    Dancing Chocobo Wakka

    I know a ton of people dislike this guy but frankly I've got to give props to someone who just wants to hurl Blitzballs at Sin.

    What is your opinion of this fellow?

    While I don't think his character progression is as good as other people do/could've been (just someone who was that fanatically religious wouldn't give it up, even if it was staring him in the face), I actually don't hate him. I think he's kind of fun for comic relief, and I LOVE the way he and Tidus bro out. When Tidus and Wakka start hanging out they're like little boys, and it's hilarious.

    I love Wakka. He's probably my favorite character in X.

    It's always between Wakka and Tidus for me, depending on who needs championing the most. They're both far better characters than people give them credit for. Re: Jinx's comments, Wakka is by far the last person to let go of Yevon; I think it happens properly around Grand Maester Mika revealing himself as unsent. Everybody else happily jumps aboard the smurf Yevon train at Yunalesca (or before) so I reckon the peer pressure is high.

    But yes I love Wakka and I love that he's a little Islander influence. Don't see that very often, ya?

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    I like him. His Overdrive is super useful and I like that he has such big balls.

    I think Wakka should have a beard.

    Her name is Lulu.

    JUST KIDDING!

    I think I'm a little bothered by Wakka's fanaticism, ya. Even Yuna, who is A SUMMONER doesn't seem like the type to strap dynamite on herself for the love of Yevon, but Wakka does.

    Playability-wise, Wakka is smurfing awesome. His status attacks are extremely valuable in this game & I do like the backstory re: him & his bro Chappu, ya.

    Praise Yevon.

    Wakka is my bro! I think he's got some of the best character development and he's quite an original party member.

    I love Wakka, he's a big goofball. I also love his gravity defying ginger quiff.

    He uses a lot of product for someone who lives on a tropical island.

    I'm pretty sure Maechen mentions he uses Flan mucus to maintain it

    I think if you were lost and didn't know what to do Wakka would be the one to look after you and be there for you

    I got annoyed with him for clinging to Yevon so much, but Jiro has a good reason in another thread of his on why that is. I think he's a deeper character than most people give him credit for. Plus, he's the voice of Bender, man! And a truck load of other awesome characters!
