Unpopular FF opinions you have for each game

[MJN SEIFER]

I'm only doing the ones I can think of unpopular opinions for.

Final Fantasy VII: I like Cait Sith. I find him a fun character, never found him out of place in the game, don't mind him being a traitor, as I feel he mostly made up for it (the kidnapping of Marlene seemed pretty forced to me, like it was all the writers could think of to keep him in the party for that moment), and Slots is one of my favorite techniques in the game - I have barely (if ever) gotten the one that kills you, and I just find it a fun Limit Break to use. Hence, he is often one of my main party members so I can learn Slots as fast as possible, and then keep using it.

Final Fantasy VIII: The Orphanage thing was handled fine, in my opinion. There were enough hints that the characters could have known each other in the past, or at least that they were forgetting something, or that there was more than what we were seeing (I was apparently right about the real reason Irvine couldn't shoot Edea.) I feel that if they had made the hints more obvious, it would have been too obvious, and they work better as hints that you get after you realise they're hints. Like you replay the game, and you're like "Oh, that's what that part meant." or whatever. The only problem is they didn't need to make it because of the GFs, especially as the party keep using GFs after it and nothing happens - I guess they needed to explain why Irvine had more memories than the others.

I don't feel that Squall changed too much too soon, I feel that it was the right amount, and happened in a reasonable time (as much as the game could give you at least - like it had to be sort of quicker than real life, because then they story would be too long.)

I feel that people in the fandom are too harsh on Rinoa during the Odine Bangle scene. It is obvious to me, that she was willing to discuss things with Quistis's team, and plan what they were going to do, and genuinely wanted to help and knew that it wasn't a game.

Final Fantasy IX: I don't find the style "cartoony".

Final Fantasy X: I don't find Tidus whiney at all - I was surprised when I found out that this was a criticism of his character. As I said on the FFX forum, he did complain about things, like not being able to skip to the end of the pilgrimage, but this wasn't his entire character, and there were plenty of times when he seemed like a fun character.
