What direction do you think SE is takeing with their new characters? Do you think they're trying going in a more realistic direction with characters like Tidus? I think that by making their lead characters look a little wimpy they might be heading that way, and if so, doesnt that also raise a question about the need for realism in FF? Its true that realism needs to be acheived in some aspects, but is it neccissary to make everything real? Its a game, and most people play games to escape reality, so whats the point of trying to make games realer? My last question is, how many people miss characters like cloud, squall, zell, irvine, butz, leonheart, cid (cid highwind) and shadow?
