Nearly everyone has their pet hate character. Mine is Wakka (out of the main ones anyway). But sometimes they do something that makes you think ... c'mon they're not so bad.
So own up, when did your pet hate character do/say something so good that you couldn't hate them, if only for a little time?
I guess for me its when Wakka makes his speech about blitz making people forget Sin. "This is the only time. The players fight with all their strength; the fans cheer for their favourite team. They forget pain, suffering... Only the game matters!"
This is so true about games, and its one of Wakka's best moments. You gotta love the big jerk when he says it, don'tcha?
