Re: OP of 37

I already said I was wrong to include the Yamato thing. I said it like three times. Let me say it again.

Of course the male is the main character because the genre is supposed to appeal to males. There is a WAY to have a love interest without her being an accessory, which is the entire point of me bringing up Kidd and Lyon.

I already explained that my reasons for including Tear were irrelevant and batshit. I'm getting sick of repeating myself.

Garnet, on the other hand, I think fits the type just fine. She's a traditionally feminine healer love interest, which was the entire point of the picture. I think she shares a lot of qualities with Aeris, Yuna, and the like.

Yuna is a major character, not the main character. Despite her importance to the world at large and her major part in the story... at the end of the day, the main focus is on Tidus. He is the main character. The story is about him and from his point of view, and the only reason anything really got solved in the end was because Sin was Tidus' father. Yuna's role in the story was to a) fall in love with Tidus and b) re-unite him with his daddy. Role in story =/= role in Spira as a whole.

For the record, I'm one of those maniacs who loved X-2.

I'm not going to go read everything you're saying elsewhere.

FF9 was a love story, first and foremost. So duh, Garnet was the love interest. But so was Freya to a lesser extent and Beatrix and Steiner. They just weren't the center stage. But were THEY nothing but love interests? Garnet was her own character. She faced her past, the death to two mothers and two homes, making costly mistakes and yet still had the courage to stand tall in the end. On the SIDE she was Zidane's love interest. But that wasn't her main role whatsoever. She was part of the deep and twisting story line that could not happen without her.

FF7 and FF10 were not love stories first and foremost. Their romantic relations with the male hero is there, but it is definietly NOT all they are and you have to be asleep the whole game to think that.

You do know games can have two main characters, right? A story told in one character's POV doesn't mean THAT character is the main character and no one else. It's a type of story telling. What about everyone else? They're just an "accessory" to the story because they also fill cliché roles?
