Tidus:
This guy is very optimistic and spoiled. He speaks his mind and tends to ask too
many questions before even trying to understand the situation before him. Very
unlike the previous FF lead characters, this guy is a bit loud and shrill. He's
a typical jock at heart, and tends to leap before taking thought. However, when
he has his heart set doing something, he will do whatever he can to try and make
it happen.
I just found it very interesting the way Square created the lead role this time,
and I feel it fit the story very well. The most unlikely hero is basically what
Tidus is. Throughout the story though, you'll understand what he's going through
thanks to the narration of the story. His world was turned completely upside
down, and now resides in a world not like his own. His life was taken from him
so quickly, but you'll find out why soon enough.
He starts off a but quirky in the beginning, but please, give the guy a chance.
He later begins to pull his head together after a huge turn in events for him,
and delivers a moving performance later on in the story.
Yuna: Yuna is an ambitious, yet very soft spoken woman. Her decision to
become a summoner was etched in stone a long time ago, and no one can stop her
from her pilgrimage to defeat Sin. You'll soon discover the true extent of her
decisions later on, and you'll truly appreciate what she is giving up to save
the lives of the people of Spira.
Auron: Now this guy is just plain cool. Not only that, but a very wise
one too. His part in the story is very important, and his past is told so well,
makes him the most dynamic character in the entire game.
He is a man who suffered a great loss, and became a Ronin as a result of that.
He carries his arm as a sign of disgrace of his failure in the past, and has a
gash across his cheek, eye, and up towards his forehead. The true nature and
ties between him, Tidus, and Yuna are revealed to you later on.
.Wakka: Wakka is captain of the Besaid Aurochs, a blitzball of Besaid in
Spira. He has loads of personality in the game, and is a very dynamic character.
He speaks with logic in mind, and is deeply religious. He has joined Yuna's
cause and has become a guardian of hers to aid her on her pilgrimage.
Although he is not my favorite character in the bunch, he is definitely the most
well acted throughout the game. His perfectly acted Jamican style voice and
personality is just wonderful. A very enjoyable character throughout the course
of the game.
Lulu: A dark and very practical woman, she brings common sense and strong
upfront honesty to the party. She always tells it like it is, and doesn't worry
about whether or not it hurts the person it is aimed towards. She has a very
interesting past, one which will be explored throughout the game. She has strong
ties with Wakka and his kin, and while it seems she puts him down a lot for his
cheery nature and such, you can tell she has a soft spot for him deep down. She
just tries her best not to show it. Also one of Yuna's guardians.
Kimahri: A very silent, strong willed member of the Ronso tribe, Kimahri
became Yuna's guardian during her father's pilgrimage to defeat Sin. His wisdom
is apparent throughout the game, as he listens to the party and only speaks when
he has something important to say. Despite his silent attitude, he is a very 3
dimensional character, and while he may not exactly show it off, his pride in
his Ronso people is definitely apparent.
Rikku: Very light hearted and honest young women, she is the first of the
party to meet Tidus. Her sometimes ditzy actions and comments annoy the party,
but she definitely enjoys the company of everyone. She seems like the
"child at heart" kind of person in the group, but offers the same type
of brashness as Tidus throughout the game.
