Haha, exactly. If it was like...3 times, I wouldn't be so annoyed, but seven?
I'm going to be more detailed on why I dislike Rinoa, since my previous post was pretty short for my typical ones.
Why Rinoa is the worst FF Character:
1. She has to be rescued 7 times.
2. She doesn't know how to read properly. [Remember the contract from Cid?]
3. She devises unnecessarily complex plans that are sure to fail, or, just comes up with plans that...always fail.
Example #1: Train mission. So, she was able to make an EXACT REPLICA of President Deling's train, but she didn't know about him employing a
ZOMBIE BODY DOUBLE?!
Example #2: Against everyone's wishes, she decides to 'help' her SeeD buddies by giving Sorceress Edea, a practically omnipotent Sorceress, a bangle created by Dr. Odine...one of the most well known scientists in the world. And, of course...Rinoa was promptly offered as food for the giant lizards. Good thinking on that one, Chief.
4. She is headstrong, and not in a good way. She creates a Rebel faction, yet seems to fail at every attempt she makes with them. I also found it hilarious how some 'Rebel Leader' lives in a nice cushy room by herself, while everyone else gets train floorspace. Nice leadership example there.
5. In the guide, it says that Rinoa is...get this....STRONGER THAN SQUALL. She has higher strength stats than he does. So, let me get this straight...she does...more damage with a SLING-SHOT, than Squall does with a GUNBLADE. Some people would argue it's because she's a Sorceress, to which I argue: If that were so, then her Magic stat would be higher than Squall's, not her strength.
6. I'm sorry, but I can't take anyone seriously who mounts their dog on their sling-shot of a weapon and launches it like a rocket. Shadow and his dog were cool...Rinoa and Angelo made me question animal cruelty. =/
7. I thought she was pretty awful from the beginning, personality-wise. She's always described as sweet and good-spirited, yet we're introduced to her as the girl who 'can't be seen on the dance floor alone,' and who will only dance with the 'best-looking guy there.' Not to mention, at the time, she had feelings for SEIFER.
I just really...didn't see any redeeming qualities from the character itself. Sure, she made Squall a nice guy...but that's not enough of a saving grace for me to forgive her for the 40+ hours I spent with her around, constantly getting herself, or others into trouble.
