Hope is actually the character with the most development in the game, in fact the only character that really develops at all. I found him to be a great character.
I'll take your Hope and raise you a Sazh.

He has by FAR the most interesting and provoking backstory, and he actually acts like a human would. Then they screwed him up with the whole "Crazy Foo'" Black Man stuff.

But back on topic. Hope deserves to be hated. If he was real, he'd be one of those kids who live in the cellar, listen to The Cure and complain that no-one understands them. And writes poetry. Vilbert from 8-Bit in essence.
