As female protagonists go, Tina/Terra isn't really a good example of "weak"

OP

[(Anonymous)]

The way I would say it isn't that she's "weak," but that she's not the stone-cold badass some fans seem to want her to be. She has emotions, she has low points, and there's more to her than "kill all the things!" This is actually something you see with male characters, too, it's just that male characters are more likely to actually BE stone-cold badasses. (Or as a villain in Manly Guys Doing Manly Things once summed it up: "Why are you crying, you pansy? You're supposed to be a brooding anti-hero like Batman! Why aren't you Batman?")

To add to that

Before anyone asks: yes, I was one of those people who liked Squall in FFVIII. Sure, he's broody in a teenage way, but that's because he's a teenager. (Truth be told, I liked him more than Rinoa--my love for female leads isn't absolute, and Rinoa didn't seem like she had much to her.)

Re: To add to that

I would venture to add that Squall has good reason to be broody like he is, with losing so many people in his life, and then losing his memory of it so he doesn't know why he feels that way.

She grows during the game, but I'd say her personality, at least during the beginning, is pretty "weak". Not in a she's-a-bad-character way, just she's not really strong except in that she can do magic.

Her whole amnesiac protagonist schtick at the beginning of the game really limited personality growth. I like that they at least realized that and gave it a twist with Cloud in the next game.
