Zidane > Squall & Cloud

[Lynx]

And where on earth is Tidus in all this? Tidus is just Zidane without the mental breakdown when he finds out about himself. In fact, he just got up and smiled and kept going and bottled it inside. By your standards, Tidus > Zidane. Although Yuna was the leader and not Tidus in my opinion anyway.

Well, no one really likes Tidus. .

Tidus was made for nothing at all.

Zidane and Tidus have nothing in common.

Actually, I am debating. With facts. Nothing I've said is wrong or un-supported

one i liked tidus he seemed more real then any other character.

two tidus was made to defeat sin.

three zidane and tidus personality were quite similar they both seemed like fun loveing guys.

and for the last thing well thats just not true at all.

back on topic.

i agree zidane is an awesome ff character and way to underated. people base him off the way he looks and dresses. i mean come on he pulled it off in the game pretty well he acted in the sense that when he was around no one had to worry because he would figure a way to save them no matter what. i mean yeah the characters didnt really catch on to that but you can definatly see how he's always so calm about everyhting because he knows he can get things done. plus he had the coolest weapon.

as for cloud. the reason he was the leader is because of his strength. also for so long as far as everyone knew he was a an ex sodlier. sinc ethere enemy was shinra and sephiroth he wa sput in charge because he has the most experience with them. lets see he was once in shinra and he killed the legendary sephiroth. hell id follow that guy anywhere because he's deefinatly not going to lose.

now for squall. he was mainly followed because of his strength. i wouldnt say he had a lot of leadership qualitys.but everyone else on the team didnt have any. quists maybe but she seemed to kind hearted to be a leader. i mean she coudl have whipped everyone but idk something tells me irvine would have liked that. so really out of those 6 i would have chosen squall to lead me into battle.

tidus was only really the leader during the seymour seen and from about yunalesca and on. the rest of the game yuna was the leader and tidus was along for the ride for the joy of hitting on yuna

the whole damn ff9 is underrated. i swear if ff9 was released around the time ff7 and ff8 were released it would have been real popular. its just that ps2 came right after ff9 was released and nobody cared about ps1 games no more. they just skipped over ff9 and went straight to ff10

Cloud's a different story. I'm not sure what was meant when the threadstarter said Sephiroth moved out of the way. Cloud was impaled by Sephiroth... and when it looked like it was all over he lifted the "legendary soldier" and hurled him into the depths of the Mako Reactor. Cloud's will was stronger than Sephiroth's. That's what drives the storyline.

You don't know what a retcon is, do you? It means new material is taken as canon while all previous material is no longer what happened. Last Order retconed that scene. The "official" word now is that Seph jumped into the Reactor.

1. Firstly, I didn't even know that they did that with "Last Order"
2. No, I didn't know what a retcon was.
3. That's really lame that they did that
4. I think Square is losing their touch with reality.

In my opinion, Zidane is a better character than both of them, but Squall is a better leader. Like Bolivar said:
"But Squall was a soldier, and nothing more because he didn't want to get his mind involved in different things. He didn't care about anyone's feelings, he only knew the mission and how to get the job done. This is the type of person you want commanding you if you were ever to go to war. So although he may not have been the best main character, he was a great leader."
Squall was very professional, and i liked this.

that's basically what I was saying, he asked who was a better leader of the three, and by far, I think Squall is.

Zidane has a tail. 'Nuff said.

Also, he is a strong leader, and he doesn't take himself too seiriously.

Zidane>Cloudia>Squall>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Tidus

I'm using my magic psychic powers to say that Vaan will probably come between Cloud and Squall on my list. Anyway, that's my opinion. Zidane pwns all!

[Aurons_Desciple]

I don't think he is better than Cloud/Squall but i do like him, he was one of few FF main characters not to be constantly depressed, he was actully cheerful, which was good to see

[Dynast-Kid]

Zidane>Cloudia>Squall>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Tidus!

[Dell]

Cecil>Zidane>Bartz>Vaan>Locke/Terra>Cloud>Squall>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Tidus>Yuna!

Fixxxxxxxed.

Squall Cloud and Zidane...they all shown thier characteristic and they have good leadership...except for Cloud...Squall and Cloud is the cool type guy and Zidane is the keep minding people's bussines type guy...he is talkative too..which hardly have in FF games except for Tidus he to is kinda talkative and straight forward.Thier love in the storyline is kinda same apart from which Squall's love story is same as CLoud's...This is just myu opinion anyway...

[scrumpleberry]

If we're including older characters...

Terra>Zidane>Cecilia>Cloudia>Bartz/Butz/Barts>Squall>Firion/Frionel>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Tidus

(I dunno about 3's new main...)

My magic psychic powers determine that Vaan will probably be between Cloud and Bartz,
but possibly between Cloud and Cecil.
