If Auron had explained everything from the start the best case scenario is that it would have changed literally nothing since you still would have had to go through basically all of the same shit as you grinded your way up to being able to kill Witchy McVengeance and Tidus's dad and the magic flying fartzoglyph and the actually likely scenario is that without having been dragged along on this entire ridiculous quest to see for themselves how stupid it is the cast of ridiculous sperglord children he was dealing with would have refused to listen to a goddamn thing he said and doubled down on believing in their stupid suicide pact and probably all gotten themselves killed by running off and not having him there to babysit them.

Michael Bay is the filth of the Earth, literally hope that Buzz Aldrin looks him up and punches him in the dick.

What was that one that was practically 20 minutes long in FF8? I know with that little "Hit square to do more damage!" mechanic, I could mess up twice just before 200 something, however high it was, and still max it out. It was just stupid.

Eden, most likely.

Also: All of them.

Edit: It was called 'boost' and all the summons had it. Some just didn't take as long.

It has occurred to me that all of the FF characters I like best are the Random Other People In Your Party variety. I don't think the main protagonist from any of the Final Fantasies I've played has ever been my favorite character.

FF12 was the "Basch, Balthier, Fran and Gilgamesh are awesome and the rest of you people suck" show.

Revenant Wings was the "Tomaj and Ba'Gamnon are awesome and the rest of you people lack character depth/plot continuity" show.

FF9 had a whole slew of likeable secondary characters and NPC's, my favorites being Steiner, Freya and Beatrix. Eiko, Amarant and Quina still sucked, though.

I'll spare you the full list of FF's I've played. I'm sure you get the idea.

Fran's definitely one of my favorite FF characters, I gotta say. Not especially sure why. She just is.

And yeah FF protagonists are usually among the least interesting party characters.

I haven't played many FF's, but I liked Locke from FFVI. He seems to have some sense of responsibility, what with protecting Terra early on. His true problems start showing in the World of Ruin, but he manages to get past them with minimal outward brooding.

Liked Edgar and Sabin as well, especially Sabin during his scene in the ending credits.

There's not a lot to dislike about her as a character. She doesn't say much but what she does say always seemed appropriate to the story/ dialog going on at the time and she just came across as being pretty cool. I also liked that her sex appeal was very... not sure how to put it - It was definitely there, but it didn't interfere with the character in the way that, say, distracting jiggle-mechanics would. I didn't get far in FFXII though so I don't know they f'd that up at all.

I see no reason to pick on Zidane's cravat/string tie combo, it's classy.

Now, the dress cuffs around the wrists that are not attached to sleeves because he has none, what the fuck is up with that?

Also Wakka was not really annoying because he was a religious zealot, it was more everything else about him such as his appearance, personality, accent, down syndrome., etc. etc.
