Square Enix Most annoying ff guy

Well, it's only fair, considering the most annoying gal thread .

Seriously, folks. Who are the final fantasy boys who make you wanna scream? I have more than a few.

I may catch heck for this, but I really don't care for Sephiroth.

Yes, yes. I know he's hot, he has a big sword, an angsty past, and he's really hot, but the character just kinda gets on my nerves.

Here's why: (Warning: SPOILERS)

















First of all, even before his death in the mako reactor, Sephiroth is certainly cold and disinterested. Granted, I know that's the way he's supposed to be. He's a general, and his profession doesn't exactly leave a ton of room for him to be sweet and caring. Even so, his personality didn't exactly endear me to him. After Jenova, it got even worse. Then, at least to me, he just became a bully. I'm sorry to those who like him, but I can't see Sephiroth as anything but. And yes, I understand that, for a villain, such things as harassing Cloud, killing Aeris and summoning Meteor are (duh) typical behavior. Even so, I have no respect for bullies (being the victim of several of them well into my teens), even if they are polygonal, fictional and hot.

And the meteor thing kind of bothers me too (to say nothing of his killing Aeris, a character I have a strong affinity for). I mean, Sephiroth's whole summoning of the thing just seemed well... whiney. "Ohhh! I'm mad at the world! And I'm superior! Hahah! Die!" Please ><;. Unmotivated, ill-explained selfishness like that is another huge turn-off for me.

I think that's the root of the problem. I just didn't find Sephiroth a truly developed or interesting character. To be fully honest, I thought Hojo was far better developed (when compared to Sephiroth) and few people really like him.

Again, not trying to offend anyone, but these are my views. I personally don't mind if other people like Sephiroth or not.

 

Heh. Well before I say mine, I just have to say, the one thing I hate about Neo-Sephiroth fans is they don't understand one thing: He is unlike any other Final Fantasy antagonist. Everyone chalks Sephiroth up to be just another bad-*** "Oo! I wanna destroy the world, 'cause I'm so evil, and I can, so BLAH!" type. In actuality, Sephiroth (and possibly Sin if you really wanna call that an atagonist) is anything but.

(Some spoilers here, sort of, I guess)


Kefka, Ex-Death, all them just wanted to kill everyone and rule the world for themselves because they were evil, and that's that. With Sephiroth, it actually went into that he wanted to, if I'm not mistaken, and I may be as it's been a long time since I played the game, cleanse the planet of the "imperfects" and he wanted to kill everything (including himself, might I point out) to reach the Lifestream, etc. If anything, Sephiroth was on the lowest pedestal of "bullies". Also, if I remember correctly, I believe Cloud tried to **** with Sephiroth and pissed him off first, so that whiney little ***** had it coming. Though as I said, it's been a while, so I might be wrong. Feel free to point out if I am.


(Some spoilers here, sort of, I guess end)

Now for my least favorite male...

For now I'll just have to say Palmer because I just found him an annoyance; he offered no real purpose, no comedic relief, nothing. I think it would've been better if he was just taken out.

 

****FFVII spoilers****I think a lot of people seem to believe that Sephiroth was only summoning meteor to kill everyone. This is not the case. He wanted to cause a wound in the planet so the lifestream would all gather at that point, which he would merge with and become God Like. Recently, I have prefered Kefka to be honest, but I still think he's a good villan, and more than just a bully. Aeris' death was brilliant. It was brilliant because I didn't want her to die. That's all I got to say about that. ****~fin~****

Edward is grand, if only for comic relief. Without him, the lines "You spoony bard!" wouldn't exist. Just imagine how much of a tragedy that'd be. Sure, he' probably the worst fighter in any game ever, sure his great heroic deed is getting up to play the harp when he has a cold. He's funny because of his ineptitude.

I never liked Quina or Zidane much. Quina's got less than no personality, and don't talk proper. Zidane is just a week main character, I thought.

 

Hrrmf..I agree with MR. ArkAnjil here. Sephiroth at least had a reason (Altough ut wasn't any reason normal people would act upon)!
First of all:

**********SPOILERS i guess*********





Well, MR. Sephy here was an ancient right? In a way, that is.
So he's not COMPLETELY all wrong when he said that they where being used by the "imperfects" as you may call them. They offered themselves for the world and for the well being of others. And one more thing i like about him; He READS! God**** he read the entire library in the ShinRa Mansion in a couple of days? (It's better with villains who read, than villains who don't. The reading ones are often smarter, therefore it is possible they have more "depth" in their case of destroying the world blablabla. But hey. Who's defending the bugger?

*********End of that spoiler i guess (was it really?)******

Hmm..I am quite a philosopher myself and i do believe that he wasn't an EVIL person. To be honest i do not believe good or bad exists. There are always just 2 different opinnions.
Who desides of good or bad/right or wrong?

OK, to the case. Annoying must be....Tidus.
No offence to anyone, but i can't stand him. He was one of the reasons that i stopped playing FFX. One of the major problems was the reappearing use of the phrase "My old man". Hey Tidus! We went sick of it the twentieth time we heard it! Can't you just say "My dad" or "father" once in a while? Puh-lease

 

Well, never bothered to play FFVI...Altough i have it..should I? Izzy come help =) (My new finishing line)

 

This is probably why I shouldn't post when tired and severely pissed off at student housing.

I understand Sephiroth's reason for summoning Meteor. I understand that he wanted to wound the Planet to summon Lifestream and therefore become God (or god-like). But the arrogance behind that decision (i.e. I'm Jenova's son and mom and I are superior to you humans! hahah die!) didn't fly with me. I also disliked the fact that this was the only side of his character we got to see. Granted, he had a motivation other than "I'm evil and want to destroy you all!" (as I may have mistakenly implied in my previous post), but even that motivation wasn't complex enough for me, because it made up his entire character and it was, frankly, a motivation I did not, could not, will never see as anything but arrogant and bullying.

Also, I don't remember Cloud doing anything to "****" with Sephiroth aside from trying to (SPOILER)



protect Tifa and his home after Sephiroth injured her and killed Zack



which leads me to believe Cloud isn't necessarily "asking for it", at least no more so than the rest of the planet is "asking for it". I mean, why does Sephiroth feel he has a right to damage the planet and become god? Because he was genetically tampered with? Because no one told him about it? Granted, these are terrible things for anyone to endure but even so, that's not the fault of the human race.

Yes, I understand that Sephiroth isn't a one-dimensional stereotype. But I think he is two-dimensional bully who could have used a little more fleshing out. It's just my opinion again, so nobody take offense, please.

 

Just one more thing here, Jenova wasn't an Ancient, this is a common misconception. Jenova is reffered to as the "Terror From The Skies", so it's only natural that Sephiroth turned a bit screwy. Besides, he was better than everyone else. He effortlessly manipulated everything to his own favour. He would have succeeded too, if it wasn't for those damn pesky kids. I think Cloud only defeated him because he was a clone, and he ganged up on him with his bunch of mates. There's also a chance he wasn't at his full strength at the end, what with recently having come out of the chrysalis and having used his power to summon meteor. How Cloud defeated him the first time is a mystery though. Sephiroth is good. But evil.

 

hmm..yeah. I guess. But, he wasn't really a bad person...he was just driven to it. And hey, who wouldn't freak out if you find out that you are a biological experiment?

 

Well...........i used to LOVE Sephi.......but not after he killed Aeris....i still dont know why he did it...

 

well! *rubs hands together and looks around* Sephiroth, huh? Well, i like him. Hm, lets see who i dont like.
Well, i know who i DO like. Wakka. I love that man, ya? (someone hit me, please)
Hmmm..... Hm hm hm hm hm. EDGAR. hmmm....Zidane? is that it? *looks around* the guy/girl from ff 9? eh, well, him. Hm. I think, for the most part, i dont like Tidus. I like him in cut scenes, like the one.... uh...

****SPOILER! ******

I always wanted to do that.
well, when he kisses Yuna! (that...wasnt a spoiler. *lowers head in shame*) then. those cutscenes make me sad. i think i cried during that.

****** ...I'M DONE! *******

well! yes! i think, indeed, it would have to be AH! Seymour! Maester Seymor! or Mika! Or that guy....that you meet on...Mi'ihen or something...he gives you all the info??? HIM! GYYYAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! AJFDS:JHFSANDAYHD:A?DHLIUAYD:OUA(DHADHADLGADLADHNDH

argh. im done! anyone like Lulu?

 

well if i must say it would be kuja on FF9....um he IS a guy right?.
um anyway hes really stupid and he looks like a girl, god the first time i played the game, i was at my friend house fighting kuja, and i was like, man i hate kuja she's so annoying and evil.
and my friend said thats a guy.
well what a shock that was. yeah sorry i really don't like kuja.

oh yeah, i like x-death is funny, hes like "hahaha i will kill you warriors of the crystal."
and then he dies. :dizzy2: now thats funny.

 

Hm. I still don't like Tidus or Rikku...but Kuja is awesome! He is actually, as someone said a while ago, maybe the most powerful baddie


*****SPOILER*****



since he, by himself, destroy the planet of Terra easily. And In the end (if you have the Hammer), he becomes a good person.


******That's all Folks*******

 

I don't like Zidane much... but he has quite a funny moment in the credits of FF8.

I won't go into detail, to avoid spoilers.

 

Annoying FF characters?

Let's see....

Eiko: She's an annoying brat....she's powerful, but annoying.

Edward: Biggest pansy the game has made.. seriously, a bard? OOH, LOOK AT ME, I'LL KILL THEM BY SINGING!

Seifer: OMG! Arrogant prick, that's all I'm gonna say.

Cid (FF4): Pointless idiot, who looked stupid. I hate him too.

Shadow: Ooh, I'm so mysterious, oops, I'm dead, wait no, I'm not.....blarg, stupid guy.

I think that's it for now.
