I like him. Confident, top-notch athlete. He displays emotion which makes him a little more believable.

And any teenager would eventually wig out (like he did on Auron), when finding out you've been transported somewhere that's based on being 1000 years into the future, with no way to get home. They'd also be pretty sooky when they found out that their Dad was actually Satan.

He had his moments, but he took took it all very well.

He infused the woeful, useless Aurochs with confidence, and managed to win them the cup (if you know how to play Blitzball).

And he is pretty bad-a$$. Going against the world's religion because he know's it's not right. And his character is fast and powerful, especially as you advance him on the sphere grid.

Also, at times when everyone else felt like the world was against them and felt like giving up (OMG WE KILLED A MAESTER WTF), he pipes up "I'll protect Yuna, from anyone, anywhere. That's all I need to know." He displayed great leadership, for the "new guy".

But yeah, for some people he just wasn't emo enough. I thought he, like Zidane, was another breathe of fresh air from the typical brooding, silent hero.

He detected that Seymour was bad news early on. And even it was just because Seymour was "stealing his pu$$y", that's reason enough for me.
