    Dancing Chocobo Wakka is the best character, discuss

    He has the best hair and kills people by throwing blitzballs at their head.

    Confirmed for best character.

    But there's nothing to discuss. It's just the truth.

    But he uses a blitzball as a weapon!

    That's almost as ridiculous as a doll, or a flute, or a megaphone, or a fork, or

    He was named by Pac-Man; there's no way he's not the best.

    As an author, I'm kind of surprised you think he's such a good character.

    John DiMaggio does his voice so that's awesome by default and by the end he becomes tolerant to other cultures! Yay for progress! I still don't use him unless I have to though.

    I'm having trouble seeing how he's not.

    He's "tropey", in a good way, and good tropes make good characters.

    Author in identifying good character and characterization shocker!

    He's a very poorly written, over-the-top character. There's no subtlety in his personality, nor in his development.

    did we play the same game? xD I don't see any of what you mentioned in his character. I'm replaying the game right now and even years later I don't see any of that.

    Edit: also, nothing wrong with a lack of subtlety in a character

    His immediate presentation is bombastic and forward, sure, but his character actually has many layers and his development is some of the best I've seen in games, because (despite Laddy's protestations otherwise) you are shown, not told, how and why it takes place. Yes, Seymour's statements at Mushroom Rock Road are blatant (though he could hardly say beforehand "Oh yeah this isn't going to work we're just doing it to screw over the Al Bhed") but if you pay attention to what he does, what he says, and how he acts, Wakka's development is superbly handled.

    Yes, Wakka is in fact the best character, and he has the best development. He's also the sexiest.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    Yuck.

    Wakka is one of my least favourite characters in Final Fantasy ever. Cait Sith at least has that cuteness of being a robotic Cat- Toy.

    Wakka is just a racist.
