Final Fantasy Character Tier List~

[Squid]

Am I the only person who doesn't like Aerith? I just find her so...mary-sue. She's got no substance, she's just nothig but good, a total martyr. She has no faults and to me she's just unrealistic, like a puppet instead of an actual character. does nobody else think she's got as much depth as a piece of paper?

Xx..xX

I don't hate Aerith, rather, I don't really have much of an opinion of her but I do know what you mean when it comes to her being little miss perfect she's toooo caring and toooo kind and annoyingly cutesy, she doesn't have a bad bone in her pixel body and it's annoying because no real person is that selfless etc. I find her a bit unrealistic as well. But once again, i don't hate her, that's just something that has bothered me about the character.

My Favourites Tier:
Zidane, Vivi, Garnet, chocobo, FFIX Moogles.

I think they are OK Tier:
Cloud, Aerith, Tifa, Auron, Penelo

Characters I don't care about Tier:
Every other FF character

She was alright. I liked her, but as you said, she was very unrealistic. Although her character did have a bit of depth if you played Crisis Core and VII. I don't hate her character, but I don't think she's omg amazing either.

She is better than lots of other FF characters though.

I think it's her proclivity to put herself in terrible situations that need rescuing, not because of interesting plot reasons, but instead because she is just naturally retarded, and also ungrateful when she does get rescued.

Yes, I understand that she's a "spoiled princess" kind of character, but the stupidity that abounds around trying to make her live...that's what I hate about her. She makes the game stupider by remaining alive, despite her intentions to the contrary.

All valid points, but every single one of them can be applied to Rinoa, yet she's somewhat even worse and develops almost none at all but you rated her higher. Dx

Idk, maybe my personal bias toward her makes me blind with fury or something. But I really, really, really, really find Rinoa to be absolute garbage, even worse than Lightning as a character.

You could be right. I probably did rate Rinoa too highly...Maybe I need a new Tier called "Garbage" that rates above "Shite" and below "Mediocre", heh.

I can't ever agree to Rinoa being better than Garnet in any way, sorry. ;___; I found her to be inferior, like a prototype.

You misunderstand...I would put them both there. Garnet is not quite as bad as some of the other characters on the Shite list, and she's definitely less than Mediocre, the same as Rinoa. They're both equally Garbage. ;P

 

[Starships]

I happen to think they're both much, much better than Yuna. x) I didn't like her personality pre and post FFX-2. She went from way too timid and passive, to over the top jpop fanservice.

I'm surprised that we have something in common Tifa ! Yeah I don't really like Yuna at all. She's too much of a doormat/ weak/ too naive and easily tricked. And in FF X-2 she was just... " Yeah girls lets go throw a slumber party and throw pillows at each other teehee " !
In fact she's so easily tricked into doing things, that Seymour has FUN using her, you can tell that he's messing with her and he likes it. Not to mention she puts her friends lifes in danger, she's never noticed that none of the guardians make it back alive with the summoner, expect Auron that's why he's so famous ? She's so naive that she's risking her friends lifes just for a decade of peace... wow, a decade. That's alot, not. Also when her friends want her to stop, she doesn't. Why ? These are her ''friends "

I just have ALOT of issues with her and her character. I put her in the "Meh" / " Don't care too much section, but maybe she should be in my own personal hate list. I dunno. But she's not a favourite, that's for sure.

And yeah agree in X-2 they 'tried " to improve her but she just ended up being worse.
I don't see how Yuna fans see her as a "strong/ willed '' character.... I don't.

About Aerith being a Mary Sue, I have to disagree on that. She grew up being stalked upon by Tseng and the Turks, she lost her real mum, she lived most of her life in paranoia and she hated being different when she was kid. She was alone and the flowers she grew kept her company till Zack came along... which she lost. Then she realizes that she has to give up her life for the planet at a young age, which would be pretty damn scary. Most people would wuss out I reckon, but Aerith was brave and she died smiling. IDK, agree to disagree I guess !

Oh god, it hurts my heart to see Garnet being compared to Rinoa, but alas, I cannot alter your opinion. ): What makes you hate her so much? I honestly don't see anything wrong with her character and she grows up so much throughout her story and ends up a much stronger person for it. Rinoa on the other hand, never changed at all. ;x

You are so awesome. I do love you now ~ <3 I agree with all your posts, although I like Aeris a little less than you do. : )

I do like Rinoa, but her and Dag are nothing alike minus sorta the hair shade. Garnet is brave/ strong and determined and she's willing to fight for her Mother's life and her Kingdom while Rinoa has Father issues and she wants to rebel because of it, she tries to tick off her Dad and it fails. Rinoa later realizes later on that she's not a warrior or a fighter and she screws up alot because of it and then she ends up being so scared and frighted because Ultimeca plans to use her body for evil, and she's already done that once.

They're two completely different heroines. One is a strong- willed Princess and one is a young teenaged girl who shits up her life due to stepping into the wrong field, and could of went insane and extremely depressed if Squall didn't aid her. Garnet while she does stink into depression, she manages to get out of it by fighting it herself and realizing that she needs to move on from the past.

Agree with Tifa again ! Garnet is so strong and independent what's so negative about that ? Also she's extremely intelligent, noble and really brave and like above she breaks through all the sadness and pain she goes through to become a happier person ! While RL depression isn't so easy to break through, it's still nice to know that she was able to battle it and come out winning.

You are so awesome. I do love you now ~ <3 I agree with all your posts, although I like Aeris a little less than you do. : )

Oh thankyou again Tifa you're so kind and nice ! And it's okay everyone is different !

Well, all the things you said about Rinoa easily apply to Garnet.

They both were teens.
They both rebelled against their parent.
They both were headstrong and a bit stubborn.
They both were naive.
They both made major mistakes in the story. (I can cite specific examples.)

But we agree, Garnet is better than Rinoa in every single way.

Those are all traits of a mary-sue. They have lots of very bad things happen to them, lots of woe-is-me situations but never pity themselves, never put their own lives or safety above others. They're always miss perfect, they don't hate the people who hurt them, they care about everyone but themselves, they talk nicely, they are useful, they are perfect.

I guess it just gets on my nerves. I really like characters who have faults, who have strengths and weaknesses, who have room for growth because they're not perfect. It makes me relate to them.
