It's not fair.. (cloud and lightning)

I liked that he wasn't brooding and didn't start out as a selfish a-hole, like Cloud and Squall. He actually helped people, even though he was a thief/conspirator in a kidnapping, because he was a genuinely good guy, versus Cloud, who was being paid by AVALANCHE and had to see some sh*t before shaping up, and Squall, who was an anti-social child-soldier-for-hire with abandonment issues.

Cloud...I think the first few minutes of the game, yeah, but consider where you start the game...in Midgar slums, where everyone is a shady a-hole. He's well-tempered to majority of the characters in the game. At least, he's waaaay nicer to Yuffie than i'd have ever been. I'd have stolen all my stuff back and beat her ass.

Squall on the other hand was very much an a-hole. But, that's really just part of his character. But FF8 actually shares Squall's thoughtstream with the player, something I can't recall any other FF title doing, so you get specifics behind his a-holeness, which come full circle over the course of the game in a really interesting way. I hold FF8 in high regard specfically for making me hate a character so much, before actually having empathy for him.

(Not to say that I don't like Cloud or Squall but they were both a-holes.)

Cloud wasn't like that when you played Crisis Core...I think.
Zidane is the first FF male/main that had a real sunny personality...a fun one. He turned the tides with all the either
emo, serious, gloom and doom attitudes like Cloud and Squall, the rest had no personality.
A very fun character and game, he has one of my fave outfits, Zidane I mean.
Tidus was a hit or miss lol.

Well Bartz was a cool dude too lol.

I've only played the first level of Crisis Core but if he is anything like he was in his childhood, he was just as much a loner with delusions of superiority.

To be fair, my distaste of zidane might be just slightly unreasonable and even I admit he got a bit cooler towards the end of the game.

Give it time. We are in the second year of ARR, I am sure in time you will see many glamour outfits from other Final Fantasy titles during this game's lifetime. While XIV is it's own game, it is also a fan service title as well. There are numerous characters that all were important in their respective titles. I was actually surprised they even had included Cloud's AC outfit into the game, but this merely opens the doors for future character outfits. Currently available are Snow, Lightning, Cloud and Setzer. Techincally the Warrior of Light from FF1 as well if you consider the tank set from LotA paired with the Helm of Light.

I can see us getting other outfits in the future. We don't need to have them all "Now! Now! Now!"

[Felis]

I hope Zidane outfit will be "tail owners only" (Miqo'te and Au Ra ) ^^

[CGMidlander]

Squall's outfit pls

[gamesmart]

I'd be down for this if it came with his weapons.

[HakuroDK]

Considering they announced Cecil's Helm as a bonus item for Heavensward's CE, I'd like to see the whole attire released later on.

Though as a personal request, I would like a dyable variant of Exdeath's Armor as a tank.
