Heya,
I'm just playing the 013 stories now and I was wondering which are the favorite stories of you guys. And are there any stories you find particularly cracky? :D
I think my favorite story was by far Tidus's. It made me really nostalgic and I love how it felt like a continuation or "what if..." story, where the conflict between Tidus and Jecht was resolved a bit differently. The new scenes in 012 regarding those two are awesome too. I also liked Zidane's story or at least the end in the final chapter (I mean that where you can play anyone, it's called something like "In the Shadow" in german, but I'm not sure about the english one XD) where he actually offers Kuja help. It's always great IMO when it feels like there is some new material. The biggest disappointment in that regard was Cloud's story, where they just repeat everything (though the rose made up for it a bit!). I also love stories where we get to see the crossover awesomeness of the guys traveling together (Zidane and Bartz :D ), but guess that goes without saying. XD Of course the storylines with characters we first get to see "alive" and talking are great, too.
Favorite crack stories are anything regarding the rose. But there are so many funny moments (Kain = real man), I just saw the cutscenes again where Cecil and Golbez are all for drama and brotherly love, lol. "I only fought him for you...", so cute. XD When I replayed Terra's story I was kinda annoyed what a damsel in distress she is, it didn't bother me when I played it in Dissidia, but it really sticks out in 012 where the other females are more kickass (except Yuna who became a whiny helpless character too at times =/ ). x3
Other deliberate funny scenes, mostly involving Laguna (like his leg cramp or the talk with Vaan, Onion Knight and Squall in the Phantom Train) are awesome too. x)
