Zidane in FFIX
Tranced Zidane Tribal (please log in to view the image)
The protagonist of Final Fantasy IX. Playful and flirtatious, Zidane displays little of the sullenness associated with previous Final Fantasy protagonists. Zidane has shoulder-length blonde hair tied w/a ponytail and a prehensile monkey-like tail, as witnessed in game when Zidane hangs from his tail to evade Steiner. In trance form Zidane's hair becomes longer, and his clothing is replaced with thick fur covering his body. It is not revealed whether or not he has fur under his clothing when not in trance form. Zidane is identified as a thief.
Zidane began his life as an "Angel of Death" as a Genome on the planet Terra, having been created by a being named Garland. Due to circumstances, he was cast down to Gaia, and was adopted by Baku. He left home at an early age, becoming a drifter, a thief, and a womanizer.
Zidane becomes involved in a scheme by Tantalus to kidnap Princess Garnet of Alexandria. The kidnapping was set up by the ruler of Lindblum, Regent Cid. The point of the kidnapping was to get Garnet away from Alexandria, and her increasingly warlike adoptive mother, Queen Brahne.
During the events in the game, Zidane slowly falls in love with Princess Garnet. Though he is separated from her near the end, there is a joyful reunion in the closing part of the game.

Zidane vs Kuja in Dissidia

I always liked Zidane because he was the exact opposite of Cloud & Squall(Not that I hate them or anything but the change was needed) I also loved whenever he grabbed Dagger's ass. I know I would've done the same in his position.

Zidane was a good break from the borderline-emo introverts/snooty effiminate prettyboys that plague JRPG's as the protagonists. I was pleasently surprised to hear that he was a playable character in Dissidia. No doubt I'll use him first and probably the most, if I ever ge a chance at playing the game.
