Talking about Final fantasy Main Characters

Bells · 12-14-2010, 11:49 AM

So, playing Final Fantasy Tactics on the PSP... with the new Translation and voice acting... i couldn't help but wonder that Ramza seems to be one of the more Mature and well composed leads i've ever known in a Final Fantasy game.

Not to forget that the Entire cast of FFT is actually pretty compeling. But paying attention to the new translation, Ramza just stood up for me in a way i didn't knew before. The guy shows maturity, growth, responsibility, vision and a sense of Justice and Duty that would put, pretty much everyone from FF4 to FF12 as mere children

The only other character like that in the FF universe i known and felt "This is a Hero. This is a Leader" is Warrior of Light from Dissidia (where he pretty much got all the Characterization he has).

It's been awhile since I've played FF4, but wasn't Cecil fairly mature and level-headed?

Almost... but Cecil has "Bro Issues" while Ramza, as soon as he understand his Brothers are Plotting for evil goes "Fuck those Dicks!" So, Ramza still beats Cecil there

Its not so much "Bro issues" its that his only family member is Under mind control. Its a rather serious thing for him to kill someone he as both idolized and learns is part of his long lost family that is fighting pretty much against his will.

Ramza has to fight the only "good" brother's zombie, though. That had to feel bad. Plus the Beoulve family name is pretty much wiped out, so even though his father Balbanes was a cool dude everything he worked for is undone and Ramza has to live as a fugitive for the rest of his life with the knowledge that he himself was part of the family's downfall (besides the fact that his one brother is a patricidal and regicidal douche demon, I mean).

Crap is pretty traumatizing all in all.

Cecil's pretty cool, tho, so are all the FFV and FFVI main characters, not really anything wrong with any of 'dem folks. Zidane was pretty awesome, too.

There's a difference between fighting a brother who wants to kill you and the horrible corpse zombie of another brother and fighting a brother who is mind controlled. In the former you are fighting for your survival and putting to rest a loved one's soul. In the latter you are murdering a family member who is, in all reality, innocent of any crimes.

Also: Cecil was a paladin. Ramza was a mercenary who worked with dark knights. There's going to be a slight difference in their respect for human life in there.

Cecil's respect for human life is on of the plot points that kicks the story off, after all.

How about the FF2 cast?

Kim · 12-14-2010, 04:19 PM

They made an FF2?

Geminex · 12-14-2010, 04:21 PM

Hmm... Firion, Guy, Leon and Maria?

They were allright. But Guy had no personality at all, and the rest can pretty much be summed up with individual tropes. The story was fun, but the main characters didn't contribute that much. Though the secondary cast was pretty good.
