What a fucking loser. Oh what a big man you are, you can take more damage than Jill. Well guess what, SHE'S THE BETTER AND MORE COMPETENT MILITANT THAN YOU. Bitch, she doesn't even NEED the Sword key, you cunt. Are you meaning to tell me that he can't carry more than six fucking items despite being quite blatantly physically stronger? Are you meaning to tell me that he has less pockets pockets than Jill, despite the whole crew having pretty much the same military gear? Are you fucking serious about this shit, Chris doesn't know who the Umbrella Corp. is? He can't play the piano -- fine, but he can't fucking solve a simple math problem with chemicals?! FUCK YOU CHRIS REDFIELD YOU SUCK.

SERIOUSLY EAT A DICK

Well then I don't know what it is, because Scias is fucking awesome.

[Anonymous No.4625861]

One of the worst of the whole series. At least Aeris was a great healer, at least Vincent had Death Penalty overflow, pic related has absolutely nothing.

[Anonymous No.4625886]

Wasn't it originally planned to be just Jill too, then they added Chris for wider appeal? Shit even Leon was outshining Chris before RE5, then Capcom fucked everything up by making Leon an emofag and Chris into whatever he is now.

Fun fact: Everyone whose favorite character was Mallow grew up to be gay.

>forces you to go through a shitty minigame gauntlet

Why was he even in the game?

This is just a guess but perhaps before Square made the decision to make Disc 2 what it is they were going to make the game longer and I imagine we would have seen more of Rico.

Unless you are one of those retards who think the best character is the one that can speed run the game faster, X is absolutely better than Zero in X4.

Jean from Breath of Fire II wasn't a very good character.

[Anonymous No.4626437]

>>4626420
yeah. he's outclassed by every other character in every category. the only way he's remotely useful is when he gets that shaman form where he can do obscene damage to all enemies but you have to charge it. Sten, Bow, and Spar are god-tier with shamans.

I for-real thought Mallow was Nintendo's gay outreach character.

[Anonymous No.4629475]

I hated Wakka.
I hated his stocky, stumbling body and fat face
I hated his stupid yellow overalls
I hated Blitz-ball, and I really didnt like that throwing a ball was how he fought.
Auron and Tidus are over here wreaking-fucking-shop with flaming, purple glass, laser swords.
And Wakkas over here with a stupid grin on his fat face holding a green basketball cover in spikes.
and that fake, phoned in "island" accent that sounds like some half retarded Surf Instructor from Italy.
If all that wasnt bad enough, he gets to fuck Lulu?
Fuck this guy. Finish the game with Rikku.

Wakka was amazing if you sphere grid jumped him early. Total clutch party member and blitzballer.

Umaro can carry you through the Fanatics' Tower pretty easily though. In any FF game you have at least one character who only auto-attacks anyway, Umaro just gets shafted by being in the game where every command but Ultima might as well not exist.

[Anonymous No.4629517]

Chaco had all the 3 rune slots free, plus the weapon rune slot.
Any character with those traits are automatically top tier, which really bothers my autism, since I have to choose between characters I like or fuckfaces like Chaco and Sid that are much stronger.

I don't give a SHIT whether he's "good" or not, the game's easy enough as it is and I'll be damned if I'm not picking the wrestling half-demon character for my party..

I hate this guy, but gameplay-wise he's one of the 3 best characters just because his stupid overdrive does infinite damage.

Ultima is not even that good.

>France in Colonization
>Dutch start with larger cargo carrying ship, plus their prices don't collapse as quickly, so it's possible to make tons of gold off of production of goods
>English get more immigrants, and get to choose who immigrates, making Fountains of Youth incredibly valuable
>Spanish get combat bonus against natives, and the crown will only take the tax rate from plundered treasure instead of half
>France gets slower growth of hatred from the natives, which is worthless since they will still grow to hate you and attack you even if you trade with them and give them regular gifts, and better chances of treaties with other world powers, which is also worthless since they will gladly declare war on you even if you severely overpower them
Unless you are bored of the game on the hardest difficulty, I can see no reason to play as the French in Colonization. In a way, the four world powers are another difficulty setting. Dutch for easy, England and Spain for medium, and France for hard.

Yuna and tidus were so cringy I wish I could have deleted both of them entirely, and they can take kimhari too. FFX is spoiled for choice when it comes to picking a shitty character, but wakka doesn't even crack top 5.

Having an actively racist party member could have made for some decent drama if it wasn't handled so retarded.

No way, Rapp was great. He's the only one of the final party who isn't some stereotypical chosen one. He's a brat in places, sure, but he's a pretty great character by the end.

Guido on the other hand was more or less completely superfluous.

[Anonymous No.4629934]

>>4629795

Justin wasn't a destined chosen one. He earned the spirits respect so they CHOSE him based on that. And all Liete was ever meant to do was sit there and watch, her actually going proactive was a huge turn of events. Feena is really the only one you can call chosen and that's more due to genealogy than prophecy. And Guido provided a lot support when Liete was in space and even then gave Justin a lot of worthwhile advice. The only one Id call truly superfluous would be Milda because her big contribution was introducing the party to her husband who provided information and the party probably could have met him without her, but she's cool and it was good to have a fourth.

The Grandia games are actually really good in general about keep the party balance sufficiently motivated and relevant

But that's the thing about racism, anon. It's supposed to be retarded. Your brother goes to war and dies, you're going to pick whatever reason to blame literally anyone so you can have some form of revenge. It never makes sense.

I also hate Wakka but the racism part was done well enough. As he got to know Rikku he got over it so, yeah. FFX has an abysmal story and terrible fucking writing but this subplot is kind of alright.
