I used to think Waka was useless but at least he ends up with the big-tittied goth mommy. How would you fix Barret as a character?

No one cares about male characters desu unless they are MC. I don't see any discussion about Red XIII, Cid or Caith Sid either. People only discuss Cloud, Zack and maybe Vincent(due to Dirge of Cerberus).

Vincent was talked about even before his spinoff which is why he got a spinoff. People also talked about Cid a ton, I remember people would make threads on him all the time.

Red XIII and Caith Sid I agree but they're not people. I feel like Barrett is supposed to be a main side kick but doesn't even get kino fans.

I mean he is just comic relief and with the new translation and revamp he lost the Mr. T traits which just makes him bland. Cloud has the weird schizo shit, Vincent has the crazy ass cuckold backstory, Red XIII is a dog, and Zack had the tragic ass story with one of the best endings in the series.

Barrett has regret that isn't foreshadowed or focused in on hard enough and, if you don't pursue it, he doesn't have a lot of 1-on-1 time with Cloud and male-bonding talk is rare to see and FF7 doesn't do it well in either the OG or remake.

That's why he comes off as bland.

Funny characters are usually the most liked though. You'd think the jokes would make him a fan favorite but he's anything but.

Yeah I feel like it's his look, if he was a bit leaner he might be more well-respected

It's funny cause Cid curses more than Barret does. He is super angry blue-collar white guy but yeah people don't care about him either.

I think cause there's a Cid in every FF game so they just see him as "obligatory Cid"

Cid is funny at first but doesn't really bring anything to the party other then a ride.

He also gets changed because domestic abuse.

Although I think their only a couple by the sequel.

He's Tidus' big brother figure until Auron shows up. After that, he's meant to represent the feelings of religious piousness and intolerance that many people in Spira feel, but which is actually quite rare among the playable characters themselves. Tidus is an outsider. Rikku is a heretic. Auron of course knows there's all sorts of sketchy shit going on and that the 'religion' as an institution is highly suspect. Yuna's mixed heritage means she only pays lip service to the minutiae of the church and focuses mostly on her quest. Kimahri is loyal to Yuna, not Yevon. Lulu is perhaps the second most pious member of the group, but she doesn't wear it on her sleeve and after being a Guardian on a pair of failed pilgrimages, she's more jaded about it than Wakka.

It's interesting how the whole game is basically "religion, bad" but then in X-2 Yuna dresses like a slut, showing how important religion is and what happens to a society when that breaks down.

That's my point. The Laughing Scene is a mitwit filter that immediately outs people with no media literacy. Or people who just watched a YouTube video and jumped on the bandwagon.

Conversely, saying FFX is "religion bad" is stupid. FF games have always been about a group fighting against a world power that's been corrupted in some way. In the case of FFX the world power is a theocracy. It's not about "religion bad," Yevon just uses religion as their means to maintain control over everyone else. Hell the actual spirits that build the bedrock of most of their religious beliefs want this shit to end just as much as the heroes do. Every time I see FFX is about "religion bad" it makes me fucking itch.

That's wrong though. The entire game is about not letting yourself be chained by the past so that you can walk towards a better future. Yevon's corruption at the top was only a small portion of that overall story, and in both FFX and X-2 they acknowledged that Yevon's teachings have a place in the world when they aren't being jerked around by corrupt Maesters.

You can also debate whether or not the religion itself was bad, too. Because Yunalesca was pretty upfront about the reasons for the pilgrimage and that they were just staving off a terrible end by the hands of an unstoppable, immortal calamity that was conjured by the mass sacrifice of untold numbers of people.

What's there to fix? Most of the cast of VII don't do anything. Cid gets a whole section where he's the leader but it's largely irrelevant and leads to nothing.
I like the characters of VII but if you want to say Barret is 'ignored' or needs fixing, you might as well say that for the entire playable cast that isn't Aeris, Tifa or Cloud.

'Religion = bad' is a theme in a lot of FF games, but in X's case, the religion is also the world government (usually this takes the form of an 'evil empire' in most other FFs). The changes in X-2 are actually a logical exploration at how people would adapt to what amounted to the collapse of the world's government. Since it's not America, there's no looting and pillaging, and people peacefully choose various factions or explore their world as they try to find their way in it. Yuna's journey is the same thing as the rest of Spira, at a personal level. The life and destiny she'd trained and prepared for most of her life never happened. Even the life she may have lived with Tidus was no longer an option, so she was more adrift than pretty much anyone else in Spira. She takes the outfit Rikku gives her to try something new, but other than being a bit more assertive, she's basically the same person. A bit more willing to question, but still determined to blaze her own path despite being pulled from many directions as many in Spira look to her as a unifying figure. Her friends told her to spread her wings and experience new things, but she shrank from that, because for all the supposed freedom she now had, people were constantly on at her to take up the responsibility of governing the world. The revelation that 'Tidus' was still alive somewhere was the dream she had always envisioned being possible again, just a quiet life on Besaid with him.

If memory serves it goes by completion percentage. Spoilers ahead If you're below, say, 80% then you default to the "bad" end where Yuna accepts Tidus is gone and lives out her life. Above 80% and you'll have the option to whistle for Tidus at a certain part of the game. He'll whistle back and at the end Yuna will reunite with Tidus. At 100% you'll get the same scene but with an extra scene of Tidus theorizing how he's returned and expressing nervousness that this won't last. But Yuna affirms that they treasure the time they do have and the game ends..

I'll be honest, the 100% ending is not worth the effort it takes to get it. X-2 100% is notoriously difficult to get just because of how hyper specific it is. For example each cutscene counts towards 100%. You cannot skip any of them. You cannot skip a LINE OF DIALOGUE. Or you will have to go through the game again in NG+ with no idea what it was you missed to get that percent increase.

What this anon >>715134508 said. Also, it is possible to get 100% on a single playthrough, but only if you side with the Youth League. Siding with New Yevon can only achieve 99%, and then picking the Youth League on the NG+ will give you cumulative %, up to something like 103% iirc, since choosing each path opens up scenes unique to that path.
