Was Vivi living in fear of becoming a monster? No.
Hope had it worse.
Vivi was ALREADY a monster.
The only thing Hope had going for him was he was public enemy #1.
We're talking about who had more to complain about, I'm pretty sure Vivi has it much worse. Remember this cutscene in FF9?
It makes Vivi feel like his life is worthless to see these black mages who were exactly like him being killed. And by what? Another black mage! Vivi's also shown later by Kuja that the sole purpose for his creation was war alone.
And you know what he finds out at black mage village? Mages stop functioning after a year, and he had been functioning for six months. So there was no hope for him at all and he knew it.
And you know that his grandfather had died very recently as well? I'm talking about a week before the game starts. So Vivi figures out that he was only a puppet made for war, only has six months to live, his life is considered worthless, and the only person in the world he loved was dead.
Do you STILL think Hope had it worse?
Are you serious? The entire world tried to kill Hope. They shunned him, treated him like a monster, and tried to kill him everywhere he went. He pretty much had to sleep with one eye open since the people of Cocoon could come at him at any moment.
Your saying Vivi had only six months to live? Hope didn't even know when he would become a monster. He could become one at any moment in a split second. Imagine living every single day knowing that without a second's notices, you would become a monster. Imagine the anxiety of it all.
And this all happened because of somebody else's mistake.
Hope obviously had it worst.
Are you BLATANTLY ignoring everything I said about Vivi?
Hope knew when he would become a monster, don't try and sell me that. The l'Cie mark gave clear indication of when.
Once again, your only reason for thinking Hope had it worst was he was public enemy #1 when I gave 4 legitimate reasons why Vivi's life was hell.
Hope didn't know when the eye would completely open which would turn him into a monster. Also, no, I brought you 5 reasons why Hope had it worst then Vivi. Him being public enemy #1 is just the biggest reason. It doesn't get any worst the the entire world trying to kill you for who you are.
But you know what, forget it. I don't even know why I'm talking to you about this. Its obvious that you are in no way willing to understand the circumstances Hope was in which lead him to act the way he acted for almost the first half of the game. It's not that you can't understand it or that you don't see it as a big deal, you just don't want to understand. You're even going around the different threads talking like Hope was "whiny" or "emo" the entire game. In fact, that is what alot of people are doing when you guys know very well that he underwent a drastic change by the end of the first half of FFXIII. Even after all of this your opinion of Hope won't change in the slightest, nor will I try to change it. So you can think what you want to think, I don't care anymore. Blah, this is getting way to stupid.
