you know, replaying ff9, Zidane feels a little less "dashing rogue" and a little more "sexual predator".

That's the way he always felt to me. Don't know why anyone liked him.

Because he's not Cloud or Squall, more or less.

He's overcompensating a lot because he's a stupid teenager. It doesn't forgive his lovely behavior, but at least he does mature from it later on.

I don't think grabbing one girl's butt makes one a sexual predator. It makes them a dumb, horny teenage boy. Other than that, Zidane is pretty clearly a huge flirt and nothing else. From what I remember, sexual predator describes Setzer more and even then that's off. He's clearly supposed to be some Casanova who women want to be with, just like Zidane.

Also Zidane was liked because he smiled a lot more and was friendlier than Cloud or Squall. That was considered amazing because two games in a row made everyone forget the previous six.

Then they kind of went overboard with Tidus. He was too loud and obnoxious.

I'll be honest I never use Quina either, beyond Gizmaluke's Grotto to Cleyra and then Fossil Roo, and I find the eat mechanic grating, so I don't generally pick up any skills for him/her except by chance

I mentioned it as an aside before, but if you toggle the abilities cheat with Quina in the party s/he gets all the blue magic. So if you don't mind a little cheating (and you can toggle it back off to not master abilities from future equipment), that's an option.

He also makes creepy comments about women who are knocked out and poo poo. He's a complete creepo (and 'dumb horny teenage boy' doesn't nullify 'being a creepo.') He gets better as the game goes on but he starts off as a pretty gross dude.

Also honestly "forget the previous six" doesn't work when 6 and 4 had angsty protagonists too, 3 and 1 had no-name characters and 2 barely had a personality. Butz is the exception honestly prior to Zidane.

Wait, what? I just replayed IX and don't remember him being around any knocked out girls except maybe Garnet but even then he's repulsed when Steiner accuses him of possibly doing something to her.

I thought about Cecil but really, he becomes a Paladin pretty fast and after that isn't really angsty. He barely has a personality at all, to be frank. Just kind of generic hero nice guy.

Yeah I don't think that happened. Clearly you meant to say Galuf and Bartz are horrible sex predators and should be castrated and jailed for life because they ogled Faris while she slept. Let's all take light-hearted games entirely too seriously!

I messed around with the 9999 cheat FF9 and it definitely doesn't give 100% steal but it does seem to improve it. I tried it on Black Waltz 3 and got "Couldn't Steal" about 5 times with it on before I gave up on the silver gauntlets.

"Couldn't steal" is a separate failure message from "Wasn't able to steal anything." The former is an accuracy check that involves character level and spirit. Equipping Bandit makes the game automatically succeed this roll, but ofc Marcus can't equip it. The latter is, the hit check passed but the rng check failed.

No see, Tellah was angry. That's entirely different.

There are certain acceptable ways to channel your distress. Anger is one of them. Being moody and self-doubting is not.

I read the Steam version of FFIX had character profiles and stuff that say Quina is 70 or 90 years old. That's all I got.

Also Amarant is human. He didn't look very human to me but oh well.

I don't buy into the "might as well watch an LP" argument. Never have. The speed at which I click through text, the way I absorb the environment and dialogue, the way I progress through the game is all uniquely mine.

That's a funny way of saying "I'd rather play the game with cheats then watch a dude narrate all on screen text in different voices with his mug in the bottom left of the screen."

Considering most "humans" in FFIX look like horrible gray-skinned zombie people, I'd believe it.
