Statements like that are exactly why I hate most FF fans. "Make life miserable for some poor male character?" Because those poor, spineless male characters have no free will, and it's all the evil girl causing little woobie trouble.

Rinoa is the only FF female who really fits into that category, actually. None of the other girls work that way.

I hate that whole "category" anyway because most things are much more complex than that, but people will bitch about it and make out like the poor defenceless man got manipulated by an evil witch into doing whatever she wants. Rinoa does actually have a personality, and if people are annoyed by that I don't really care. It just bugs me when people make her out to be something she wasn't.

I think Yuffie in FFVII fits in that category as well. Rinoa struck me at least intially as a spoiled little girl playing at being a rebel just as Yuffie was a spoiled little Princess playing at being a ninja...and one who stole everyone's materia.

More to the point though is that I'm not saying that every female character in a Square Enix game is like this. In FFVII I liked Tifa and Aerith. In FFVIII I liked Quistus and that other female who accompanied them and whose name I've forgotten because it's been so long since I played the game. And there was a female General in I believe it was FFVI whom I really liked.

Rinoa and Yuffie were annoying to me.

Celes is awesome. I still can't believe someone on here referred to her as a Mary Sue. I also adore Rosa from FFIV.

In her defense, Rinoa was SUPPOSED to be a spoiled little girl playing at being a rebel. She's NOT a TRAINED KILLER FROM CHILDHOOD like all the SeeDs; she was MEANT to be the one that was innocent, different, and the one that saw the world in a different, more optimistic, "we can CHANGE things if we try!" way. I do think that Squall did a 180 and randomly fell in love with her, but that doesn't mean that RINOA did it; that was Squall being OOC, not a problem with Rinoa as a character. Rinoa as a character falling for Squall was totally IC for her; Squall feeling the same way back is HIS problem, not HERS.

Personally, I think Rinoa's character was fine as it is. Squall is the one that needed work, bad.

Yeah, Squall bugged me a lot. His apathy drove me up a wall.
