fights the good fight. I'm glad she didn't join the party, not because I dislike her, but because I felt she played her part well how it was.
I think that even her change of heart was a really sloppy transition.
Brahne: Durr Imma kill Garnet now that I have her Eidolons
Beatrix: What?
Brahne: You heard me! Shut up and go find the last jewel!
Beatrix: Yes, your majesty...
Five minutes later:
Beatrix: I'll kill all enemies of Alexandria! Never step on to this land again. Your powers are useless against me.
*sees Garnet*
Beatrix: Oh my god, she was really going to kill Garnet. Oh yeah and sorry for the genocide in Burmecia as well.
Way to over-simplify there. She's already having doubts before that last exchange, and seeing Garnet is simply what confirms them.Originally Posted by PuPu
As someone said, Beatrix (like Steiner) is daft because she's a soldier who follows orders and thinks this is the best way to do things. Both of them break out of this during the game.
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
She may have had doubts, but it's not uncommon for soldiers to have doubts about their actions. What she and every other soldier have in common though, is that they still stupidly follow orders.
The fact that she needed to see Garnet to have a change of heart after her boss specifically told her that she was going to kill Garnet 5 minutes ago proves my point as to how stupid she is.
The fact that seeing Garnet unconscious somehow made her suddenly think: "genocide is bad" is also...bleh.
I don't think her progression was unrealistic. For a start, she probably didn't really believe what Brahne said in anger as being genuine. Her loyalty blinded her from reason - until the evidence was undeniable, and that would be expected considering her position.
The reason Garnet's unconciousness caused that effect was because up until then there was always a way (albeit unconvincing) to justify Brahne's actions. But when these actions extended to Garnet - someone who she knew, it become patent that her reasons for genocide were pure fabrications. She knew first hand of the innocence of Garnet, and so the actions taken against her could only be condemned.The fact that seeing Garnet unconscious somehow made her suddenly think: "genocide is bad" is also...bleh.
"They said this day would never come. They said our sights were set too high. They said this country was too divided, too disillusioned to ever come around a common purpose. But on this January night, at this defining moment in history, you have done what the cynics said we couldn't do." - Barack Obama.

I love how she's actually got two themes, one for when she's bad and one for when she's good.
I can't remeber the name of the theme when she's bad, but "loss of me" is her good theme.
