I agree with Kenshin IV about squall. This is only my opinion, and I've only played the game for 8 hours, so I cant really say. He blows everything off untuil the last second when he jumps in to save the day. At the end, however, he gets better. I know this because i've seen the eniter game played before my eyes because my best friend beat it a couple of times. As for zidane being a sucky hero, I liked him. He was the first hero that wasnt a huge sword -flinging macho man with an "I'm gonna blow you off" attitude. He was a charachter with a comic side, not a charachter with a need for psychotherapy. As for being weak, Zidane has just as much power as Cloud or Squall. If anything, he's a better charachter in my opinion because he had individual skills that nobody else could have. Squall and Cloud could be leveled up in a way that you have 3 juggernaughts on the screen simontaniously and that just isnt any fun. Plus the fact that he was the first non-human charachter. He had individual features, and didnt dress in chains and armor with dark leather. He on the other hand, was dressed like a theif/pirate, which in my opinion is quite cool. This is just my opinion. Feel free to disagree.

Ps. the reason we called you a nOOb is because your acting like one. You pull out all the bad things in a game instead of looking at the good points. I could sit here and bash FF7 for hours upon end but it wouldnt change your views on it. Besides, some nOObs are really cool. Its not nececarily a bad thing, moreover, just a mind set.
