Hard to dislike him, if only because the VA did a really good job considering the script. Of the main cast, Snow is behind only Sazh in terms of VA.

As a character, he was a lot more interesting when the plot was handling him as confident to the point of tragic. Instead, all his confidence panned out and we had to listen to him parrot about Focus, Serah, and doing whatever it takes, etc, for the rest of the game. In other words, his character went nowhere. He might as well have been a seven-foot-tall, talking onion knight.
