Wakka is the best character, discuss

[maybee]

Characters aren't always cleanly cut into heroes and villains. They shouldn't be, and the best characters aren't. The best characters have both a positive side and a negative side. The best characters can be, in turn, sinister or heroic. This is human nature. This is what makes a good character. Someone with a surprising side to them. Someone with a flaw, or, preferably, several flaws, who can go through a character arc.

I already know this and basically already agreed with this. I already said and mentioned that no character can be perfect otherwise that would make him a total Mary/ Gary Stu.

I don't agree with saying "this character flaw is going too far!" There's no such thing.

So would you support a character if he or she raped another character ?
Would you support a character if he or she was a paedophile ?

I really disagree with you on this Pike. Really disagree.

But in writing, this is the textbook definition of good character design.

Yes but Wakka is not. Just because he's a Racist and then realize that he was wrong and then steps back doesn't mean that he's a well developed character or a a character with a deep persona. He just complains throughout the game and then steps back. That's it. That's like Cloud realizing that he was Zack and then just stepping back. No going crazy, no Lifestream scence with Tifa, no depression in ACC.

Wakka is a terrible character.

maybee you seem to have missed that Wakka's entire character arc throughout the game is realizing he's a bigot and realizing that

he is wrong, and working to overcome it. That's the literal definition of character development - a character has a flaw and eventually overcomes it.

You seem to have missed that Wakka hardly has a entire character arc. He just realizes that he was wrong, that's it. What- What ? Where is this " Working to Overcome it " come from ? No, he doesn't. He just complains to all the Yevon high-ups, that don't give two trouts about his moaning that they're frauds and that's it. He does nothing of the sort, there's no big " Wakka overcomes his flaws " Maybe a little in X-2, but in X not even.
In fact he never apologizes to Rikku or Yuna for being a douchebag towards their Race. He tries to act nicer to Rikku, but that's it. Wakka could walk away half- way through FF X and it wouldn't make a damn difference.

This is Wakka

Blitzball Player that looses and sucks being a Captain
Huge Racist Douchebag
Complains to everybody that Yevon are dicks.
Sees Tidus go off at the end, doesn't seem to care too much. Not even a huge or tearful farewell goodbye between them.

Compared to somebody like Vivi, Cloud or Ashe this is pathetic.
