She's incredibly passive, does nothing, gets totally debilitated by the Standard Female Grab Area and is effectively the damsel-in-distress, which is a character trope so overused, outdated, uncreative and sexist that it just blows my friggin' mind that a modern writing team even thought it was a good idea.
Thancred is the stereotypical anime/manga white-haired pretty boy. Smarmy, full of himself, annoying as all get out and thinks he's the dog's bollocks. I don't get why people like him either!
Papalymo and Yda are... well, they're kinda fun. I'll give them a pass, though Yda's the standard Yuffie/Selphie/Penelo manic-pixie-dream-girl character that virtually all Final Fantasy games have... meh.
Y'shtola, now she's a whole 'nother story. Classy, lovely, powerful, smart, knowledgeable and gets shit done. Clearly she is the best!
I'm sorry, what was that? I couldn't hear you over the sound of my own drooling over Minfilia.
Why do I not have a Minfilia banner to wave for no good reason?!
