Final Fantasy XIII

[Xannidel]

Here is how I feel towards each character after beating Taejin's Tower in chapter 11:

Lightning: She is starting to warm up since the beginning of the game, she is also accepting Snow as her future brother in law. She is still not smiling but not many people in Final Fantasy games do that often. Never really had a problem with her at all because I sort of had this feeling she was going to be cold throughout the game...I was right. Her Eidolen fight was a little unexpected but I think that is when she starts to grow emotions other then "GOTTA GO KILL PSICOM, GOTTA GO KILL EVERYTHING!!! RAIJFSUANSGIAN!"

Hope: OH BOY! Wow was I wanting to hurt him from the beginning because of how whinny he was, he starts to learn how to fight with Lightning (Best role model, see above). Also he sort of has this revenge motive and I was so certain that his Eidolen battle would be during that scene when he is alone with Snow, but nope. His Eidolen fight is equal to that of an emo child trying to get attention which kind of pissed me off because he really matures after that revenge confrontation.

Snow: Hate him even now, still the smug asshat that he always was but now everyone has sort of lobotomized that part of their brain where they gave a shit. Has this weird turn-on with this tear shaped gem that is probably not healthy for him. His Eidolen fight was semi relevant to his conflicting emotions. Never used him when I had the chance to form my own part and probably never will. Seriously, fuck off Snow.

Fang: She sort of just slides into the story at the middle of the game and everyone seems to not care who joins them and she makes up the 6th party member. Kind of the wild card who only cares about herself and Vanille, which makes sense later on in the game when they are still offering back story. Her Eidolen fight was not too cliche but was meant to further progress the game which is silly (Seriously, her Eidolen created a path out of...Magic I suppose and that is how they escape one area to go to another).

Sazh: My favorite character who I could really relate to (well okay I don't have a son but that's beside the point). He is your typical older character who has his own problems but tries not to let that hinder him...oh yeah and he has a baby chocobo in his hair, go figure on that one. His Eidolen fight was the one that I knew was going to happen and I felt that it was one of the only ones that really was not forced via the characters emotions.

Vanille: My favorite female character for the game, comes off goofy and kooky at first which I guess was a nice change from Lightning's "RAAAAA SMASH AND KILL ALL" emotions and Hope's "WAAAA MY MOMMY IS DEAD!!! FEEL SORRY FOR ME!!!" bullshit and Snow's smug attitude. Her Eidolen fight was the one that really irked me because it was the one that was the most forced out, she had no terrible outburst like everyone else did, all she did was keep pretending that she was the one that did something bad a long time ago and BAM there is her Eidolen ready to do what they do best..Be very, very, VERY annoying.

So there is how I feel towards every playable character right now.
