Thread: anyone else think Vivi is wayyyy overrated?

  1. #1

    Default anyone else think Vivi is wayyyy overrated?

    i mean, i love this game, it is my joint favorite along with FFX (ive played VII, VIII, IX, X, XII, and XIII), but i dont get all the hype about Vivi

    Garnet, Steiner, and Zidane are probably my 3 favorite FF characters out of all the games. I even liked Eiko more than Vivi. dont get me wrong Vivi was alright (better than Freya, Quina, and Amarant IMO), but yeah...who else thinks Vivi is overrated?

    Yeah I think he is a little over rated. He is just a classical black mage to me, nothing more. Freya, Steiner, Eiko, Garnet, Quina all had better abilities. This is just my opinion and no I'm not a kingdom heart/FFVIII fan boy so :P

    I dunno why. I think he's adorable and the way he walks reminds me of of my English Bull's walk when she has to take a crap. So cute.

    Alright in what way?

    He's got a really good plotline, is charming from beginning to end and brings a lot to FFIX's otherwise half-assed story. He's also a short, stout black mage with bright yellow eyes and a big floppy hat. There is absolutely nothing to not like about him.

    I've always liked him, and he is a good addition to the game. He's thoughtful, and he's actually got a likeable personality. I never thought of him as over-rated, but rather as a nice addition to the rest of the cast. I'll admit it. He actually moved me quite a lot the first time I played through the game.

    Also, he's cute as a button.

    Being overated is so underated.

    As for Vivi... well Square plainly wanted him to be liked - he's even named after the Final Fantasy Series!

    No. Vivi is a man among men.

    Vivi is my favorite character.

    Did you not see how he blew up the Black Waltz III? 110% awesomesauce.

    Vivi was one of the high points I enjoyed from IX. He had an adorable personality and dealt with issues that are very relatable. Definitely not overrated.

    Vivi is cool. I liked Vivi. Still not crazy about IX though. (*Cue destruction from this forum*)

    Not noticed if he is. Been years since I played this game and gonna start it back up tonight. I'll keep a close eye on Vivi's trickery and overratedness though.

    cute looking, good in battle, and brings up good philosophical questions. What's not to like?
