Hope got better as soon as he stopped being a whiny emo kid with his annoying talking about "revenge".
I also always wondered why he was on so bad terms with his dad. I mean, when they met everything seemed fine and harmonic between them, right? When Hope said that he despised his father I thought that maybe the guy had left his wife and son, was a criminal or helped the enemies etc. But then he turned out to be a normal father who was mourning his wife's death and was glad and relieved that his son made it back in one piece.
Well, I guess it was only Hope's teenage mood swings or sth.
Oh God, words can't even describe how much Vanille got on my nerves. Vanille combines everything that I hate about the average Japanese girl character: A lolita, walking, posing and moving to make her what the developers probably considers to look "cute" or "kawaii", but REALLY looking like a total retard with spasms. Then she's wearing less clothes than the most salacious prostitute AND last but not least: Her insanely awful high-pitched voice. Oh God, I could slap her everytime she opens her mouth.
*cough*
I'm sorry. XD I didn't mean to rant like this. XD
