Optomistic Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Just a rant, I've nearly finished chapter 7. I'm soo sick of hope whining like a bitch, but what gets me is everyone treating him like a little baby with a mummy complex. I don't know how the rest of the story is gonna go, but I am sick to death of him already....and there's more hours to endure. Ugh!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STOMACHofSTEEL Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) I'm soo sick of hope whining like a bitch, but what gets me is everyone treating him like a little baby with a mummy complex. Amen. Doing missions in chapter 11 now, so no story and no whiny Hope, but I remember him being annoying in chapter 10 and the beginning of 11. Never has there been a character in any FF game I played (IV-X, XII-XIII), that I hated more. Disliked some? Sure. But Hope is the only one I truly can't stand. Won't even use him in battle, although I know he's quite good. Aaah, I really needed to let this out...

StarDreamer99 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Hope didn't bother me too much. I have played other RPGs with far more annoying characters. The good news is that Hope, a non-playable character, in the second game is a lot more mature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarDreamer99 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 In the last Star Ocean game, the main character, the incredibly naive (and stupid) Edge had a mental breakdown after indirectly causing the death of a few billion human beings. His trauma was understandable, but as a gamer, I really didn't need to see him go through all the emotional drama that played out. The general Edge character wasn't annoying, but that lengthy period where he shutdown and had to deal with his personal issues sure annoyed me. Edge was actually the first character I thought of when Hope was brought up as being annoying. Both became annoying due to a trauma they experienced during their respective games. I was thankful that Hope's trauma didn't drag on as long and wasn't focused on as much as that for Edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optomistic Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 Haven't played star ocean so I can't really compare, although edge sure does sound annoying. Up to chap 9 and hope isn't so annoying now, BUT, as stomach pointed out in all the final fantasies I've played, I've never had a character I disliked soo much. I'm not gonna let him ruin my ff experience though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeuroSephiroth Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 While this is true, his magic stat is as high as Fang's Strength stat. Combine those with Bravera, Faithra, and Deprotect... Almost nothing will stand in your way... Except A Long Gui and Vercingetorix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like the entire party just had a sudden attack of too-dumb-to-live. Sure let's give our ship's power source to this evil army mad scientist we just met 5 minutes ago...what could go wrong? And in my opinion, Edge's reaction wasn't even all that understandable. As moronic as the decision to give away their ship's only power source was, at least Edge had the excuse of not knowing it could blow up the planet if used wrong. But I suppose it would've been too un-heroic for Edge to blame the guy who waited until it was too late to mention that little detail. Who also happens to be the guy with the giant gun for an arm, that was quite capable of blasting through the walls of jail cells in the past...yeah, I would've blamed him for not stopping it. No, Hope isn't anywhere near as annoying. He actually gets better in the end. Edge ends up twisting the "lesson" learned from his breakdown into "don't cooperate with other species."

xXI A ROD IXx Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Not only is Hope annoying, this whole game is shit. Its not even about what moves you do its all about RNG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedley300791 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 He gets rather less irritating once he gets his summon so just bear with him for the time being lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggiez Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Haven't played this game much but it really didn't take long for me to heartily dislike Hope. Even if it is somewhat understandable why he gets upset in the beginning of the game he still comes of as stubborn fool. Fingers crossed that he is much more mature in FFXIII - 2.

Harry98 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 definitely the most annoying character in FF history, but he is a good medic to have on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkreiblez Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I agree. I don't think that Hope's part of the story was very interesting. It was annoying and unnecessary. I guess he was supposed to be the "downer" in the start but eventually becomes motivational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lak239 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I really didn't like hope till near the end if the game then he got cooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekokari Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Thus far, hope is the character with the most growth potential as far as emotional and character development. That said, he is annoying at present... All the characters in FFXIII seem very flat, very predictable. Maybe I've played to many RPGs over the years, but this batch seems lack luster....

sixx08 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 i personally hated him from the get go haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImaginaryRuins Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Hope in XIII is not meant to be perfect. He is not meant to be your typical save-the-day hero; he is flawed, and he grows as the events unfold. Of course, we as spectators, know that Hope's mother died according to her own will, but from Hope's perspective he did not see that. Losing the person dearest to him at his age, I understand why he behaved like he did. He is also much more mature in XIII-2 and Lightning Returns.

Tryston Senpai Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I mean you would whine like a little bitch after you saw your mom fall to your own death and had multiple attempts to kill the guy who got your mom killed and dosen't remember her at all. Just saying man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying man. 'whine' seems a rather biased word, pardon me. Or perhaps thats the fault of the VA. Like I said Hope isnt supposed to be a masculine man at the beginning, instead he is weak and helpless, and admittedly not entirely likeable, but to me that is just part of a character setting. Seriously I do not understand all the hate towards him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettV Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Based on my time in Hope's house and his choice of weapon, I feel that Hope is just your typical kid and wound up not only watching his mother die but also getting dragged into an adventure he didn't want to be a part of. His family looked to be quite wealthy, so he's probably lived a pretty cushy life. The worst thing that probably happened to him prior to the incident in Bodhum is his father not being around due to probably traveling for whatever work he does. I feel like Hope's responses to the situtations early on would be quite typical for almost any kid, especially one who comes from that type of "suburbanized" lifestyle that Hope was most likely used to. I personally feel like he grew quite a bit as the story went along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
