Alright, let's get this started.

FFV

Lenna Tycoon - I like her, but she's a bit too much of a wallflower compared to the rest of the cast. She gets easily lost behind Bartz and Galuf's antics, and Faris' situation. Krile also just pops up and sort of takes most of her character traits as well but also gets involved more with the game's funny hijinxs so she has a more difficult time standing out.

FFVII

Red XIII - I just don't get the hype with him. I mean he's unique being the first four legged monster character in an FF, but I find his personality to be dull and his personal story is kind of predictable. I feel part of my issue is that his story really doesn't go anywhere, he doesn't seem like he's really invested in the plot, and he kind of fades into the background after Cosmo Canyon. When I realized how easy it would be to write him out of the script entirely, I lost a lot of my interest in him. He's not unlikable, he's just not as interesting as I feel people make him out to be. If they had kept some of his original story elements from the early drafts of the script, I feel he would have been a far more engaging character. As it stands he kind of feels like Umaro or Gogo to me, neat characters but more there for the sake of variet than to be compelling.

Vincent Valentine - I like my cool dark loners, but in hindsight, Vincent's main source of angst is him still crushing on a girl who treated him like trout and chose her career over him. While it's tragic, his overly melodramatic reaction to the whole ordeal makes him come across like a middle schooler who acts like the world ends after their first relationship falls apart. It's more pathetic than endearing.

FFVIII

Quistis Trepe - I really want to like Quistis, I think she's an interesting character with some cool background details that could make her a compelling character. Instead her actions within the game usually betray these details and she ultimately never lives up to the reputation the game inflates in the beginning concerning her. She has her moments where she's awesome, but she also has a lot of moments that makes you wonder what is really going on in that head of hers.

FFIX

Zidane Tribal - He has all the qualities I like in a character for the most part, but I never appreciate how much of a spotlight stealing character he tends to be. IX really tries hard with that whole ensemble cast feel but Zidane tends to get disproportionate screen time and eventually more importance to the plot than most of the cast. It just gets grating after awhile. He's one of the few characters in the series where my opinion of him depends on where I'm at in the game. Love him in the first disc, he's getting a bit annoying but still lovable by disc 2, and I'm starting to get really annoyed with him by disc 3 and 4.

Garnet - Again, I would really like to actually enjoy her as a character but she just has this annoying habit in the plot of exasperating the situation. I'm still trying to wrap my head around how she spends half of disc 1 wishing to escape Alexandria so she can discover a way to stop war and figure out why her mother has gone bat trout crazy, only to spend the rest of the same disc and part of disc 2 trying to run away back to Alexandria to confront her, when she has no plans, knows her mom wants her powers, and was so concerned about her warped personality that she fled her nation to discuss it with her uncle only to now think she can turn around and talk her out of this. Like what the hell?! You're now flip flopping on the player.

FFX

Wakka - This is the other character where my enjoyment of them largely stems from where I am in the game. I initially really liked him, but just as you get older and discover your fun loving uncle is a crazy religious zealot with some racist views of the world, he just becomes really uncomfortable after awhile. I also feel like his character arc never goes anywhere and he just kind of accepts what's going on with little conflict despite the game throwing in your face how much Yu-Yevon religion and his hatred of Al bhed are a part of his character. It's annoying.

FFXIII

Snow Villers - I want to like this guy. In truth, he's not too dissimilar to Sabin from FFVI, but he so grating. I think it's his constant "Hero speech" that kept getting to me. It was like being stuck with the flanderized Disney Hercules from Kingdom Hearts for 30 hours. He has a better character growing moment than most of the cast, but it's not well executed since he is out of the plot for a good ten or so hours before he comes back in time to have the ending to his arc. So the momentum is kind of off. Can't comment on how he turns out in the sequels.

Fang - I like her personality, but I can't justify her existence in the plot. She doesn't really have any character growth, doesn't really have any commitment to the team or its goal outside of just following along with Vanille who is guilt-tripped into helping, and yeah. I just feel like she's a pointless character despite being one of the game's few likable cast members.
