    What's the point of this thread? Showing people how to beat Lani?

    No. Just a random spaz thread about whether or not people here liked Lani. I thought she was cute and deserved more screentime.

    Her and Beatrix can dominate me any day of the week.

    FFIX was horrid for giving characters screen time, really. Zidane, Garnet and Vivi got it all, with some development for Steiner thrown in every now and then, but pretty much everyone else got jipped. For example, my favourite character was Freya, who really didn't get much screentime at all. The whole Sir Fratley subplot was barely there, and that was all she really had. Burmecia and then Cleyra get destroyed, and we don't really get to see how Freya feels about it all. Beatrix at least gets some development, wondering whether she's truly on the right side, and finally making a decision to turn against Queen Brahne. Lani on the other hand, didn't even get that. Really, she was just a one-note villain, and she wasn't even very good at that when it came down to it. Just a waste of a character.

    Lani seemed to have the potential to be a really interesting character, especially given her past dealings with Amarant. But like Spatvark says, she's effectively a throwaway villain who hardly features.

    I like her 'hidden scenes' with the Moogles at Madain Sari (accessible during disc 4) and her cameo during the game's ending - but I had to watch the ending twice before I could be certain it was actually her.

    I'd really like for Square to make a remake of this (along with VII and VIII) for the DS or something and do some major additions to character development. IX is my favorite, but, as it's been said, some of the characters got very little screen time while the first four got the most.

    I agree entirely with Spat on the lack of screentime for most of the characters. And it's a pity because there were some interesting characters in there that would've benefitted from more development. Shame.

    In all honesty, I never really thought about Lani that much because she doesn't feature a great deal. Did wonder about her history with Amarant which isn't really explained greatly.

    Actually in this regard, it's more like.
    When a man loves a load of pixels made to resemble a woman very, very much, that man has to spend several minutes alone in his bedroom or bathroom lest he make his keyboard sticky.

    And that's what goes on for many years before he actually finds a real woman who isn't made of pixels whow will have sex with him.

    Poor Lani Not much time for her. With Beatrix around to be sexy incarnate, she just wasn't that impressive. But with some of your own party members getting pretty average screen time, I can't say I would expand her part more over theirs or anything.
