I mean, who doesn't kill a God or two in a jRPG anyway...

The made me laugh out.

In FFIX Zidane and co. defeat more than a god; they defeat the literal embodiment of death or eternal darkness or non-existence. Or something.

shes not the protagonist in that game though, Tidus is.

He also does terrible damage until you level him up (and is stuck with a weapon with 0% added accuracy until he can fight bare handed), and then you have to level him more than you actually need to beat the game to get him to out-perform the Knight.

IIRC he is also the only class that doesn't gain improved stat growth after getting promoted.

Lightning is proof that "power" doesn't equal "personality".

... But that's still wrong. The most powerful protagonist is Hildibrand Manderville. Everyone else, including the player, is just his sidekick.

Lightning only WISHES she had the power of a Gentleman of Light!

I think his father is stronger than him... Like several times more stronger lol

Warrior of Light from Final Fantasy XIV. Bahamut? Knights of the Round? Alexander? No problem.

what Alexander would this be??

since there are a ton of FF games I haven't played I think I'm mistaking him with the summon in that one chapter in Type-0.

XIV's Alexander.

Not as impressive as Type-0 or IX's Alexander, but still pretty impressive. We still have another chapter of its story to go too.

Man I love these threads, so many different takes on FF history. Been playing FFT tho and I desperately want a prequel starring Cid the Thunder God himself in his earlier days and how he caught that title.
