Way awesome! Keldorn is one of my fav characters ever! And need I mention characters like Jan? Also, I loved the romance sidequests.

But this game also boasts the only VG character that I have ever hated with a passion. Even though stat-wise he was really good, his personality made me throw him out of the party for good.

You KNOW who I'm talking about...

Also, I had this interesting situation. There is this part, where Bodhi kidnaps your lover (Aerie in my case). So, as a replacement for the quest I took Viconia. After reviving Aerie, I kicked Viconia out of my party. Unfortunately, she was on one side of a mine field, and my character was on the other. She was walking towards me, talking about how pissed she is at me for kicking her out, but the mines made her explode in mid-sentence. She literally exploded in a million pieces. I could not revive her in any way, she never appeared in the game again, even in ToB. This made it all the more hillarious. This is kind of the element that I really wish JRPGs had as well
