The lashing out, the brooding, the crying, the pretentious behavior, trying to act like nobody understands what he feels. Or the childish way he draws in on himself because of it. Completely unbecoming of a protagonist and a freaking captain. It lasted for like two or three locations. It was no small portion. And it completely reminded me of Tidus the entire time. Understand why he felt the way he did, but to take it to the extent he did was ridiculous. Probably because in good old Japanese fashion, he was like high school age or something. But in reality, being a captain means tough decisions and tough outcomes and he failed. Which would have been fine. A great opportunity for good drama and character building. But his character was completely unbuilt and I didn't find it worth sticking around to see if he built back up after that. I swear it had to have lasted for a good 10 hours or more. Or I was just extremely slow in getting through that next planet and alien stuff

I wouldn't really try to convince anyone to give up on the game if that episode doesn't bother them. But it certainly ruined the game for me. I wonder if they changed it a bit in the PS3 port. Perhaps different voice actors, a tweak on the writing, or some pacing during those parts of the game changed things. Who knows
