I don't think everyone hates Bartz, but he does have less character development then some of the other FF heroes, which makes him more difficult to relate to or form an attachment towards. The only part of the game I felt that I really got a sense of who Bartz was is the optional visit to his hometown. The part when he (SPOILER)hears the music box play and has memories of his parents, then goes and visits their graves is rather touching. Perhaps if the story had gone more into that, Bartz would have more sympathetic fangirls. Other than that, he is a pretty generic hero. And I think guys tend to make fun of him because he spends the entire game pimping around with three good-looking girls and does little in the way of going after any of them. . .
The fact that his Japanese name is Butz kinda kills most fangirl obsessions. Though I dunno why.
When I saw this thread I originally thought it said 'Bratz' as in those little hoe bag dolls some coroporation has been pandering to little kids. I was dissapointed when I re-read the name, no rant for poor Abominatrix.
Perhaps they're all jealous that he gets to travel with 3 girls towards the end of the game
People hate Bartz!? what!? I've never heard anyone say that! and if they do, they're probably concerned that he doesn't have a silly haircut... er more silly and a strange sort of sword or something.
that means nothing he probably isn't INTRESTESTED in those particular girls he's focused on the job at maybe he already HAS a girlfreind at home who knows (Ok maybe not but one girl in Lix seems to be close!)And I think guys tend to make fun of him because he spends the entire game pimping around with three good-looking girls and does little in the way of going after any of them. . .
butz is awesome. he is a good fighter, isn't messed up in the head despite coming from a broken home, and runs around with the ladies all day. The lack of "detailed backstory and character development" to me is more a lack of "crap melodrama thrown in to distract you from the dearth of gameplay options".
Butz is a killer guy. I liked him. He's a bit of a dork, but he's not a total jerk like Squall, not a complete nutjob like Cloud, etc. etc. He's just a good 'ol adventurer, and that's damn fine with me.
he's an animal lover too.
He just seems like a random generic adventurer to me. He's not that well developed, but I don't hate him, or anything. He's an acceptable leader for your party, so its all good.
Bartz was a good leader and a good friend in the game, but he was kind of ho-hum. I was very surprised he didn't try to go after Reina, although in the beginning someone says to him something like, "go after the girl you like" or something along those lines. What I really couldn't figure out is why they made Bartz's hair white in the opening and ending CG scenes (for the playstation) It makes him look like a fairy! When I saw his dorky white hair, I don't know, it just didn't fit.
Old enough to know better, but dumb enough to do it anways.
Blanche: "In the south we mature faster...I think it's the heat." Dorothy: "I think it's the gin."
Lol. . . I believe they gave him white hair because the FMV's were modeled after the original Amano drawings, in which Bartz had white hair. Similarly, the drawings depicted Lenna and Faris as having reddish-blonde hair rather than pink and purple, and so theirs was also changed.
I was just wondering is Anammo offical? Beacuse it is always what they go by! there have been a lot of Bartz fan arts (Most famous was the Berzerker Bartz Fan art story which was used on the internet to provide roomers towards an FFV-2!! (I got in touch with my freind and he pointed me to the Website on his computer so I have finally revealed the Identity of that picture [The post were asked about it was deleted and that would also be reviving]

because that guy gets to travel
I never really heard about this "Bartz/Butz hating".
He is nowhere near my favorite character...I don't see why anyone can hate him though.
