I liked Shiva's comment in that other thread I started --

"Kimarhi, the quiet one that everyone always forgets."

It irked me that I never managed to level him up in a way that let me use him much; probably if I'd thrown him on Tidus' or Wakka's path, to have him complement Auron with speed, it would've worked better.

We tend to forget that he hasn't just protected Yuna since she was a child; he's also been there for Lulu (who is about the same age) and Wakka. They know and trust him, they've grown up with him, and I rather imagine that, being orphans and spending so much time with Yuna as a playmate, they probably look to Kimahri as an old friend, protector, and punching bag.

He's always been there for them. He's patient, stubborn, quiet, and intelligent. He understands Yuna as well as Lulu does. He respects Yuna's choices and doesn't dissuade her. He's just there for her, like a rock.

Kimahri's a good feller.



The other bit character in FFX I really liked was Rin. His unflappability when the ship came under attack appealled to me, as well as his quick assessment to Rikku "I believe you have found some good friends". He was just the guy you buy supplies from, but I made it a point to buy from him instead of anywhere else, because I had the feeling he wasn't just trying to make a quick buck (I could be mistaken) but was, in fact, trying to assist the world despite prejudice (a lot of those Inns were strategically placed for Summoners) and trying to use his proceeds on behalf of his own people to rebuild Home. Also, of course, he tried to save Auron's life.

Rin looked a bit silly swimming around in a trenchcoat, but he was a pretty good center in Blitzball!
