One thing that bothers me is that often you have your token high-spirited, ebullient character in each game but aside from that so many characters lack emotion. Often the leads are very stoic and have no dynamic dialog. For once I would like to see a lead who really expresses a wide range of feelings - I suppose Tidus would come closest to this. Many leads like Lightning and Cloud are so repressed emotionally and from Lightning in particular a lot of dialog is her simply grunting and looking away. I suppose the word would be "cold." I can understand that Square Enix has had success with cold lead characters but someone who is believably positive would be a nice change. Often the high-spirited characters come off as forced - to actually portray a positive character as mature and not annoying would be a challenge for Square, but a worthwhile one.
