She represents the start of really bad Nojima characters post FFVII. I mean Yuffie kicked it off, but Selphie really really represented really badly written and knowingly campy/unserious characters.

Nojima is the cancer of final fantasy, him and Kitase need to go so badly. Yoshida should be the head of FF now. Bring Matsuno back aswell. We need mature writing and need to move away from the campy BS anime crap. Stick to the historical dark fantasy Matsuno and Yoshida do. We dont need anime generic fantasy Kitase and Nojima do.

I don't like any of the characters from FFVIII. If I do, the annoying one's are too prominent for me to be able to realize it.

hell of a lot more useful than Penelo. If it wasn't for Vaan I'd argue Penelo was the worst main character in the franchise.

Her animations were actually really good so gameplay-wise she was actually solid.

Though Umaro is always going to be the worst FF protag ever.

Umaro's more of an optional character though. You could go the entire game without him, GoGo or Mog.

I never got far into FF8, but from the part I did play I liked Selphie. I liked how kinda unhinged and gung-ho she was.

And Penelo isn't the main character of XII either, she's merely a protag.

And you can only go the game without Gogo. Mog is playable at the very beginning, and Umaro has scenes that happen in the World of Balance prior to being playable. Similarly the act of being optional doesn't really change whether or not they are a crappy protag: crappy writing and crappy gameplay do.

I mean, I dunno if I'd say it makes me cool. Badass is probably more fitting.

Problem with Penelo isn't that she exists, but that she and Vaan are given preferential treatment over characters who should be more centrally focused on.

Squall and Rinoa clearly take center stage in FF8 as they should, so Selphie is fine. In fact, Selphie is the only tolerable party member in FF8.
