Zero Wrote:I wanna go on record here. I feel what everyone is saying about how annoying hope is. But what about how valuable he can be as a Medic and Ravager in battle. Aside from the fact that every enemy seems to constantly attack him mainly, He seems to get the job done when needed.

I think Hope is valuable as a Synergist too. He's one the characters you get the build up the most early in the game. So he's able to cast alot items for healing and protection on you. Hope was the most annnoying character for me too. But both his character and his value to the battle team significantly improve from Chapter 9 onward. So I don't hate him.

uh this mite be out of context but why is everyone hating on Vaan and FFXII? o.o I mean, I've never played a legit final fantasy game (unless you count tactics etc.) and 2 months my friend let me borrow XII. I played it for like 6 hours and bam. I love the game. I don't understand what's so bad about it

Me too "high fives" I love XII and I don't mind Vaan, but some of the characters are more interesting than him I'll admit. Maybe he's too normal?

finally! another XII lover . well it does say online and eslewhere that in the game that vaan is the main character but the story isn't revolved around him. He's just there showing the player the stories of other characters and he's there to help

in 13? I hated Hope, never used him. Infact I didnt use any syngergist my group at all. That might have hurt me a bit.

I'm one of the few that liked 12 alot. Vaan wasn't my favorate character(Balthier) but I didn't have any hate for him like I did with Hope.

BTW Tactics is a legitimate game. And its a good game at that.

lol sweet another 12 lover. Balthier was cool and i dont even know which tactics it was lol. Wow just realized I never answered the question. I know that hope gets better *spoiler* (thought i needed to put that despite the fact this is in the spoiler discussion) but he rlly pissed me off when i played XIII at a friends house. He was a whiny brat who sucked at combat

Haste is my go-to spam move.

Going over the English version of the game, I must say I absolutely detested Vanille. I found little use for her during and after the game and her voice acting was by far one of the most controversial of the XIII... The only reason why I've ended up using her was that her stats were much more favorable compared to the next option that I had (Hope) early on after the post-game grinding especially since Hope didn't have the Saboteur role as an initial role...

But at this point... I've really just stuck to using the three girls I upgraded all their weapons first and haven't exactly made an effort to change it. I just keep the volume down on low when I play through.

I hate Hope, but he is in my main party... boo. Damn Square for making him technically easier to beat the game with. :/

Maybe they knew he might not be the most likeable, so they gave him the important jobs so people wouldn't ignore him. I'll admit I found him annoying at the beginning but now I quite like him.

lol but the funny thing bout hope is that though he gets better later on, it made me lol when my friend was talking bout hope being taken under lightnings wing and getting a dagger. He was like Hope + beginning of game = brat. Hope + dagger = wanna be bad-ass. For example when he was on the cliff with snow he's like I'm gonna frickin kill you! but he can't cause he's a weirdo
