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.

Learning to like a sisters boyfriend isnt character development. Lightening was a female protagonist that was forced upon people. They did not properly think through her role. Snow was a jackass plain and simple. He's the "I want to be a superhero look at me go!" type without any natural likeability in the world, place in the typical plastic positioning. He was my most hated character. Its like they took a ken doll, kept the attitude, yet made him scruffy. Lightening was always an aggressor in the game, but it felt like she was being forced upon me. She did not strike me as the mysterious type, nor the badass they made her out to be. If this was real life she probably would've been knocked down quite easily, but this is based off of an anime, so lets humor it for a second. Hope was a weakling in the beginning of the game but ends up being one of the most trustworthy and powerful characters by the end.
