'simple' than the others. She also wasn't anywhere near as predictable as almost every other character.
2. Basch should have got a lot more storyline given to him, being the almost-main character. Pity he didn't, but oh well. These things happen when politics meddles in video games and the board directors insist on having a young person be slapped into our faces repeatedly.
3. Fran's crazy moments should have been closer to what we saw from River Tam in Serenity, but otherwise I felt her story and her personality to be the better half of the sky pirate duo, despite Balthier taking the majority of the plaudits from, well, pretty much everyone. Fran proved time and time again that while Balthier may have her beat for quantity of wit and one-liners, Fran has him under a firmly placed heel when it comes to quality of wit and one-liners. And, let's face it, everything else.
4. Balthier may be under a heel, but he's still as free as a bird. He brings more humour to the game than any of the other characters by a long shot.
5. Vaan was Vaan. Annoying at times, but not as bad as Tidus, so I guess there's that. Overall he was an 'okay' character, but so very far from a good one.
6. Penelo was a drag for me. Just boring. Dull. I didn't really see the point in having her there aside from the fact that someone needed to talk to Vaan early on in the game. Nothing but a foil for Vaan, really.
