Zidane

So what did you think of Zidane Being happy and cheerful for a change instead of depressed and emo like Cloud and Squall. Personally i thought it was a nice change - he even got over his angsty bit really fast.

I said Zidane's perfect the way he is, but I didn't think Cloud and Squall were that "emo." Considering everything he went through, I thought Cloud kept a pretty good attitude. Squall, especially at the beginning of VIII, was more like "emotionless."

I thought Zidane was great the way he was. It was a refreshing difference from Cloud and Squall.

The last three are pretty much the same thing, so there was really no point in making three different versions of it.

I think Zidane's perfect the way he is. Cloud was nice, but he seemed way too serious for me to really like him as a character (although "Let's Mosey" was pretty funny, along with a bunch of other awkward things). Squall was just a boy dealing with puberty. Nothing completely interesting about that.

I like happy characters. I like the fact that Zidane was friendly and happy and actually smiled in the majority of the FMV's he was in. Besides, he knew when to be serious and when to be silly. Personally I thought it was a nice change. Hell, if Squaresoft made Tidus more like Zidane, FFX probably would've been less painful to play.

I'm not really going to say anything here that hasn't already been said. I think Squall was irritating and the only thing that helped me get through FFVIII was Zell... Oh Zell. So funny and hotdoggy.

Actually, no I really liked FFVIII, but still the teenage angst thing is annoying.

I'm more or less happy with his character the way he is. I don't see much point in wishing he was altered that much. I voted in the majority.

I don't have much to say about this, since FFIX is the first FF that i have
actually finished, but Zidane is a happy, cheerful character.

Zidane's character was jsut fine. They did a good thing by trying to change up the personality of the main character after Cloud and Squall. Now there were some other characters that needed change.. *cough* Quina *cough*

Zidane is one of my favorite character of all time. He is cheerfull, he is smiling. I really like those type of funny characters. I also like Sam "Serious" Stone, although he hasn't anything in common with Zidane. I just like when characters are funny.

It was nice to see a change but, to me, it was just another reason not to like IX. He gave me the impression that IX was just a stroll in the park, just something to think about as a forgetable game. He was far to childish for my liking.
