Zidane

[The Fat Bioware Nerd]

What do you think of Zidane? I don't have a problem with his character but I do have a problem with his main weapon. A dagger is probaby the most pitiful weapon ever created...But other than that I liked Zidane that was pretty damn funny when he accidentally grabbed Garnet's ass! I never laughed so hard at something that was intentionally funny in my life. By the way I was reading the latest issue of Game Informer and the author who wrote the preview of Final Fantasy XII referred to Zidane as a doofus do you agree with that?

I thought Zidane was pretty cool. I liked him much better then Cloud and Squall, who in my opinions were just...well...pretty boys with no character. The "I'm a bad a$$ loner" archetype has just gone down hill since well....always. I liked how Zidane had a real past, and was more then a depressed teenager. And I thought his weapons were pretty cool. Finally a main character in FF who isn't weilding a sword. My only problem was his strongest weapons wern't daggers. :/

[Araciel]

he was ok...bright and sunny to the very end...mostly

[boys from the dwarf]

hes a great character and has a clear personality and he cares about other people and is sorta deep. he has some really cool and funny scenes as well as the great scene in the pandemonium.

[Jimmy Dark Aeons Slayer]

He is a dumb character, weak, and annoying at times just like Garnet.

Quina and Vivi are the true heros!

i thought zidane was a wonderful character, he was funny,strong and always had a plan didnt always quite go right but........

Zidane was classic. I liked everything about him. He was able to make everything seem much more realistic for me. Plus you find out about his hidden past. One of the best main character's I think. But besides that his weapon was awesome. The reason being that a dagger is a good weapon is because of escralami aka kali. A fillipino combat art. If you did it and looked it up you'd understand why Kali/Escralami is good. Not only is it a dagger art, but in general a weapons/fist art. There lol I've said my peace.

I like Zidane. Probably because he is upbeat and doesn't try to do things alone. I mean, when the world's in danger, do you want your leader to be the guy saying "I don't know if we can do this, but I guess we have to..." or the guy saying "After we save the world I'm taking everyone out for drinks on me!!" (okay, he never says that, but you get the point [at least I hope the point is clear]). I didn't mind the daggers (though at some points I had to wonder how feasible they were, I mean, daggers against a sword or pole arm...but it's final fantasy so I just went with it). I liked his double bladed sword weapon type thing I don't know what it's called though (I saw it and immediately thought of Chrono Cross; I don't know if that's good or bad). And yes, I did like that Zidane wasn't afraid to have fun (I'd like Tidus for the same reason if I could stand him). I think Garnet and Vivi were dark and gloomy enough for everyone involved.

Quina and Vivi are the true heros!

He's a very strong, realistic character, strong in battles (his Trance is one of the best in the game) only Steiner beats him with pure psychical attacks (but Steiner has Swords, so...). He wasn't annoying, not at all, people who says such thing probably think CLoud and Squall were the best, most realistic characters ever, or simply don't like him (which is, well, their own good right).

And Garent wasn't annoying either. She was, just like Zidane, realistic when it came to character.

Well Vivi was a good character but I wouldn't call him a hero, it was Zidane (and his desire to find answers) that kept him going.

And Quina... Yeah, blue mage, scary fork, that's were it ends with character.

They have yet to make a FF with a better main character than Zidane. Squall came pretty close for me, but Zidane is just cool, and his thief-swords are orginal and cool. ANd his ultima Weapon looks so...'perfect'.

[Hambone]

Didn't like him. Quina beats.

[Armisael]

Zidane was one of my favs characters! I liked the fact that he was cheery--not that cheery like Tidus-- and so nice to other people!

[vorpal blade]

that was pretty damn funny when he accidentally grabbed Garnet's ass!

What do you maen, "accidentally?" No way in hell that was an accident; it goes against his character. Anyway, I, too, think daggers are oddly weak (but his double-bladed sword-things were cool). The only think about him that I don't like is that he doesn't use his tail much, just in that scene on the cargo ship. He certainly is high-spirited, and that is nice, but I still like Cloud better (screw personality, his swords are friggin' HUGE!).

[Dell]

I liked Zidane. His weapon is very cool (Like Serge in Chrono Cross). Anything about him is great. The only problem he has is he needs to cut his tail because I hate monkey.

Dagger is the best weapon IMO. And even better if it was two dagger.

No actually i don´t like Squall and Cloud is alright to me but there other characters that i prefer over him.

Zidane was a good character to me, and one of the reasons I enjoyed playing IX so much.

I was thinking during a replay if the story writers in VII decided to say that Sephiroth was lying to Cloud in the Whirlwind Maze because the player may have been let down if Cloud really was a clone.

SPOILER!
Zidane, however, really was artificially created and he had to deal with it. He makes a great protagonist because he had a strong sense of morality, and having a Thief as the main character was a great changeup than just having a guy with a cool looking sword.
