Worst video game Heroes

Post Reply New Topic

In many FF games, the fact that the male lead has long spiky super-saiyan blond hair, crybaby personality, and a high-pitched tenor voice (for those with voice acting) is what makes the male lead look like a girl. Thats one of the reasons I saw Squall as one of the better heroes... he looks a little more normal than most of the FF heroes, and he also maintains composure a hell of a lot longer than most other FF heroes except maybe Cloud. The fact that he's downright aspie at times also makes it easier for me to identify with him...

Also, many of the FF games also have the one badass male backup character that is usually way more cool than the male lead (Auron, Barrett, etc.), which contrasts with the male lead to make him look more effeminate. FF8 lacked such a character... You had Seifer who shouted all the time, you had Zell with the obviously fake macho thing going on, and you had Irvine who broke down under stress but tried to hide it and act cool all the time... basically, 3 of the common archetypes for an NT (which, in turn, make Squall's aspieness show out even more...)

I'm probably the only person in existence that didn't hate squall...

Personally, my worst FF hero vote goes to Tidus... at least Squall didn't break down into a nervous wreck whenever the opportunity presented itself. (also, runner-up goes to Vaan from FF12...)

- Squall from FF8. Cloud almost wins it but unlike Squall he actually has something resembling a personality.

I think for me, Tidus from FFX takes the cake. When I hear that whiney tenor voice of his, I'm instantly thinking "oh puuhlease- stfu for once"... he has the decency of a 5 year old.
