Also went with Zidane. Didn't like IX at all, but he certainly didn't help matters.

 

And whoever voted for Squall sucks. Squall owns you all. :headbang:

I like Squall too. I mean, he was retarded at first, but he did develop into a decent character. Plus Squall haters can

Spoiler (Highlight to Read):

pretend he dies at the end of VIII, since the ending could be interpreted that way
.

 

I haven't played IX or V, but I had to vote for the Cecil from the insanely overrated FFIV. I mean, I liked the game, but it isn't anything close to the ones after it in the series. It had some fun characters (spoony bard) but FFVI it is not.

I never really cared for Locke from FFVI. I consider him to be one of the leads of that game.

Squall is the best. He's so cool.

 

 

I vote Bartz. He has like no personality and the worst name ever. Boco is cool though.

 

 

About FF VIII's ending...

 

Spoiler (Highlight to Read):

Squall is clearly alive at the end. Unless you're like crazy and somehow interupt him standing there alive and well after the credits as some kind of ghost or something...

There's noooo way in hell that Squall is even close to being as bad as Zidane. *Doesn't get the Squall hate*

Most hate the loner attitude he had, I guess. Personally, I don't, because I'm that way in real life.

 

Plus, he's one of the many pretty-boys the game has. Chicks dig that, thus, making non-pretty-boys jealous.

 

Why the Zidane hate? I haven't played the game, in like, forever, so my memory of the game isn't that good.

Bartz. He is considered the hero, but he is the least important out of the five guys who join you. He's just some guy. Galuf and Krile are far more important to the plot.

 

And why are so many people picking Zidane. Besides Bartz (who does nothing), he is the only FF hero that isn't a whining bitch.

I didn't like what I saw of Squall, but I didn't play the entire game so I have to go with Cloud.

 

OFF-TOPIC: Is there a way to change your lead's name in FFV? I put it in all caps, expecting things to be like they were in FFVI, and now I have Bartz's name in ALL CAPS while the rest of the party names are in lower case. It looks really stupid but I don't know what to do about it.

Yes..that's why I hate him. I'm a non-pretty boy therefore I'm jealous of a fucking computer animated character. Give me a fucking break. That's gotta be the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

How is Zidane a "pretty boy?" He looks like a typical old-school big-headed protagonist. Not extremely femmy or anything. However, he was rather unremarkable as a character.

I think she's referring to Squall....

My bad.

 

Still, Zidane rocks because he has a Saiyan-esque tail. A tail!! I wish I had a tail like that. Yeah, yeah, it's far from a necessity, but so what?

 

I still have my appendix, and what the hell for? A tail would be far more useful than an appendix. I'd trade my appendix for a cool tail in a heartbeat.

His name is Butz, and it's the greatest FF name ever.

In the US version it is Bartz. Just like Aerith is now Aeris.

I'm know, but the greatness of hte original name must be known.

I vote for Zidane, such an unmemorable character and didn't really get me into the game at all.

Ditto. In fact, the whole game is pretty unmemorable.

I hold the same opinion with Squall and FF8. It just felt like they didn't think the whole "love story" angle was enough, so they slapped together the stuff about SEED and the Sorceress to fill out the plot.

Squall, Cloud, and Bartz annoyed the ever-loving hell out of me.

 

As for who to pick, I'll just go with Squall just because all the crap that passes for his part in the story just destroyed any will I had to try and finish that damned game.

Okay, let's see here.

 

Squall was my pick, because everyone and everything related to Final Fantasy VIII was the drizzling shit and turned me off the series for good.

 

Cloud was just too boring. Spiky-haired hired mercenary with a love interest. Whatever.

 

I don't consider Terra the lead of FF6. If anything, Kefka was the lead character. Sure, you get her first, but I think all 12 principals are of equal value. Gogo and Umaro were nothing, though.

 

Cecil was a good lead, and FF4 is not overrated at all. That's all I've got. I've only played and beaten 4, 6, and 7; and still working on 5 when I can. Not touching 8.

All this Squall hate is depressing. :(

 

How anyone could hate Squall more than Zidane is beyond me, considering that at least Squall (like VIII) had actual personality while Zidane (like IX) had little to none. But whatever.

 

Squall rocked because of his attitude, and the character interactions and dialogue *made* that game. And, well, I loved the Squall/Rinoa romance, but I'm guessing most people here didn't. /shrug
