Dissidia Duodecim: Final Fantasy

[Dmitry]

Tidus is not a bad main character.

[Fereydoon]

Too bad they didn't ask to the rest of the world's fanbase because I think Vaan is up there with Tidus as the most disliked main FF character lol.

At least Tidus played a role in the story bigger than "I WANNA BE A PIRATE oh hey let's forget that and have him tag along and shut up for 40 hours.".

[Tyrath]

Vaan is on a whole different level of suck than Tidus. Please don't even compare the two.

[Elcura]

I liked Vaan way more than Tidus. I just couldn't stand him or Yuna by the end of X. At least, despite being useless storywise, Vaan's perspective on things wasn't overly annoying or in your face.

[Charismatic]

Vaan wasn't bad. Tidas was bad.
Vaan was neither good nor bad because he didn't do shit, he was just there. Neutrality, niggas... ever heard of it? No, of course not.

[Souj]

Vaan was neither good nor bad because he didn't do shit, he was just there.

What the hell are you talking about? That is a terrible quality to have in any kind of character.
If there is no point to a character existing, why does he exist?
Now, I don't really remember what Vaan did or didn't do, but I just had to say that statement was retarded.

and why do the Japanese fans like him so much?

[Charismatic]

You're fucking retarded. It's not a good or bad quality because it isn't even a quality.

[Souj]

a character with no qualities or no contribution to the story is a bad character.

[Charismatic]

You realize how many 'bad characters' there are in nearly every video game story, right? (Especially Final Fantasy games where the first few games consisted of nothing but 'bad characters')
Not to mention it's not as if Vaan has no qualities and doesn't have any storyline relevance. However, at a certain point it is no longer his story and the reason he doesn't just go home is because he is fighting for his country in his own way... you know, the same country his brother died to protect and also the only thing Vaan had left. He was initially in it for revenge but as the story goes on both Vaan and Ashe get over it... though Vaan wises up before Ashe and doesn't need to be put in front of the Occuria to show this. (so he did have his reasons though he didn't go shouting them every 5 seconds so today's ADD youth wouldn't forget. Maybe that would have been better.)

[Souj]

I gave my answer based on your own description of Vaan. I wasn't even arguing about Vaan at all, only your statements about him, which are now the exact opposite of what you first said, so there's really not much else I can say.

[Charismatic]

Having reasons for being there and doing things are not the same thing... nothing I have said contradicted anything I previously said and no, you didn't base anything off of what I said. I said he didn't do anything not that he didn't have any qualities.
So, with your next post are you going to show me how stupid you can really be?

[Souj]

So I started requoting quotes to show you and to explain things to you a bit more simpler, but I just erased it, because I figured it would be quite pointless.
I concede to you, oh great Domon Kasshu. Have mercy on my soul!

[Fhloston]

Tidus served a purpose. Vaan was eye candy thrown in at the last minute to sell games.

Vaan sucks, poor choice is poor for XII. dealwithit.jpg.

[Lucavi]

I just hated Vaan's look. The caked crap around his lips, the terrible hairstyle, the absurdly stupid outfit. I'd have been fine with his actual "character" if they had simple swapped his entire look with that of Reks.

[Colenzo]

I can't believe people are actually talking about Dissidia's storyline.

[Tobi]

Dunno how accurate it is, but whatever

I can't believe people are actually talking about Dissidia's storyline.

Who's talking about Dissidia's storyline?

and yes, Vaan was confirmed for Dissidia a day or 3 ago. unless I'm missing something else from the link?

[Kiarax]

I think he is linking it more for the "variety of weapons" part. Maybe it'll be like Lightning's paradigm shifts, being able to swap weapons on the fly would be sweet. Otherwise he could just swap for moves like Bartz and Firion I suppose.

[Xno Kappa]

Argument is silly, comparing a shitty main character to another shitty main character doesn't make them any less shitty.

[Nevex]

I can't believe people are actually talking about Dissidia's storyline.

It's still better than just about every single fighting game's story.
They're all like: "I want to obtain X information/get revenge on Y so I'm entering Z tournament and winning it even though it has nothing to do with my goal".
At least Dissidia has an actual storyline.
