I can't believe how upset I am about Cindy. Why couldn't it be Cidney or Sidney which are real names and match the fact that she's female Cid. This dumb detail is emblematic of my feelings for this game, that it nails the big picture but all the small details don't hold up under scrutiny. Maybe that's the downfall of all Final Fantasy games.

She is Cidney in Japan. Baka Gaijins wouldn't get it so they changed it for you.

She will change her name to Cidney in 15-2, when she goes on a road trip with Iris and Aranaea.

Please make that game, Square.

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

Noctis is cool, he just has the weight of the world on his shoulders and his girlfriend is Mother Teresa and his best friends are only there to keep him from dying so he can fulfill a family lineage of self sacrifice that will probably repeat again except he has no children so the family line kind of dies there and the dude is just 18 and his only hobby is fishing which he's pretty good at.

Noctis and Luke from Tales of the Abyss should start a support group and hang out. They'd probably be close friends.

Yeah Noctis gets a really raw deal in terms of FF protagonists. poor fucker is destined from the start for misery and has to face it even younger than his other ancestors, then loses 10 years off his life only to pretty much have it come to an end. it's one of the worst endings for any protagonist; even Cloud and Tidus had some kind of closure and managed to live on.
