Wakka is the best character, discuss

Um. You're missing the point. You don't have to agree with a character's views for the character to be good from a writing and technical standpoint. Plenty of villains are fantastically well-done characters. Stories would be incredibly boring if they weren't. This is how characters work. They are supposed to illicit an emotional response from people.

The fact that he really gets to you this much is more just proof that he was a really well done character.

Yes but those are Villains. They are supposed to be sinister and negative, it's apart of what makes being a Villains work.

Kefka is a excellent character despite being callous, cold-hearted, sick, and a complete psycho. Though he is a Villain. Wakka is not a villain so having a huge negative flaw such as being racist, makes him heavily flawed.

Yes characters can't be perfect otherwise they'll be a damn Mary/ Gary Stu but something like racism goes too damn far and it's one of the main reasons why he's hugely unlikeable in my personal opinion.

Not to mention he has no character apart from - first part of the game being massively racist and then second part complaining that the big- up's in Yevon won't listen to him because they're tainted betrayers.

I can understand at him being upset, outraged and emotional by and during the first Seymour battle, but by Yunalesca smurf is it annoying.

Again no. Wakka is a awful character.

Edit: Saying that a character has to be "relatable" in order to be a good character is completely false. If every good character in the world was "relatable" than every story in the world would be remarkably boring and homogenous.

Being relatable helps make the character likeable.
