I got nothing against cutesy girls in mah JRPGs so "the usual suspects" of Vanille only made me smile.

It was Tidus who really got me irritated but here is the distinction between hate and annoyance - Tidus was SUPPOSED to be annoying. He's kinda dumb, in a whole new world, and totally out of his environment of being Mr. Cool. He's an attention-seeking prat for the most part and that's what they were clearly going for.

So while Tidus bugs me, it doesn't prevent me from seeing him as a fine enough character.
