I don't get how people adore Balthier and haaaaaaate Snow when they are basically the same character ?
One shouts that "he's the hero " every two seconds, while Balthier shouts out that he's " the leading man " every two seconds.

Probably because Balthier is more charming, tends to back up his claim of being a "leading man", and is 100% more British. Really here, it's hard to resist that accent.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
I've never really got behind the hate for Snow or the love for Balthier. I like Snow, he's a big dumb goofball who means well and a perfect foil to many of his more melodramatic and bland cast mates. Balthier is slightly too pompous for me to really like. He's okay, and he's one of the better XII characters, but I don't really have a high opinion of the cast of that game in general.It's even harder to resist Troy Baker! It's weird actually because I'm a filthy British elitist who always defaults to liking British characters the best in both games and shows. Not this time I guess!
I dislike Snow because he's a smurfing idiot. I'm okay with Balthier but I think he's super overrated.
Team Basch all the way!
Balthier knows his claim is pompous and conceited, he's telling you right out what to expect from him; Snow doesn't know and doesn't care.
Snow is more pig-headed than suave, and Balthier is more suave than pig-headed. I like both though.
Pretty much what Wolf Kanno said. While I don't like either, Balthier is actually smart and knows his stuff, while Snow is a bumbling oaf most of the time.
And I'm with you, Fynn! Team Basch all the way!
I like Balthier's character design better
I like both. But I definitely think Snow gets too much hate.
Pull my Devil Trigger!

Balthier has style. Snow looks like he'd shop at a Hot Topic if he could just find one there.
