Let's discuss why Ashe is the best female character ever...

[Aulayna]

Sure she might have a short skirt, but still manages to look regal. She doesn't depend on anyone to get trout done, is part of an unground resistance operation, took part in faking her own death - and did all of this whilst greiving for her KIA newly-wed husband. That's seriously one can of awesome.

(plus we also share similar names, maybe I should deed pool to be Ashelia too!)

[DMKA]

She cries over her dead husband constantly instead of moving on. The way God intended.

[TrollHunter]

Ummm... I hope youre kidding
She mourns, but shes also not very blatant about it, and shes still a strong leader even with those emotional issues.

Hell, if she was a guy and her wife was killed you can be damn sure hed be mourning for most of the mission

And also, she does eventually move on too

[maybee]

Best female character in the Final Fantasy series ? Not even close. She's way too emotional.

Hell, if she was a guy and her wife was killed you can be damn sure hed be mourning for most of the mission

No because the Final Fantasy fandom would be picking on him and calling him a gay looser. * Edward FF IV COUGH *

[Aulayna]

I'm sorry would you not be slightly emotional if your newly-wed husband got killed in a war along with all your brothers and your farther was assassinated by seemingly your own people whilst brokering a peace deal? All of this before you even turned 18.

Just like they did with Cid Highwind in FFVII rig... oh wait.

[Quindiana Jones]

I'm with maybee. I prefer my characters to be complete without realistic and believeable personalities and character development.

[Loony BoB]

I'm assuming that's sarcasm, Quin? xD

Just like they did with Cid Highwind in FFVII rig... oh wait.

I'm guessing you mean Vincent Valentine? I didn't ever see Cid Highwind mourning a wife. :S

Despite this, I definitely agree with you regarding Ashe. While I still prefer Tifa, I do think she was a very deserving winner of Best Female in the FF Ciddies.

You're forgetting that there's female characters out there who have gone through so much worse and deal with their pain and trauma so much better than Ashe. Tifa, Aerith, Terra, Celes, Beatrix, Selphie, Dagger, Yuna...

I think you mean Vincent Valentine.

Which yes gets called a emo, fag, gothic looser, vampire, "listens to Linkin Park " and more.

Again, I don't really get how you see Ashe as some kind of overly emotional being. She's actually very good at keeping her emotions under control.

You do realize that she totally went up and slapped Basch in the face right ?

[CimminyCricket]

She seemed to be to be a very emotionally strong woman. She knew exactly what she wanted, how to get it and didn't beg anyone to help her. She never once used her feminine charms on any of the characters, which was super nice.

[NeoCracker]

I'm assuming that's sarcasm, Quin? xD

I like to go into everything under the assumption everything Quin says is legit. Makes threads so much funner.

[Loony BoB]

[QUOTE=maybee;3213180]So? I'm very good at keeping my emotions under control, too. But that doesn't mean that if someone that I had every reason to believe killed my father walked up to my face that I wouldn't try to do them some damage.

If her emotions were out of control, she would try to kill him, not slap him.

Yes it was so terrible what Beatrix had to go through. Slaughtering those edefensless rat people was very, very traumatizing for her.

And nobody in FFVIII is an example good anything except Seifer. Selphie is as badly written as everyone else.

Also Tifa helped Barret and them start blowing Shinra stuff up as a way of revenge so she is in no way better than Ashe who also wanted to blow up her enemies.

Actually, that just showa how in control she is. Thats a very mild reaction compared to what a lot of people would have done
Case in point: vaan trying to kill basch
