Tidus lacked angst, and I like that. He replaced it instead with an empty-headedness reminiscent of the grand canyon and lacked any sort of human perception. At all. People had to spell out exactly what they were feeling or he was like an annoying puppy. "Let's go let's go let's go!" *smacks with newspaper* "Yipyipyipyip!"

MFD: Attacks are performed as such.

Basic attack: You have a basic weak attack, and strong attack. Weak is triggered by hitting the X button, strong by hitting square. The attacks change depending on if you are in close range or long range.

Specials: You can link special attacks to close/weak, close/strong, long/weak, and long/strong. Those are triggered by pressing the appropriate button at the appropriate range - but pressing the button harder. It's one of the very few uses of pressure sensitivity I've ever seen. And you kinda have to be careful to only tap the button when you DON'T want to do the special...

For spells and items, tho', you have to hit triangle and go through some menus. But magic users can link certain spells as Specials, so it's not too bad...

See, I wouldn't mind that. Hook me up with Cure and some buffing spells on my quickspell list, and I'd probably enjoy that battle system.

EDIT: Wait a darned-tootin' minute. The buttons are pressure-sensitive? But... I thought only the triggers were...

That's the annoying part... you can't link healing/buff spells to the specials list. Well, maybe you can with Sophia and/or Adray, I never tried.

Although truth be told I probably wouldn't've done that anyway with Maria or Fayt... both of whom had to learn the spell from a book. <.<;;;

I'm much in the same boat with MFD when it comes to characters, though I did like Eiko.

Zidane, Vivi, Freya, Steiner, and Eiko were all fun characters to play with.

Amarant and Quina were bleh. Quina was at least a powerhouse, so he got some use. I stopped using Garnet completely in Disc 3...

EDIT: BarOWNED.

Damn FZ, you didn't even like *Vivi*? I didn't know it was possible to not like Vivi!

I don't remember Vivi as well, he might have been cool enough to fly under the radar... But I remember the knight was a hard-headed twit, the theif was a goofy dumbass, the princess was annoying as hell, I don't even know what the fuck Quina was... One glittering jewel doesn't turn a pile of trash into a heap of treasure, it just means there was one good thing in a pile of trash.

I LIKED the game, and Amarant and Quina were bleh... I used Quina long enough to get Holy 4, and never touched him/her again in disgust. Although catching frogs was fun in a really annoying sort of way.

I also enjoyed 9 having, you know, unique characters. Felt like choosing a party was, I dunno, more important.

Then again, I was smart enough to listen to Kuja about not sending mages to that one place with the French name... Green Eye?

Yeah... my brother had Vivi, Eiko, and Dagger. Mainly because he loves him his summons.

Vivi was the Black Mage.

And MFD, KH uses a Zelda-esque control scheme, with a few exceptions.

EDIT: Oh GOD, not that anti-magic place....

I brought Zidane, Vivi, Eiko, and Freya there...Oh god I hated that place....

I liked Tidus because he was the outsider. I know it's cliche, but I really did enjoy it, watching him not give a rat's behind about a thousand years of tradition that he had no clue about, and watching Wakka's faith shatter was one of my favorite parts of the story.

Vivi was the Black Mage.

He was the one that found out Black Mages were being mass produced...

I don't remember a lot about his personality...

...I renamed Garnet Garnet. Because Dagger, I'm sorry, is a STUPID name.

And I didn't catch your edit, so:

MFD: As far as I can tell, the buttons are pressure sensitive. It might be triggered by holding down the button, but they tell you to push it harder, so I dunno. And some effects can continue for as long as you have fury if you just told the button...

*is completely in love with Energy Blast, oh yes...*

There's also a dungeon with a puzzle that hinges on pressing the buttons harder/softer. Extremely annoying, actually...

I watched my cousin play the beginning. Man, what a fucked-up way to choose whether Sora becomes a fighter, damage sponge, or wizard.

Though, I really wish I could just rewind Donald waking Goofy up with Thunder all day and watch it. For some reason, it just cracked me up.

EDIT: Vivi had this whole Pinnocchio thing going for him.

And then he became like Zidane's little bro.

...That's kinda mean. I mean, if you REALLY want to shit on traditions, you should know them so you can do it completely.

But, what's really weird is that, while everyone said "Don't do that or something bad will happen!" tidus did it and never got punished. I call BS on that whole world and move that it be stricken with nukes.

I think the ship taking off from the castle is one of my favorite parts of KH.

EDIT: Eh, it was a means of control and nothing more, anyways. That was part of the whole point of X's plot.

KH's got a lot of fun moments, one of the reasons I like it so much...

Tidus was okay. I don't really like him, but I don't hate him... He was an adaquate hero. The rest of the party just had more personality... Well, except for Kimari... Tidus always seemed less like an interesting character in his own right, and more like a way to see the personalities of the others because he's always so clueless...

He's an idiot stranded in a world that he has no clue about. One that lacks restraint. He's an athlete, let's leave it at that.

For some reason, though, that clueless, bumbling, impulsive idiot appeals to me.

A plot where your main character is a figment of someone's imagination is one to be handled delicately...

And hell, it was a religion that was world wide, it was fishy in that no one questioned anything, ever.

...But then, if you live somewhere where there were constant attacks by a giant whale, you'd need some faith too.

Gah FFX. I liked Auron, Riku, and Kihmari in terms of character.

Used Tidus Auron and Riku to play the game though.
