So Skyward Sword comes out in the US today so I thought I could post this thread now. Obviously, I have had the game for a couple of days now and already a common debate among my friends and I, is how 'annoying' Fi is. I've seen this mentioned on other sites and YouTube as well.
To be honest, I don't really find Fi annoying at all. She's similar to Midna in the way that she alerts you with a sound if there is something to tell you. Yes, some of the things she says are quite obvious, but she comes with a whole new range of information. She is very informative in quite a formal way. She uses quite formal words when addressing Link. Fi is quite a mysterious character and quickly finds Link and he becomes her Master. She provides you with play information, objectives, rumours, hints and play time. I find this useful; I don't see how this is annoying because if you don't need or want hints or objectives then you don't have to ask for them. She offers enough information and for younger players this is helpful (my brother has decided to play it and he loves Fi being able to help him when he gets stuck, because she doesn't tell him exactly what to do like a walk through.)
And we all know about Navi. I never found her insanely annoying, it was just the timing and sheer obviousness of what she was saying that was irritating at times. "HEY! LISTEN! This monster is about to kill you!" When it already kind of has. Or "Hey this door is locked! You can't go through it!" I know...I see that, Navi. So my vote would have to go to Navi on the grounds that her timing bad and Fi is very useful in my opinion.
But some people find Fi very annoying apparently. They seem to think that they do not need as much assistance as she offers. And that her sounds are annoying? I never really understood that, but she speaks in what kind of sounds like reversed Japanese or something similar. Some people actually said they prefer Navi to Fi. But which do you find more annoying?
