Does Zidane deserve the title "Most annoying main-protagonist in Final Fantasy history" ?

[Freygeist]

I'd say 60/40.

60 for absolutely yes !

No...I think he is the best main-character of the series after Cloud maybe...
The most annoying is Cecil in FFIV and the worst is Vaan in FFXII with Bartz of FFV...FFVI has no main-protagonist and every character ( Like in FFIX) is well done...Tidus in FFX is a bad-copy of ZIdane...

I think that Cloud and Zidane are the best main-characters of the series, they're different but both has a profond meaning...Zidane represent the contrast with fear of death, main theme of FFIX, and he represents the way we have to live for the authors of the game...Cloud, well, it doesn't need to be explained I think..

honestly zidane feels real and authentic to me. This might be a difference to other annoying main protagonists

I agree...Cecil Squall and Cloud are good characters but they became annoying...Tidus is a good character but he is an idiot...
Vaan and Bartz are ridicolous so...

Zidane is different, he is pure and sincere and he represents the contrast with fear of death...He is simple, but well done..
Just Locke and Edgar of FFVI are similar to Zidane, end they are great characters..
Indeed, FFIX and VI are the best Final fantasy for this reason too...Those two games have the best cast of the series..
FFVII is not bad, but the playeble-characters are not depthed..They're to much..

I like Zidane quite a bit actually. Off hand I haven't hated characters in the series, though Snow was really annoying for a while in FFXIII for me, but grew on me.

All of the PSX FF games have kinda crappy protagonists, particularly the emo & whiny Cloud & Squall. Zidane is the least worst of the three.

[Freygeist]

understandable, but hard judgement

[spooking]

he's very annoying, and I couldn't expect less of a 16 year old monkey dude. but it's not like the other heroes from the saga are any better. squall and cloud were emo and whiny, as said above; bartz was kinda pointless; cecil was somewhat ok; i would choose vaan as the best of them all.

Zidane is not even close to Tidus regarding being annoying,

Vaan is the worst main character of videogames-story

Zidane is most likable hero of FF series, he is very lax, and take things in stride, He doesn't brood around or whine about ♥♥♥♥ or try to make it out like he's some badass. He ♥♥♥♥♥ up and he calls himself on it, he has flaws and is quick to point them out himself. I like Zidane for these reasons, it's the same reason Zack is a more well developed character then Cloud was, because he wasn't broody about it or an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Believe it or not the edgy heroes are often the worst characters... which is why Zidane is such a great character! That said people like edgey, and tend to dislike non-edgy which is why Zidane isn't as well liked over charcters like cloud, or *shudders* squall...

Good thing Zidane isn't the main protagonist hey? No character in 9 is, this is officially stated by square and been argued over and over... the FIRST time the game came out. He is just, a character and nothing more.

[Kaldarasha]

100 for Lightning.

[Zunnoab #931]

Cloud really is not broody for the vast majority of FFVII. The first version of Advent Children and people repeating it over and over is my only guess as to where that came from.

While I like Zidane I'm not on board the "characters having emotion means broody and whiney" train though.

Hey Dwight. I appreciate every opinion, even your petty ones. Isn't that great?
