They built up Ellie to be a possible lead character. Male gamers can respect her rise to fame, rather than just a female protagonist being thrown at us. Takes us back to Final Fantasy XIII. Hope was the character who was built up to become something in the storyline but they gave all franchise to lightening who wasnt a strong protagonist. Hope= Ellie in this instance. The character you werent so sure could stand on their own becomes strong themselves. She should eventually be able to handle herself for good by the next game.

Nope, Hope is hated by the fanbase. Not comparable.


They are all hated by the fanbase. Final Fantasy 13 is the first Final Fantasy in years where people have had backlash towards the whole cast, to the point where the games sales reflected the audiences lack of amusement in sequels. Based on character development in any book, technically it is Hope who becomes to leader if not eventually the most powerful as he learns to mature. Its not about whether I like him or not. If you paid attention to the first game, he's the only character with true character development throughout the duration of the game. In the beginning of the game he's just a child with a boomerang, but the end of the game he has all these powers and definitely becomes a mage-like character that people depend upon.

I meant hated by FFXIII's fanbase.

And no, he is not the only one.

Lightning becomes a human being, forgive and learns to like her sister's boyfriend. Snow stop being a child and grow up. Vanille learns how to stand on her feet without Fang. Fang stop feeling stupiditly culprit. And I don't remember sazh developpement. But he is funny at least.
