Rinoa - Page 3

I actually like Rinoa. Sure, she annoyed me at times...but I think it's the situation that she's in that annoyed me more than anything. For instance, she's always this "damsel in distress". Now, if we only had to save her once, then I probably wouldn't be annoyed at all...but saving her that many times kinda ruined it for me.

However, I still love her character. She may be a little naive sometimes, but I love how she's really down-to-earth - that made everything worth while for me. I like characters that are simple, not too complicated, and has a simple background story. (Cloud being an exception.)

As far as her abilities goes...well I admit, it's not exactly the greatest. She's one of the weakest character (even when she reaches level 100), but the girls are usually the weakest compared to the guys anyway. So I'm not going to make a big deal out of that.

Liked her as a character a lot, the whole reason for why she was fighting was kinda impressive. First she was just the leader of Timber Owls making half-baked plans that dont seem serious. Well she does think they are being serious ,and when it comes time to needing to save her it was because she was trying to prove that she wasnt dead wait compared to everyone else. dhe was trying to prove that she could be on the same beat with them. Only thing that really annoyed me was learning her limits, even though i know you can choose which ones not to learn, i went to learn them all. It was just all the time walking when at times you had nothing to do just to learn a limit, though it did pay off. All in all she was a great character leading a rebllion to defy her fathers goverment being to military like.

I don't think it's hate at all but more on the lines of annoyance.

I mean, come on, you had to rescue like what?...a billion times before the game was out; you tried to level her to a decent one, before she gets away from the party again; I never got to use her limits; she was sub-par in battle.
Not that her character is in anyway morally wrong or whatever, but I thought her character was just sub-par, in all honesty.

Well… it’s obvious from my Avatar that I don’t hate Rinoa, far from it…

I liked Rinoa’s character, but I can clearly see why other didn’t. I found her to be realistic, honest and not afraid to speak her mind. She tends to be a little emotional at times, but that just added to her realism in my opinion. In fact, that realism is what I loved most about her. I never found her too clingy as some claim, a little forceful, but not over done. Let’s face it, Rinoa complemented Squall real well, he needed some with Rinoa’s personality to break him from that anti-social mold.

Also, I clearly understand why it annoyed most players, but I actually did care about rescuing her the 5 or 6 times throughout the game. It truly never bothered me.

And… I honestly don’t she how she was forcing Squall to like her, she forced out his true feelings, but certainly not the opposite as some feel. In my opinion, it was love at first site the moment the locked eyes with each other (for those who believe in such a thing).

Haha, you like playing the knight in shining armor, huh?

Well, I guess in that light, it's not so bad, but playing from the viewpoint of an action-seeker, it certainly does get a tad annoying.

From that viewpoint, the only episode where Rinoa was remotely interesting was the time when we meet her the second time with the train mission. Action packed that one.

=) I think that's because you're a guy and well, guys tend to wanna play that typical hero. I know for a fact that A LOT of the female players didn't like her and I'm starting to think it's because...they're girls, lol.

Female players don't want to save heroines that many times! Think of it in a psychological point of view from girls.

Clearly, I'm being ambiguous again...but I promise, I actually know what I'm talking about this time around!!!

Im female and didnt mind rescuing her lol. It was part of the game and I loved the game that much to go to Rinoa's rescue over and over.

……………………………………………………………………………………………Uhhhh, Ok???

Right, right… *sigh*… I think you know damn well what I’m getting at in my post. Hell, Warborne got it. Oh wait… Silly me, he’s a guy; maybe he doesn’t understand a Females point of view either… Lol…

By the way, thanks for taking my post WAY the hell out of CONTEXT!!!

I didn't hate her at all! She would have to be one of my favorite Final Fantasy female characters in the entire series. To be honest, at first I couldn't stand her but now I think she's a great character. She was interesting and just had a really cute personality. She was caring and just happy spirited person. She tried to stay positive about things and helped Squall through a lot of things.

I thought she was a powerful character as well. She was really useful in battle and I nearly always used her, she was just great!
