What's the appeal of Cloud? Is it his sword?
But considering this site is full of gaming hipsters, I'm not surprised most people here don't see what makes Lightning so popular.
Translation: I like FF7 better than FF13 so I don't mind if the main character is on top even thought he far from the best in series.
Japanese Balthier was no where near as smooth as the NA one. They just don't know. But am happy for Ramza and BartzNo Ashe or Balthier?
Two criminally underrated characters.
Who are these sick people who keep voting for Lightning - the Roman Reigns of Final Fantasy?
Of all the things to complain about Bartz and his appearances across multiple games, a lack of personality isn't one of them.
Cloud makes sense to me given the exposure and success of FFVII. He was likable for at least half the game + rose tinted glasses.
Lightning was dreadful to neutral through FFXIII imo, hence the question.

Bartz, the FFV protagonist, the third more popular FF character?
I like Cloud, I really do, but I feel like people remember him fondly for things he never did. He wasn't a solemn, loner edgelord in FFVII, but that's how he's been portrayed in all media since KH.
I mean, the fucking guy cross dresses and says "let's mosey". Sure, he was in a coma for a while and that was pretty depressing, but he's mostly just a standard JRPG protag with some quirks. I guess I'll chalk it up to FFVII being the most popular game in the series. It stands to reason the protagonist of that will win. Even if there are better characters within that very game. Oh well.

I imagine it's extremely tilted due to the game appealing to people who liked the SNES era of Final Fantasy.
I'm sure if you polled Dissidia players you'd get Bartz way lower.
I'd say that's an absolutely valid reason, actually.What's the appeal of Cloud? Is it his sword?

She was the face of FF for the entirety of last generation. The generation of "HD towns are hard", the XIII trilogy and just the general incompetence of Squeenix. She represents that to many people and it's hard to divorce the troubles surrounding Squeenix and the games they made during.never liked FF games but why the hate on Lightning ?? is it only because FF13 was a disappointment to the fans ?

I kind of hate Kingdom Hearts and Advent Children for basically retconning Cloud into the emo trope he seems to be now.

Isn't this just ranking the characters based on how useful they are in RK?
FFV is popular in Japan. Moreso than VI
I'll take lifeless and unemotional over "don't worry babe your hero is on his way!" any day. Snow's cringeworthy personality was one of the worst things about that game, IMO. Why Troy whySo what is it then, if you can see it but not the rest of us? Is it the pink hair? Or the fact she is pretty much a girl Squall/AC Cloud? She is just such a boring and souless character and her main trait of "gotta protect my sister!" is outdone by Snow's determination for the same goal! Yeah, people hate Snow because he's obnoxious but at least he isn't as lifeless and unemotional as Lightning who at most, gets angry sometimes.
Please tell me this isn't a Nomura quote lmaoThere's just something about Lightning
It's hard to explain
She's like a rose
I'm staring at a rose right now and I'm just thinking how similar it is to Lightning
Passion oozing
Can strike you and make you bleed if you're not careful
Fragile, yet fierce
Pure beauty
