Okay, so I have REAL LIFE THINGS I need to do, but I've read half way through imadra_blue's piece, and hot damn, she's saying everything I've ever felt. I mean, I'm trying really damn hard to imagine Rinoa as the hero of VIII, but the game's plot is making that very, very difficult.
Yes, there are absolutely really terrible problems with how women are portrayed in FF games.
That said, I'm playing through X-2 right now, and I'm really happy that Yuna is getting to sorta be the women she wants to be? I mean, this second half is her story, and I think that that makes an excellent second act to the first game, which was Tidus' story.
Anyways, more thoughts on this later, when REAL LIFE has left me alone for a moment.
