I just realized how harsh on Wakka as a character I have been all these years. Wakka used to be one of my least favorite Final Fantasy characters, as I used to find him whiny and annoying.
However I realized that his man gets his hope broken, his hope that things will turn out and be okay, his safety bar from the miserable world that is Spria. His hopes are broken apart and spat on, by finding out that his religion is only just a sick and cruel cult, that is led by people that have no guilt in abusing the system and manipulating innocents to go on journeys to go on their deaths. This man finds out that everything that he was holding on too, so strongly, was all a big huge lie. Wakka's reality is crushed.
Imagine finding out that in whatever you believed in, whether it be religion or something else, was just all lies. You where just a puppet, being controlled by people that couldn't care less, as longs as they had all the power and control.
Yes, Wakka is not the only one who has his hope's crushed, but everybody deals with everything differently. Whether it's trying to stay calm like Lulu, crying and having a emotional breakdown like Tidus, or trying to smile no matter what like Yuna.
I was way too harsh on you Wakka, and I'm sorry man.
You still need to get a haircut and find a better fashion sense though.
