he was just ok before, but then he had to go pee off the side of a bridge, if i remember that right, and that killed any adorable or cuteness in him for me... to make it worse hes a black mage, the most useless class in FF, well untill LuLu and FFX made Black Mages usefull... Beatrix is the best FF IX Character hands down, sad you barely get to use her in your party...
