Well, I thought Barret was cool and funny sometimes. He doesn't come close to the greatness of Cloud's character, though. He was funny a lot, like running up the Shinra stairs, or when it wasn't a serious scene using his gatling gun. Try talking to him in Costa del Sol. Also, the serious scenes about Barret in Corel were good, but of course the scenes that affected Cloud were much better.

If you're gonna make fun of a FF7 character, I think that's why they invented Cait Sith.
