I was looking at Final Fantasy stuff on Wikipedia yesterday and I looked down at their other FF pages section, and it's straight up unhinged what FF things have wiki pages. The only FF5 protag worth mentioning is Faris??? FF7 has a page for fucking CAIT SITH, but not for Red XIII, which is so rude. - ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

I guess Faris is significant as being implied as being vaguely nonbinary or gender fluid?

People in my chat decided that's the reason Dion is the only one with FFXVI article, too. Queer rep.

And yes, I agree, Faris is some kind of genderqueer coded, so that's one of the big reasons (her Critical Reception section is like 1/2 of her article), it's just funny she gets it and not Galuf.

I think the one that really got me though is FFXIV. The only character with a unique wiki page from that game is Hildibrand.

Fucking HILDIBRAND?!

Wiki editors are the DORKIEST people and will knife fight if they think something isn't noteworthy enough, and they decided HILDIBRAND is the only one.

This is my own personal wikipedia pet peeve. Every single wrestling ppv has a blurb that is something like this. Very rarely do I see anything actually describing the storylines that went into the show. That and some editor decided wrestlers having a list of all their moves was no longer needed.

The Warrior of Light? Emet-Selch? ANY of the Scions, any one at ALL? Nope. None of them are important. We know who the REAL main character of FFXIV is.

A guy you meet... I think a single time on the main series quests. Or maybe not, I think you just meet his dad. It's been a while.

I love this.

I mean I support Faris being more important than the other 5 protagonist. However you read her, she is gender non-conforming as fuck and a badass while doing it.
