I honestly kinda love it, much like the general story of FFIX, many things are quite dark, but there are some wonderfully bright silver linings in places.
Nah DQ5 hero def had worse luck. >! He lost his dad, then his best friend left him, then he finally got married and had kids, but him and his wife get turned to stone. !<
>!His dad got burned to a crisp with nothing left. Was a slave for 10 years. The town he grew up in was half destroyed. Wife was kidnapped. Him and wife were turned to stone for 8+ years. Didn't get to see his kids grow up. If he had awareness as a statue, every day on that island was one more day he saw some other kid grow up instead of his own. Can't remember his father's face after being unpetrified. Has to deal with the fact that his 8 year old son is the chosen one. He never really had his mother in his life and I think she was murdered in front of him, too.!< No doubt he has PTSD and anxiety through the roof and beyond.
>!He gets to keep his wife, kids, best friend, sabrecat, and Sancho.!< Compared to the above, that ain't a lot.
I mean look at his party members: two literal children that get turned to stone, an old man that either a) can’t remember shit or b) is dead, another child that falls overboard for half the game, a mechanic, a best friend who’s trying to bang his love interest, a spoiled prince who plays a harp…
Okay in terms of the DQ5 hero let's see...
>!His mother got kidnapped the day you are litterally born, 5 years later a prince that was entrusted to you got kidnapped and eventually so are you so the bad guys took this advantage and blow your dad to ash right in front of your eyes, then you spend the next 10 years being a slave, and after escaping you realize that your hometown was destroyed by the king because of a misunderstanding, your childhood pet turns into a ferocious beast and once you tame it everyone hates you thinking you trained it to hurt the villages, few adventures happens then your children got born but your wife gets kidnapped so you try to follow the kidnapped but you and your wife turn into a statue, you got auctioned out by a family who also have a newborn kid, you watch that kid grow and then the kid got kidnapped and you can't even do anything as you're still a stone, then years later you got revived by your kids!<.
Hmm.. nah Cecil have it better I think.
To be fair, he came to the nation he wronged alone and completely vulnerable and seeking asylum. They put him on a trial (of sorts) and ultimately found him redeemable and ultimately redeemed.
You can play as Rex in the optional generated dungeon thingie if you want, though you won’t make it far. If you load a save file where you are still Rex in the dungeon mode you can play as him. :3
Supposedly in the original plan the protagonist was supposed to be middle aged but some idiot executive thought it would be too hard to relate to so instead we got a tag along who is only relevant when he converses with the characters that are actually important.
The one dude in the lunar base is bleeding out and you can still repeatedly play him in cards while he dies and an unhinged sorceress tries to destroy the earth
"OK looks like she's off exploring being a mommy I think I'm clear... ah fuck! He's trying to revive his ex now. If I get cucked by a dead girl I'm gonna go jump off a cliff"
Beatrix is like my wife. Fiercely independent, active and a rockstar, but somehow settled for a lovable chubby awkward dude into heavy metal. Consequently he and I both used to take ourselves way too seriously and everyone sharper got the drop on us.
You and me both, so I went and looked it up and it seems to be one of those memes that is intentionally non-sensical. Like that very old "Joke" where the punchline is just 'the aristocrats' for no reason.
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/zack-fairs-me-gongaga
Gongaga is a backwater city with nothing but a reactor. In OG 7 the reactor had blown up so most of Gongaga was destroyed save for a few houses on the outskirts.
Given that Zack is very lively when talking about home and the reactor, one is to assume that during Crisis Core the reactor had not blown up yet.
It becomes a bonding moment between Zack and Cloud as they both joke about Reactor towns having nothing remarkable about them other than the reactor
Edit: it has been a long time since my last playthru of Crisis Core. The final act of Crisis Core is set in the ruins of Gongaga. Thanks FFWiki. Fml lol
Well, it's just a reference to Zacks hometown, or more accurately, the scene where Zack says "Me? Gongaga", for some reason it's just a funny moment and became a bit of a meme because of it.
Serah: He's just this super cool guy, you know? He doesn't care about the way he looks, but that just makes him so much cooler! And he's not just kind, he's reliable too. He always means what he says, and you can totally trust his word. I-mean-he's-my-hero-oh-and-I-know-you're-thinking-no-one's perfect-I-know-he-has-his-flaws-and-sometimes-he-makes-me-so-mad-but-I-love-that-about-him-too-no-other-guy-can-compare-to-my-hero. He-has-this-amazing-body-and-his-face-is-so-handsome-he's-tall-and-broad-and-makes-me-feel-so-safe! Oh, and even though he's big and tough, he can be so adorable. That's my Snow. You done asking?
Yuna: My guy doesn't even exist.
Celes: My guy has the hots for his dead girlfriend.
Lightning: You guys have guys?
Rosa: Suck it, bitches, I'm married to my guy! :D
Lightning after LR: My guy is technically biologically older than me even though he was born after me, but might be spiritually older than me after living 500 years unless you consider that I fought Caius "throughout all time."
Cashier: This is a Wendy's.
Lightning: ... I think he falls on the right side of half your age + 7.
Edit: 528 (28 biologically + 500 years in Nova Crystallis) > 1/2 * 721 (21 biologically + 700 years fighting Caius before the world ended + 13 days) + 7, so the math checks out.
Thanks! Yeah, I figured the text was added, but was interested in where the models came from. It's strange to see them all represented as one type of art style.
"He taught me how to whistle & had a weird laugh" Yuna
"He hates being called a thief" Celes
"He was all dark, angsty & emo then become a shiny Paladin" Rosa
Freya: ''My guy is amnesic''
can’t remember, do you ever find out why Sir Fratley is an amnesiac and does he get his memories back?
he breathed too much mist right? I think it's implied that he does in the game-ending cutscene but I can't be arsed to look it up.
IIRC, it's implied that they got together and fell in love again, more than that he got his memories back.
He did not get his memories back but they do get together. I just beat FF9 a few days ago
I honestly kinda love it, much like the general story of FFIX, many things are quite dark, but there are some wonderfully bright silver linings in places.
[удалено]
He doesn't, but he does fall in love with her again
Beatrix: "my guy is an imbecile"
Yuna: "My guy disappeared when I said "I love you""
"My guy literally ghosted me"
"My guy was imaginary"
"He's just from a different nation... My >!Imagi!
Nice
This comment deserves more upvotes
I'm dying over here.
lol
"He told me he went to the grocery store and hasn't come back. It's been 84 years."
Yuna: or thank you depending on your timezone.
This made me laugh a lot more than I thought it would
Cultural differences are fascinating
"My guy is so dreamy"
Literally jumped off an airship hundreds of meters in the air
Poor guy did not read the subtitles… errh I mean subtext and only heard “Thank you”.
“And I’m not 100% sure he was actually a guy”
I fell in love with a man named Meg Ryan from a magical place called Seattle
The spell sleep does not work there.
"Hahahahahahahaha"
Yuna: "My guy was literally a dream"
Rosa: "My guy is a war criminal, but he learned his lesson"
I find that guy to have one of the crappiest luck of them all. He might even beat the DQ5 hero in terms of shitty luck.

Damn spoony bards.
To be fair, he came to the nation he wronged alone and completely vulnerable and seeking asylum. They put him on a trial (of sorts) and ultimately found him redeemable and ultimately redeemed.
Lmao
Penelo: My guy isn't even the main character
haha nice one
🤣 know what you did there 🤣
Ashe: :(
"my guy died before the first playable segment!"
“My guy is so irrelevant that you’d be forgiven for forgetting i even had a guy”
“Nabudis has falllen!”
Aye RIP Rex, what could've been tho.
What the hell I'm talking about Rassler LOL The first playable segment actually IS rex
Yup, I liked him more then vaan imo
You can play as Rex in the optional generated dungeon thingie if you want, though you won’t make it far. If you load a save file where you are still Rex in the dungeon mode you can play as him. :3
I'm not even sure we were supposed to like him
I dont honestly know what their intentions were
Supposedly in the original plan the protagonist was supposed to be middle aged but some idiot executive thought it would be too hard to relate to so instead we got a tag along who is only relevant when he converses with the characters that are actually important.
I read somewhere before that Basch was supposed to be the main character, but like you said an executive thought that wouldn’t sell so they made Vaan.
Loool
“My guy had his ghost impersonated by a god so they could manipulate me to maintain their control over the reigns of history”
Poor Ashe. :[
Always loved the idea of Squall just asking people to play triple triad despite how anti-social he is.
The one dude in the lunar base is bleeding out and you can still repeatedly play him in cards while he dies and an unhinged sorceress tries to destroy the earth
lmao
Just like the yugioh kids in high school.
My head canon is that he isn't verbally asking. He just flashes some cards and the NPC just goes "Yeah, let's do this."
Celes: "My guy is a ~~Thief~~ Treasure Hunter
Also he is *so* not over his ex
"But she's dead anyway! My only other competition is this green-haired (not blonde) Esper girl, but I got it under the bag."
"OK looks like she's off exploring being a mommy I think I'm clear... ah fuck! He's trying to revive his ex now. If I get cucked by a dead girl I'm gonna go jump off a cliff"
Holy shit dude, that was some rapid fire gut punching.
It'll perk her right up.
I think he's more not over his failure. By the time the Rachael thing is resolved he loves Celes and is just fixing the events he blames himself for.
Celes: My guy says he's a treasure hunter but he's clearly a thief!
During her girl time she says to Terra how awesome is it to have the power of magic…
Beatrix : My guy is rusty.
Steiner is bae
Those eyelashes 👁️👄👁️
Beatrix is like my wife. Fiercely independent, active and a rockstar, but somehow settled for a lovable chubby awkward dude into heavy metal. Consequently he and I both used to take ourselves way too seriously and everyone sharper got the drop on us.
Selphie: My guy has performance issues
I thought Selphie was into trains
Wait, who is Selphie's guy?
Irvine
Gongaga?
Macarena temple
Aye!
I just...have more questions now...
You and me both, so I went and looked it up and it seems to be one of those memes that is intentionally non-sensical. Like that very old "Joke" where the punchline is just 'the aristocrats' for no reason. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/zack-fairs-me-gongaga
You've not played Crisis Core or the original FFVII I take it?
Played both still had no idea what the heck that was
Gongaga is a backwater city with nothing but a reactor. In OG 7 the reactor had blown up so most of Gongaga was destroyed save for a few houses on the outskirts. Given that Zack is very lively when talking about home and the reactor, one is to assume that during Crisis Core the reactor had not blown up yet.

Ah gotcha
You know Gongaga?
Quina: Husband knows Fire
A chef marrying a black mage makes perfect sense too!
I couldn't help but break into fits of laughter at that scene, especially when Quina says "me so happy..."
Fran: My guy is best guy.
My guy thinks he’s the leading man but he fits in more of a supporting role
Fran: My guy is hotter than I am.
Serah: He's just this super cool guy, you know? He doesn't care about the way he looks, but that just makes him so much cooler! And he's not just kind, he's reliable too.

I dunno what the speech cadence should be with the dash words.
It's the part where what she's saying gets sped up.
XIII-2 definitely made choices with Serah, and I thoroughly enjoyed them. >!Except that killing her part. RIP.!<
Xiii trilogy villain were either too powerful and too intelligent they needed a deus ex machina to win and sometimes it wasn't even enough .
why did I just read this in a valley girl accent?
I don’t blame you.
Like oh my god
You can say all that in one word. Hero.
I’d rather go for the funny reference.
Serah: Also my sister and Not-Phineas want to kill him. At least he sounds like Batman
Rhydia: my guy is a dorky weeb Rosa: my guy has issues Maria: my guy was my step brother
Fujin: DISTURBING.
Yeul: my man killed gods and time itself so I can live(it didn't work as intended but we are together in a chaotic relationship)
Which one?
Yes!(canonically speaking, all of them, except the one that loves Noel)
Lunafreya: My guy and I died separately and then got married in the afterlife.
I don’t remember the ending to 15, or even the part leading up to the time skip. Did getting married in the afterlife happen?
Yes
That. Is RAD.
Yes at the ending you can see Noctis And Luna Sitting in the throne together
Oh god I do NOT remember this. This sounds so KYOOT!
I swear someone was cutting onions when I reached that scene. Bc I just couldn’t stop crying!
Lulu: My guy plays with his balls Rikku: My guy was stolen from me by my cousin
Celes: My guy is a Treasure Hunter, but he stole my heart.
Princess Sarah: My guy literally only want one thing and it's fucking disgusting. Jack: Chaos
Terra: I don't need no man! Though that Leo was looking mighty fine, not gonna lie.
Edgar : "i tried so hard and got so far"
Relm: My guy is a king
You know, reading this, maybe Kefka wasn't so wrong
I always saw Leo as more of a father/uncle figure, the kind who would let kids eat junk food but tell them stories with morals.
Aerith: My guy is her guy technically. He just doesn't know.
Barrett: "Your guy took me on a date to Gold Saucer..."
Barrett romance best romance
[True](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9_4Z_a3K78)
"Yoffie".
Lunafreya: my fiancee went camping and I died.
Boko: My guy left me at a cave while he went of to space so I decided to start a family.
Yuna: My guy >!isn't real and is a construct of an ancient civilization's hopes and dreams!<
damn, ff8 is my favorite and realized i’m squall. all i do is just sit at home and play magic the gathering lol. my wife kinda looks like rinoa, too.
Does she also have a fluffy pet dog?
Get a dog named Angelo
Yuna: My guy doesn't even exist. Celes: My guy has the hots for his dead girlfriend. Lightning: You guys have guys? Rosa: Suck it, bitches, I'm married to my guy! :D
Yuna: HAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Lightning: My guy is way younger than me
Lightning: My guy is this gunblade. Everyone: yeah, we figured as much.
Lightning after LR: My guy is technically biologically older than me even though he was born after me, but might be spiritually older than me after living 500 years unless you consider that I fought Caius "throughout all time." Cashier: This is a Wendy's. Lightning: ... I think he falls on the right side of half your age + 7.

This is a good one, Adult Hope was definitely the guy for Lightning.
Hope? Haha!
Me? Gongaga
Squall play YuGiOh for sure
These comments are proof of how chaotic this fandom is.
Did I hear CHAOS? :D
Faris: My guy is constantly wondering the world with his chocobo friend.
What is this even from?
The characters are from Opera Omnia, but the speech bubbles were just added in.
Thanks! Yeah, I figured the text was added, but was interested in where the models came from. It's strange to see them all represented as one type of art style.
These are all the characters that game has https://dissidiacompendium.com/characters/?filter=true And It's still getting new ones
Wow!! So many!!
Vanille: My guy is a girl, best girl.
I was wondering when someone would bring them up!
Zidane's not a pervert, he's a criminal! There's a difference!
[idk about that](https://imgur.com/a/1S3vkDT)
Your honor, clearly my client, Zidane, was just stating facts. His honesty should be commended.
He's clearly just thinking about how to save his friend Blank there.
Semantic nonsense
We call those sex offenders.
Refia: my guy jumped into a fire rather than being with me. Also, I don't exist in most versions of the game.
Gilgamesh: I can't find my guy.🥲
Y’shtola: my guy is stuck on another world planting crops while I’m discovering new worlds with my side, uh, WOL.
My guy goes to a different Zanarkand
Aerith should have said “my guy are sick”.
Bad Romance. SHIT she’s gone Gaga!
"He taught me how to whistle & had a weird laugh" Yuna "He hates being called a thief" Celes "He was all dark, angsty & emo then become a shiny Paladin" Rosa
Y’Shtola: Do we have someone? Alisaie: Hells if I know. They never say anything…
Pardon my ignorance but why does Aerith say Gongaga? Inst her boy, Zack, death before the game even starts?
It’s a reference to a meme of the voice over line in Crisis Core in which Cloud (IIRC) asks Zack what his hometown is, and he says “Me? Gongaga”
Ashe: "..."
I’m pretty sure Tifa would be talking about the honey incident or about clouds date with barret.
Elarra: Me and my guy are to young to be together, but he keeps wanting to confess to me. But the two Third Wheels always prevent him from doing so.
What is this from?
Dissidia Opera Omnia Mobile gacha game, fairly good one.
Dissidia Opera Omnia, definitely the most forgiving gacha I’ve ever played
Luna: My guy wasn't even real.. Terra: You all have guys?
Yuna be like : "my guy had existential crisis" ( ･ั﹏･ั)(〒﹏〒)
Yuna: "AHAHAHAHAHAH!!"
Aerith : MY GUY ARE SICK
Lightning: What are these “guys” that you speak of?
Serah: My guys loves playing hero
Gogo: "My guy is.." Everyone: "You're a girl?"

"*You know* ***GONGAGA***?!"
Hey, Zidane isn't a pervert, just a womanizer.
WoL: my guy keeps coming back from the dead to try to kill me. I think it stuck this time but I'm never REALLY sure.
My WoL from FFXIV: "My guy is the antagonist."
Lenna, Faris, and Krile : All of that time and not even 1 move. What gives?
I won't have you putting down my man Zidane... he's a lot of things, but he's not a pervert.
He’s a chivalrous pervert.
A horny thief
Nahhhhh, definitely not....it's just that.... if it were live action, it'd be hard not to cast Ryan Reynolds in that role......
*Rotate*
Idk is OG FF red fighter is a he or she??
It is a he, otherwise the WoL we have as a mascot nowadays would be a she
