Why do I keep adding too many poll options?
Out of all the FF2 characters whose personality do you think developed the least?
Maria, I guess.
I mean, who the heck is Maria?
Everything we know about her is backstory, that's IT!
At least Minh is willing to die for a cause, Scott was going to get married, Gus can talk to animals, and I think Frionel has to face off against the temptations of a sexy seductive snake-chick.
Maria does nothing.
She has a cheap bow in the beginning, but everybody has cheap weapons, so it isn't like anything about her is unique at all. (esp. Layla carries an initial Bow too)
At least Maria had to deal with her brother being a shill for the Empire. And having the ability to talk to animals doesn't count as character development.
He said "developed" the least.
Like I said, all maria's story is backstory. You only learn that by reading manuals or histories outside of the game. It's irrelevant as far as "Character Development" is concerned.
Nobody knew that Guy could talk to animals. Suddenly, it turns out that he's so dumb he can communicate on their level. That's character dvelopment. Looking at maria and understanding her past is the exact opposite.
From Guy's profile in the FFII manual:He possesses enormous discipline and physical strength. Despite appearances, he is very gentle and occasionally naive. He is also capable of communicating with animals.
Alright fine. Frikkin layla is the least developed character. You happy now? Are you all happy now that I'm not bashing the beautiful Maria?
I hope so.
I didn't think any of the main characters (except for Lionheart) had much development. The NPCs and side characters are probably more developed than what they are. That's why, I'll just say Frioniel, Maria and Guy.

Firion had the least development. For a main character, he almost had no story at all.
Vaan - "Hey, you!"
Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
Fran - "....We could help...."
Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"
