Worst Final Fantasy protagonist

Don't tell me you didnt want to bitch slap Snow more than any other character in the FF universe.

Snow was annoying but Snow isn't a legit protagonist, if we are just naming characters, I'd throw out Cait Sith, Gau, Gogo, Irvine, Wakka, etc.

The fact that Squall isn't winning this poll is one of the many reasons there is something wrong this generation of gamers... and the reason Twilight made stupid amount of money.

Nah Squall was awesome, those characters before ff10 were all great because there was no voice acting, even if they said some cliche lines in your head you could make them sound way less corny.

Excluding the Gunblade how exactly was Squall awesome? Because I remember him whining and acting like jerk more for about half of the game while people gravitated toward his anti social self for no reason.

Granted, I felt him and Rinoa deserved one another because I found her the perfect punishment for such a emo pretty boy so obviously trying to capture the magic Square soft found with Cloud. Vaan, I barely consider a main character but even he had more redeeming characteristics in regards to personality and game play then I found with Squall.Anyone 

Anyone catch the irony in this Noirguy's posts? Based on his emo sounding-whining and jerkish posts towards the gamer generation, he's a living breathing version of the caricature he has drawn up for Squall. Only, without the gunblade =P

Actually, I was similar to Squall growing up, which is why I after I had gotten over that stuff I and saw it in the protagonist I don't get how people can't look at him as one of the worst leads, that sort of behavior even with him turning it around is such a waste of time. Especially given it has been handled better with previous characters like Cloud and Kain in the Final Fantasy series alone.

Although how you view my old man rant and knocking the story for FFVIII as being some how similar to Squall makes me suspect there is probably an age/taste gap thing here. Meh, none of the main protagonists have ever been my favorite characters in Final Fantasy games but obviously one person's treasure is another person's trash. Just surprised so many actually consider Squall NOT the later.
