The FFs: One Positive, One Negative

[Wolf Kanno]

FFV
+ Favorite version of the job class system
- Krile is kind of a Mary Sue.


FFX
+ Auron and Jecht are fun and interesting characters.
- The most asinine plot twist in the series.

Mary Sue?

And i never thought id see the word asinine on a social networking site

Krile is a princess - like Fairs and Lenna
Related to one of the dawn warriors - like Bartz
saves the party in cutscenes a few times and her only time to fail is so Galuf can die so she can take his place.
Can communicate with animals because she's gifted.
Every character loves her and she's never made the but of a joke but quick to make them.
Galuf's death serves more of a purpose to make the player sympathize as opposed to being a character development moment.
Is the default narrator for the game's ending and is largely the focus of it if she survives the final battle.

She frankly has too many positives and her few negative elements serve the purpose of getting her to join the party. She also overshadows Faris and Lenna once she joins with most of the story focus being on her and Bartz. She's not a bad character and there are worse in gaming in general, but for a game that really needed to flesh out its cast, the title gives too much time on the character with little depth.
