My main issue with Hope is just that they make his conversations with Lightning while you are out in the world way too long at times. It's not too rare for a conversation to start and to not hear the end of it before another conversation is triggered by you walking too far. I'm pretty certain I had to trigger chronostasis twice in a conversation once if I wanted to just stand there and listen to it without fear of not getting to hear all of it and without having it eat up so much time.
