Am I the only person who feels Krile is a Mary Sue?
I mean come on! She's a princess, has magic without the jobs, owns a Wind Drake and a Moogle, can communicate with animals, saves the party countless times, overshadows any unique traits Lenna has, is more gung-ho and gutsy than Faris, is universally loved by the whole playable cast, and often leads the party after Galuf is gone. I can't be the only one who noticed this.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
Yeah, I never took FF V seriously enough Story wise to be that bothered by this.
Yeah, but her sprites look stupid.
>>Am willing to change opinions based on data<<
That's very true, now that I think about it. I need to play FFV again, though now this will likely bug me.
Uhm, no. Not really.
She gets tortured by Ex- Death within a ball of flames, she looses her Grandpa there's no mentioning of her parents and she doesn't win over Bartz and she's too young for that.
So no.
I thought that she was really brave sticking to Ex-Death like that and she does screw up. If she was a Mary- Sue she would of damaged Ex-Death severally or even killed him and she didn't.
Faris and Lenna are Princesses too.
Creepy more like it !Originally Posted by VeloZer0
She was stareing right at you !
Being victimized does not diminish one's Mary Sue status.
She is a Mary Sue. But I do love her white mage sprite.
But Mary Sue means that one is perfect right ? Screwing up, loosing your Grandfather and loosing your parents is not perfect.
No, its not just being perfect its also about overshadowing and being more special than the rest of the characters, it can mean different things and often writers will give Sue's traumatic events and backstories because they bring focus back to them.

I can't see how losing one's grandfather has anything to do with "not being perfect".But Mary Sue means that one is perfect right ? Screwing up, loosing your Grandfather and loosing your parents is not perfect.
That almost implies that a perfect person should be able to keep everyone and everything that (s)he cares for alive for eternity, which is obviously absurd.
But sure, losing to ExDeath might be a valid point concerning one's lack of a Mary Sue status.
