Humour usually does the trick!
How is Squall troubled? IMO until he meets Rinoa he has his :bou::bou::bou::bou: together more than most FF characters. This is more a case of you wanting to project a typical anime personality on him.
its all a mather of taste at the end...
Some like serious characters, and some prefer the goofy ones
Despite taste I think there is still a matter of good and poor writing. For instance I dislike the style of all the FF9 characters, but despite my low initial impression of all of them I grew to appreciate them.
Ofcourse its a mather of good and poor writing, but im just saying: a character can be writen sooooooooo good, but (for instant) if u dont like his/her silly character it can ruin the whole thing
Whether or not you like them doesn't really affect whether they're a good character or not. :p "Good" is a relatively objective term, whereas "likeable" is going to be subjective. The only time likeable seems objective is when the masses like it :pQuote:

As this thread has shown, considering many people can't agree on the qualifications for what constitutes as good writing, I would say we're still in the realm of subjectivity. :p
Ms. smarty pants with her expensive words.. xD
WK I concede that point. :P
