I'm not sure what started this, because I feel like FF4 probably didn't have a real writer, but it started an era of more "real" storytelling, which I feel like made it through FF6 and maybe halfway through 7. But 7 definitely started off another trend where things just go, and each consecutive game takes it farther. Other than the black sheep of 12 and the online games. But yeah. i don't like anyone in 13. The hallway thing was the least of their problems
I heard that the translation of FF13 is better in Japanese and some character development was ruined when translation. Though Light still treats Hope, Sazh, Fang, Snow and others poorly.

Never understood the whole Lightning = Female Cloud thing. They are nothing alike. Cloud cares about his friends lol.

Light saw Hope as a annoying pest, same with Sazh. Light saw Snow as a punching bag. Light slapped Fang in the face.
