People like their FF characters to be uber masculine and uber strong but everyone forgets he was a kid, barely 12yrs old give or take and he witnesses his mum die and has to become a fugitive. that is NOT what normal kids do, to make matters worse, he has to hang around with Lightning and Snow...can life get any worse?
If anything, I'm surprised he didn't break down and say fuck it, feel free to eat me to any monster that came to him.
In my opinion? He was the better of all the characters in the game.

Uber masculine and uber strong.... in Final Fantasy? I'm pretty sure most fans will agree that in general the main characters in FF games are quite emotional and not really strong until the end. Cloud, Squall, Tidus, Zidane, Vaan etc. Even in side characters I would say characters like Aerith, Tifa are the most popular. Most of the male side characters are reasonably strong and masculine but you still have people like Zell who was basically a goof and Vivi who I wouldn't really say was uber masculine and strong lol.
Hope is 14 btw. My problem with Hope isn't that he isn't realistic or his reaction to the situation is weird. It's that I'm playing a game. Do I really want a pathetic, whiney, always complaining teenager with me all the time? Not really lol.
It seems all the Hope fans have come out though X.x Sazh rules!

By Uber strong I meant rather than breaking down, they kick ass and take names. Even at 14, I still think that's too much pressure to place on a guy. Considering that the general age RPG character grauduate from Badass University is 17, at 14 Hope still had some growing up to do.
He reacts weird but at 14 he's still a kid, is there really a rule book on how to react to things? And besides, no matter how much he complained, he still got shit done.
I still remember that one fight where he got issolated from the rest of the team and had to fight the boss on his own, instead of breaking down he stood his ground and took on the boss.
