Cloud was nowhere near as stupid as Squall or Vaan

Though I prefer Locke or Zidane as MCs. Especially Z. was refreshing after those two dumbasses before him...

Btw. Cloud is a great example of a very specific...errr thing in JRPGing. Things that are written are not as stupid as if they were spoken. Just look over to 10 or 13.
One of the things that makes 13 as horribly bad as it is is the spoken text. You just don´t SAY these things. It´s okay if they appear as text but once someone says words like that it kind of crosses a line for me and becomes cheesy and bad, embarassing even.

12 on the other hand...12 had two problems. The Cast and the Story. First the story. It´s political and war-ish. While that works most excellently for Suikoden games, it doesn´t for FF, I expect something grand there and 12 didn´t deliver any of that. It was sluggish and dumb. Second, the cast. Vaan is the WORST character in a FF game ever. There, I said it. He is worse than Hope, worse than Vanille, worse than Yuna. Why? Because he´s the fucking main character.
It doesn´t work, he´s a 5-year old barechested vest-wearing rascal and that is...just horrible. Honestly, I never finished the game or played further than about 30% because of this one design-choice. Had they made Bash the MC and the story about him, I would´ve played the shit out of that game.

Oh and the License-system was stupid as hell, but the battlesystem in general was good

I guess Vaan was added kinda last minute to appeal more to(I don't know who....but someone) and the main char was supposed to be sword guy(the one with the twin.

Then you got to play as Zack.
