I like Light. I thought she was pretty awesome. Would like another game with her as lead.

This made me thinking... why FF characters lately felt like they are not memorable as the old ones :\
I feel like they are losing their magic and charms which is shame because they had such a powerful potential

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.

I dunno but I found Vanille to be memorable
in a bad way
Brooding anime stereotypes aren't memorable. This is for a whole other thread, but I think voice acting defines the characters clearly, where in the past your impression of the characters was made up in your head. If Vanille was a little, animated sprite with no changes to her dialogue, people wouldn't hate her as much.The Praiseworthy said:This made me thinking... why FF characters lately felt like they are not memorable as the old ones :\

I hope she is emo and angsty for the whole game and they should dedicate a button to punching, I want to punch every NPC in the face, best moment of FFXIII!.Bebpo said:I hope in FFXIII-2 Lightning is totally out of character and zany like Yuna was in X-2.
because her character kind of sucks in XIII

I guess... for example FFIX characters felt more alive to me than FFXII.
but again... FFX characters felt also more memorable than FFXIII :\
maybe because SE is using the Final Fantasy as a series so much that it felt like less special.
I mean 10 years ago whenever we hear an announcement about a Final Fantasy game it feels so magical and special.... but now, no few months passes without hearing about a new FF game that soon we won't even care if it was released or still under developing
They really killed the magical feelings the series used to gave us by milking it so much which is really sad

Lightning deserved better writing

Hey I'll defend Dirge. It was very close to being a good game
A Dirge style game with Lightning could be very good but I kind of liked Dark Void so what do I know

Yeah, her character design's still very good. Honestly if FFXIII-2 happens with a totally different battle system (kinda like how FFX-2 handled it) and a fuckton of sidequests (again, kinda like how FFX-2 handled it), I'm game, even though the FFXIII world is pretty damn dull. Some better writing would be nice, though, and I really don't want a game that ends up starring Snow's Shitty Friends.StuBurns said:

Well FFXII was made by a lot of the same people who made FFT, Vagrant Story, and Tactics Ogre.
Especially Yasumi Matsuno who directed all those games and wrote all their stories and characters.
So the FFXII characters are similar in style to, say, the FFT or Vagrant Story characters... they are very different, but you can tell they came from the same people.
Fang did not do anything remotely cool neither. She was only more interesting because she was A) a dyke and B) a lot of crazy. Lightning may have flipped all over a level, take out five guards by herself, and summon mid fall but she was so sterile. Also full of korny.Kusagari said:

Sazh was far and away the only likeable character in FFXIII. Lightning and Fang were one dimensional, Vanille and Hope were annoying, and Snow was one dimensional and annoying.

Make way for FFXIII: COMPLETE (Town Edition)
Really liked FFXIII for what it was- but it still needed more time in the oven
which is sad considering how long it took initially.

Who cares about punching guys in the face? Any Final Fantasy monk does that. Sabin suplexes a train. That's tough to top.DaBuddaDa said:
