***they even made Snow in FFRK horrible. He's considered one of the lowest tier characters in the game. Meanwhile Lightning just got her SSB (which I just pulled, yay!) and is probably one of the top DPS now because of it, Sazh has the most broken relic in the entire game, and Hope/Vanille are both upper mid tier nuking characters with good utility.
Fang just got added and will undoubtedly be bad however.

Well just because someone is like Lightning is, doesn't necessarily make them a bad character. Cloud wasn't exactly a ball of joy towards the end of 7 and Lightning changes through the story like with Hope and stuff. They have plenty of FF games where the main character is upbeat and happy, so it balances out imo.

Fang who looks like she smells kinda sweaty but in a way you can look past because pheromones, son. I reread this 5 times and I'm still just... I've got nothing.

They try to make Lightning the face of FF, but it isn't going to happen
My main problem with Lightning is that she's essentially early Cloud without the character development. All the negative traits of "Opening Scene" Cloud without any of the arc that fleshes him into a fully realized character.
I'm not a huge Cloud fan either, but at least he develops as a character. Unless they do it in the third game, Lightning doesn't get any of that. Which, really, is a bit of a bummer; FF needed a new face, and having it be a girl would have been a nice change. But she's completely one-dimensional as a character, which really limits her appeal to anyone who isn't just looking at the artbook.
I'd love for them to turn Lightning into a fully developed character, but they had three games to do it and couldn't get it done. Let's hope the Bro Patrol in XV fares better. Agreed, honestly they would've been better off putting Terra Branford in a new game or something but that'd cheapen FFVI.
FFVII gets too much hype but it deserves some of it. Cloud goes through a cycle of development, as far as I've seen, Lightning just has a momentary thought of "Maybe I'm a ***." then keeps right on going, never changing and never developing as a character. She's nice to look at, maybe, but she has no real quirks or redeeming factors that make you think "Hey, Lightning is pretty cool/cute/badass/relatable." She has no niche aside from being shoved down our throats, if we have to be convinced we like something, it isn't likable.

That isn't my problem with her, though. I'm fine with characters being unlikable - the problem is that she doesn't really have any depth. Does she get it in the third game? I couldn't quite get there, but if she gets it in the third game then I retract some of my complaints (but not all - it shouldn't take three games to turn the new face of your franchise into something beyond a one-dimensional angst spigot).

I mean, think like you meet Fang, she's sweaty and smelly because she just killed some rehashed enemy from FFXII and she's like "Oy, ye wanna come back ta me place, chap?" and you smell that se's sweaty but it's kinda like "I can't walk away from this, YOLO." so you're sitting there and Fang is in the shower and you know she's going to clean up nicely and come out in a sexy night gown with her hair down and you're gonna eat popcorn and watch a movie with a hottie with a strange accent.
In shorter terms, you know how they mine jewels and cut and polish them and make them pretty? Kinda like that. *nod-nod*

I'm done with you. Get rid of the tiara and I'd fail miserably to ask her on a date, making myself look like a complete idiot in the process...

But seriously, you're basically describing every female in a FF game... well aside from the accent thing

Garnet doesn't seem sweaty. Anyone who has to fight monsters near constantly is going to end up sweaty at some point every day. Unless you're one of those people who simply can't sweat.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
