Jeez Milf, let's not get personal here. My issue here, if I may get a bit more personal and intimate, is that I honestly had a parent like Jecht, you know the type that punished you for getting Bs instead of As and verbally reprimended me for being lazy or wimpy, yet I honestly don't have some deep seated hatred for said parental figure. Of anything, I understand now (and Tidus does too in FFX) that my parents had my best interest at heart and simply parented me how they saw fit. I don't see it as abuse and I feel Jecht did more damage by disappearing than whatever he said to Tidus. The game makes it blatantly obvious that he loves Tidus, I mean he's recording his Jecht Spheres for Tidus, not his girlfried/baby-mama or his own collection, he's doing it for Tidus. So I find it unfathomable that Jecht's treatment of Tidus is pure malicious abuse, rather than a misguided father trying to make his son into a man the only way he knows how. Having lived it, I don't consider it abuse and I feel that Tidus' reaction is more him being overly melodramatic than actually being devastated by it.Originally Posted by I'm my own MILF
As for Zidane... Zidane does tell you why he's nice and caring to people. As an orphan with no identity, he was taken in by the jkind Baku but rebelled and left to find his own place, only to come to realize that his true home is with the people who care about him cause that's the "true family". Zidane understand what it is liked to be alone and feel abandoned, so he does what he can to help people so they don't feel the way he used to. He pretty much tells you all this when he tells Garnet about his past. So no, I don't agree with your assessment that he's lacking in conviction, not like say Yuna, who spends the entire game going off to die cause people tell her she should follow after her father's footsteps. She spends most of the game trying to convince herself that she's doing this of her own choice, cause nothing like peer pressure to make you do life changing choices.
