Um . . . it's a futuristic world, Einstein. Or had you forgotten?:aimdumb:
I saw more "unchecked brat" than "needy child" in Hope. But that's okay with me. I love the young boy and young girl characters (eternal love for Krile, Gau, Relm, Yuffie, Zell, Selphie, Vivi, Eiko, Rikku, and Penelo!), so I'm probably going to automatically love Hope (and Vanille, too, of course).
I'll lay you ten to one that Jihl or a superior of hers will be the main villain. Or, hell, maybe the fal'Cie themselves.
Her name is Fang. Oerba Yun Fang.
Forget that! I wanna know what the hell Vanille's gonna be summoning!
