Disagree. For one, at least I remember their names. Some characters(*cough* FFXII and FFXV) I don't even remember some of their names.

I mean I like the game tbh, but those 2 characters are so trash. I have never cringed so hard in my life, especially by Jessie she is so pathetic and desperate.

Have you actually played the original FFVII? Barret has possibly the best character arc in the game…

One is an airhead, even Khimari an animal is smarter than him.
The other is a desperate rapist
Square did us a favour by offing her, Karma for Cloud.
Are you ok?

Topic is about Barrett and Jessie being the worst characters in the FF franchise.
I'm pretty sure most players hate Vann more (I sure did).

I guess I'm in the minority because I always felt that Tidus was a great protagonist. I enjoyed the character's growth over the course of the game, I enjoyed him narrating his adventures across a land he was unfamiliar with like listening to a story over a bonfire, and I enjoyed him eventually owning up to and accepting his fate at the end. Yes, he had a few dumb anime protagonist moments and a fake laugh(meant to cheer up a romantic interest) that became a meme, but he was still grounded enough in his own way(including father issues/absent father) to somewhat remind you of the older FF protagonists, yet at the same time he dared to stay positive throughout most of his situation whereas most of the other FF protagonists couldn't and/or sulked through it.
How many other FF protagonists would keep strong and stay positive after being told they were just a manifested dream and that they're destined to die extremely soon? Definitely not Cloud. Tidus reasonably became angry and sad at first, but then decided to look on the bright side and stay as that positive anchor to his team during his time left.
There still aren't that many protagonists quite like Tidus. Usually when people create a game with a positive protagonist, they make them too cocky like Dante or Bayonetta or give them too much of a clean backstory to make them really heroic. Tidus just seemed like a good guy just doing his best to keep his head up no matter what came his way.

When playing first time as a teen, I loved the game and the whole cast. Especially Tidus.
Then growing up, I heard that a lot of people dislike him.
I replayed it last year and damn ! This game is still amazing and the cast incredible. Best party of the FF (from those I have played) for me. Tidus is amazing.
I really enjoyed his role in story : an outsider that knows nothing about Spira leading him questioning every aspects the people of Spira never did because they grew up with them.

So? It's also a video game, and its story doesn't revolve around you.

I thought Jessie felt more complex in FF7R. Jessie blames Shinra for her father's death and joins Avalanche for revenge. She's motivated by what happened to her dad, but clearly feels guilty about the destruction Avalanche has caused (she blames herself for what happened at the first reactor even though it wasn't her fault). I think her flirty behavior is just a way to cover up or distract from her own internal conflicts (coping mechanism?) . Obviously it's a little exaggerated in the game but I've met people with similar personalities.
Barrett is a just a caricature, I'll give you that. But I don't mind him.
Also that pic is visual ASMR.

They could reveal that Barret molested Marlene and I'd still rather have him in my party than Tidus or Hope.

I actually like how they did Jesse, Biggs and Wedge in the remake. Jesse wasn’t desperate either, she came off as naturally flirtatious and had a lot of development compare in the original game.
Barrett is a natural badass, I love his interactions with his daughter Marlene in the remake, she was freaking adorable. Lol

Very true. I think one of the big issues people had was that we never get to see Tidus become that mature seasoned guy that people wanted to see until near the very end of the game, and by then it was too late. The guy was only 17/18 years old and was suddenly put into a world he knew nothing about, going through a dire situation. He's being told that some huge thing just exists and has to exist as this force of nature that randomly kills thousands of people. He's being told that a summoner has to send those same dead people to the afterlife and then die herself at the end of her journey so that a loop can repeat. He's being told about this grand religion around it that doesn't add up at all. It all looks like madness from the outside in.

Barret was very charismatic character. I enjoyed his performance and role in the story. No issues here.
Jessie is also so alive and ... energetic. She is on my of fav characters in the game! I love that she has a crush on Cloud... Shem you can't bang !
Maybe if I was a teenager I would find her too "girly" and annoying but now I find her energy and crush on Cloud really endearing
Jessie
