Lightning is the worst character in the history of Final Fantasy

[reinward]

i dont even know where to begin. I just hated everything about her from her looks to her personality and everything in between.

she was an emotionless robot

everytime she opened her mouth i rolled my eyes. she was a cold b*tch.

[Jings]

You've encountered Snow right? And Hope?

[reinward]

she was even more bland than Quistis

>>> That makes the perfect FF main character in my book..

[Rad Bromance]

BUT CLOUD AND SQUALL WERE TOTALLY HEARTFELT AND ENDEARING AND SOOOOOOOO DEEEEEEEEEEEP AMIRITE!?!?!!?!?

She acted WAY closer to what I would do than any other character in the game. After 10 and 12 I was very appreciative to have her as the lead. For me she was probably the best thing in the game. (Plus looking super cool in combat)

FYI, anger is an emotion. And she had tons of that.

[Mo-Nercy]

And her looks are awesome.

Lighting is a badass. She is far better at being a major protagonist than Yuna.

I couldn't agree more!
She isn't even a cold b-word in a cool way. She's just...lame. I didn't find her interesting or like-able at all. I agree, Reinward, in that I also was rolling my eyes every time she said anything. Whoever approved her dialogue should be canned immediately. The scene where Hope makes her have the epiphany that people are pets for the Fal'cie was so laughably juvenile.
And she is not even entertaining to look at. She looks way too thin and her outfit is awkward looking. Her hair is kind of ok aside from a 3/4 view of the left (our left) side of her face- her hair forms this weird bubble atop her head and it just looks dumb. I couldn't stand looking at it. Down with Lightning!

[reinward]

yes, thank you lexy! finally someone agrees with me!

oh and btw way shiny, yuna>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>lightning

I don't think she's great, but I don't mind her. Certainly wouldn't call her the worst character in the history of Final Fantasy. After all, I found Black Belt to be well .

[Elpizo]

So the warriors of light from FF I were better characters than lightning...? Honestly...? Do you seriously expect me to believe that or agree with it...?

Yes, I agree. Tidus was a whiny damsel-in-distress. I just hated everything about her from looks to her whiny personality and everything in between. And every time she opened her mouth I rolled my eyes. "I'm from Zey-ner-kind, right Auuuriiin?" Definitely the worst character in the history of Final Fantasy.

Seriously though, I didn't have problems with Lightning. She's angry and violent at times, but to be frank, most of the playable characters in FFXIII seem to be developed in a relatively similar manner: they're all flawed and go through tragic plot twists at the beginning of the game, and they have their own (usually flawed) ways to deal with the tragedy. However, they all grow during the story. Even Lightning, Hope and Snow. I just came across the Chapter 11 spoilersflower field scene where Snow tells Lightning to talk to Serah's crystallized tear, and I thought that was a very beautiful scene that was showing how the main characters have changed during the game.

I still think Lightning is a lot like the female version of Cloud. At least she's not emo like Squall or whiny like Tidus.

Agreed.

If Yuna didn't have a retarded chicken run and complete Bi Polar change of character from one game to the next, I'd be apt to agree with you on that. At least Lightning is consistent for the most part.
