I tell you what, I think square put these characters in just to give people something to complain about lol. Look if you don't like the characters don't play them. I personally loved all the sidequests that came with the characters. Finding Skellys bones was like finding the turtles paradise flyers in FF7. the whole friggin point to those kinds of things being there is for those who don't just beat the game but to go out and CONQUER-(sp) the game and play every aspect and sidequest.
