Your favourite FFX character

[Kobato]

I always liked Rikku for the fact she wasn't your typical 'Genki girl'. Squenix (well, Japan) have such a hard-on for this trope, with the likes of Selphie, Vanille and Yuffie (post-FFVII) taking turns as ditzes and clown shoes.

I have to disagree because while Vanille and Selphie acted rather Genki Girl trope, both of them seemed to be faking it. Vanille for sure. she was just wearing a mask to hide her pain and regrets..... and Selphie does seem Genki Girl as well, until you head to her Garden after the missile attack and she sorta breaks down, in front of her friends graves, but still tries to be strong for the friends that died during the attack.

Also isn't Selphie more Yandere than Genki ? She seems like a cute girl, but some of the things she says sometimes and how keen she was to blow up the missile base seem kinda like she has a sadistic side.

Rikku FFX is brilliant though and yeah agree......... FF X-2 ruined it. She went to a girl who was down to earth, intelligent, and not scared to be a Al Bhed to '' OH POOPIE "

I can't remember who I voted for in this, but I hope it was Lulu. I really liked her personality, she didn't really speak unless she had something meaningful to say, and when I was playing the game I always looked forward to her lines.

I loved that she had a semi-gothic look too, really suited the black mage role.

Also, she just kicked ass. Really had presence.

Selphie isn't Yandere at all. O_O I would say she is the exact OPPOSITE of that. Yandere would be more Yuno Gasai (I use this example because I know you watch Future Diary XD) who is sweet on the outside, and pretty much crazy and willing to kill anyone that comes near whom she claims to be 'her' man. Basically, she'd do anything and I mean anything for the sake of her love interest. Selphie is more cheery and actually kind of standoffish towards Irvine's advances at first. I really adore her character, she was one of my favorites. I really wish they had developed her more as a character. While she's hyper active and cheerful (and so damned CUTE), she does have her serious side which she shows many times. And I found her very useful in battle. I also love characters with slot limits. XD (Setzer, Tifa, Selphie) I would also disagree that Selphie has a sadistic nature. She has her down moments, but she was in no way sadistic. Mostly she was caring, loving, and kind to most people.

I love Rikku all around. Not sure why people hate her when FFX-2 rolls around. She hasn't really changed. She's still peppy, cheerful, and hyper. She always has been. I actually still adore her in both games. The only one I'm not interested in at all is Paine. Her character was terrible. X-2 had it's stupid shit to be sure, but it was a very fun and enjoyable game despite those things.

I never played both but I got the same impression that she's so cheerful on the outside because she has a lot of problems on the inside. Her mom died, her favorite cousin is trying to basically kill herself, and she knows this won't do jack shit for the rest of the world for long. So she tries to be cheery for everyone. (i think i voted yuna but i love rikku lots too HO HUM)

Oh sorry about that. I read online that Yandere meant cute but with sort of a dark side. xD To be honest I don't really know the Japanese anime tropes that well, though I still don't think that Selphie is just all happy smiles and skipping in happy rainbows, you know ? c:

She has her down moments, but she was in no way sadistic.

Maybe... but she was very, very, very keen to blow up the missile base xD

Guess because it's a bit disappointing, Rikku in X-2 says some rather silly things that don't seem like her intelligent self, or how intelligent she was in the OG. I don't hate her, that's rather harsh xD

Though she just says some retarted stuff sometimes in the sequel, like yeah... " Oh poopie " xD

The only one I'm not interested in at all is Paine. Her character was terrible.

I didn't like Paine either, until I found out her past. She's just like a female version of Squall, though think unlike Squall she actually has a decent reason why she's like the way that she is. She started out as a innocent camera holder, only to see innocent people getting tricked into being slaughted by monsters.

Though she seems so.... unoriginal...

X-2 had it's stupid shit to be sure, but it was a very fun and enjoyable game despite those things.

X- 2 is fun, don't know why it gets so much hate. ):

It gets a lot of hate because it has a lot of female stereotypes that piss a lot of people off. Not to mention some of the things you do in the game are just down right stupid. I can see past that, though. I really love Yuna, I thought it was amazing to finally play as a female main character. I just wish they hadn't TRIED so hard to make it strictly female? I'd have liked Yuna, Rikku, and a male character in place of Paine. It'd have been nice to see a mix. Plus, I think dresspheres for a dude would have been pretty cool. I still loved the story line with Yuna's inner struggles and Shuyin and Lenne... that was pretty neat. The sad ending is just the best... dear lord, my poor heart.

Yeah Selphie was adamant to blow up the missile base, but I don't think it's because she's sadistic! XD And I don't think ANY character is completely happy, skipping, and barfing rainbows, lol. Some are just cheerier than others for whatever reasons. And Basically I agree with Aki about Rikku! <3

I think Lu and Wakka are the only characters that didn't get ruined by X-2 tbh. And that's only because they settled down had a kid and played a minor role.

Some people consider that in itself a raping of their characters.

I have to disagree because while Vanille and Selphie acted rather Genki Girl trope, both of them seemed to be faking it. Vanille for sure. she was just wearing a mask to hide her pain and regrets..... and Selphie does seem Genki Girl as well, until you head to her Garden after the missile attack and she sorta breaks down, in front of her friends graves, but still tries to be strong for the friends that died during the attack.

I admit that Vanille does tone it down a little further into the game but she's out of her fucking skull for most of it.

 

[Lumina]

Wakka is an annoying, bigoted, jerk.

Man how I loved when he found out the truth about Yevon. His face was priceless.

 

[Fangu]

Wakka has a heart of gold, that's why I chose him <3

But... if I was to vote now, I would have voted Kimahri. He's seriously the coolest dude in my party and I spend all my money on his gear, olol. Also, you can do a Kimahri voice for everything. 'Kimahri wants ice cream.' 'Kimahri don't want to get out of bed.' 'Kimahri a little sad.' His voice is even a little sexy. I wish I found bestiality hot.

Edit: Heart of GOLD, not heart of cold! Thanks for pointing that out to me, Flint

I am a little worried about the remaster. I mean, the landscapes and most of the characters look great. But I'm not sure about Tidus and Yuna. I think that their expressions are less natural and that isn't good because they're main characters. I hope they will look better in the finished game...but I'm still looking forward to it
