Thread: Main Character

  1. #1

    Default Main Character

    Do you guys ever wonder why Square made Zidane the main character in Final Fantasy IX? I mean the game's storyline doesn't even focus on Monkey Bones until the third or fourth disc.:

    Zidane: Nope. Zidane was calling the shots throughout the game, that's why. Just because the story focuses on you doesn't mean you're the lead character, the lead character show leader-...wait I'm contradicting Cloud and Squall, never mind.

    If not Zidane, then who? Vivi lacks charisma despite going on his journey of self discovery, Garnet becomes almost useless in Disc 3, Steiner and Freya aren't in a lot of Disc 2, Eiko and Amarant only turn up near the end of Disc 2 and Quina isn't the most inspiring either.

    Zidane is in (almost) every single bit of the game and he guides the team throughout the entirety of the game. Hell, without him, they would've gotten stuck in the Ice Cavern. That would suck.

    Zidane: He also keeps the team sane. He tries to keep everyone calm so they don't just rush into trouble.

    Easy. They had a vote and everyone voted for themselves with two hands. However since Zidane has a tail he just held it up and counted for three. The system works.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    Nah, they picked him because he'd be the most fun. He's 16. That equals horny stoner. Tada! I mean, Ice Cavern Waltz: didn't exist. While everyone was having a rest with the moogle, Zidane did a little...thing, and imagined it all. Kids these days, eh?

    Zidane is the main character because he gets the job done. Vivi is too scared, Garnet is too royal, Steiner is too clumsy, Amarant is too arogant, Quina might be able to do it if there's no food around, Eiko is too innocent, Freija is too depressed and Beatrix is too vain.

    I agree too that Zidane is the main protagonist of FFIX but I can't help but notice that most of the FMVs in the game are focused dominantly on Garnet...
    Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand.

    Just imagine what the game would be like if Quina was the main character. Oh, and this.......

    Because he is. Really, nothing more than that.

    And duh, the startling revelation you should've seen coming always happens near the end of the story!

    Hah! Brilliant.

    Zidane is what brings them all together. He is sort of the focus of the party. Plus, he has a tail.

    Kinda like Locke and Terra. But that's off-topicity
