Oh, and regarding "whininess" (is that even a word?), there are ways to make a good "whiny" character, that way is:
1. Make sure his/her voice isn't annoying to tears.
2. Make sure he has an actual good reason to be whiny.

Good example - Vivi, in many pepole's opinion he's actually the best character in the series.
Bad Example - Hope, I wanted to stab him in the face most of the game, he's just such an idiot, how can you not want that character to die?

Because Hope only lost his mother, I mean mothers aren't important, a kid shouldn't be attached to his mum, how terrible! Lets add in he got turned into something his whole world had been telling him is the greatest evil of all.. Of course he shouldn't whine he should've said "oh well she's dead, time to move on", "oh well who cares if I'm a l'cie...I'm only 14 but I'll act like I'm 100 years old & pretend to be wise". /sarcasm

Hope was much stronger than I expected & a fantastic character, his development throughout the game was extremely well done. I have no complaints against him & Lightning showed her motherly skills!

So 1. Hope's voice wasn't annoying

2. He has more reason than any FF character ever to be whiny, considering his age he was in control pretty well.

Hope's development was great. The only problem with Hope was that he was way too philosophical and in control for his age! I mean, I know young kids come sometimes come out with some great and deep things sometimes, but with Hope, it was like he was the Archimedes of the world! He made the "adults" sound like idiots.
