Balthier is a fairly dull character people latched onto as the XII cast is so dry. The only really good character in that game is Basch.

Yay another Balthier-disliker! I like both Basch and Ashe much more. I played Revenant Wings last year and was surprised that Balthier annoyed me more than anyone else in the game, Vaan and Penelo take a big step up (relatively) in terms of character and he's just this snarky asshole. Fran is super boring and trope-y, too.

'Dagger can't concentrate' was a decent way of integrating gameplay and story and didn't bother me in the slightest.
Shiva is a boring summon. There's so many cool freaky designs and she's always just a blue bikini lady.
Kain Highwind is a bad character.
IX's Garland is one of my fav villains in the series (a low bar tbf)
VIII's narrative would be improved by merging Ultimecia and Adel into a single character.
