Clearly you've never played Persona4 and had to listen to Teddie's walking.

And then there's that damned flea in Okami...

His character makes probably the biggest transformation in the whole game. Hes a bit annoying at the beginning but by the end hes awesome.

hes also amazing in battle. Him + Vivi and their magic sword is unstoppable

He is a dry, dull kind of annoying. I really didn't like FF9, and he didn't help matters any.
Of the other examples mentioned in the topic, I haven't played Persona4 (or any games of the series for that matter), but Zagi and Issun I found to be rather amusing, the latter more than the former. Cecelia from Arc Rise Fantasia, now she was annoying!

Colette from Tales of Symphonia is high on my list of most annoying characters.
Maybe only beaten out by Teepo in Tales of Xillia. It doesn't help that Teepo is voiced by Erin Fitzgerald and I find her VA very hit or miss. Mostly miss for me.

Well actually I can think of someone worse than Lymle. Same series. Roger from SO3. Done every possible combination of characters they let you get except him. In fact, I have never once let him out of that cage hes trapped in when you meet him. That's how bad his voice annoyed me.

There's also the entire cringe worthy VA cast of Robot Alchemic Drive, but I think maybe 3 people have ever played that game and it starts falling into the MST3K/so bad it's hilarious realm pretty quickly.

I disagree. Steiner from FF9 is a very annoying character, but I think Kiddy Kong from Donkey Kong Country 3 is the most annoying character ever.

No way he can be the most annoying character ever. He's annoying, but he was meant to be annoying and he develops and grows.

There are far worse characters.

I know he's meant to be that way but his dialogue for the 1st half of the game is just completely unbearable. He just says the same things over and over again

Yea, but the game also gives insights to his character it lets you see his thoughts and motivations while he is being annoying. You know he isn't simply a bad guy.

Quina and Eiko are 10x worse than Steiner. and Quina isnt even that bad. Atleast she (?) minds her own business.

Eiko literally throws herself into the middle of every scene shes in and says EVERYONE LOOK AT ME

Berserk Steiner solo'd the final boss for me. He gets a permanent pass.

Quina, on the other hand, is just awful (... IMO).

Quinas fine. A little extraneous, and kind of a pain in the ass to get them busted, but why do you need to get everyone in FF9 OP anyway? Theres a million easier ways to murk the tougher bosses.

FrozenBananas posted...

Freya and Amarant WISH they had the stage presence of Eiko. She moves scenes along quicker than they would go otherwise, because of how impatient she is, and her outbursts are basically what a lot of characters need to get out of their asses and figure out their shit.

She was an excellent foil to Vivi, and a welcome source of extra motivation for Garnets character.

Anyway Lymle from Star Ocean 4 not only adds nothing to the plot, but is unneeded noise when you realize her gimmick is being a dummy. Which would be fine, but then Meracle joins... then Serah joins... and the other two female party members dont have enough character or (more than one) moment to showcase their skills.

And there arent enough inter-character stories with her and the others, so you barely even get a sense that she even really knows any of these people shes been traveling with in a unique way. But that goes for most of the rest of the cast too.

And you have to do extra work to get Lymles happy ending? Fuck that. Fuck you too Faize.

Yeah but SO4 has Lymle, the best character in the entire series!

Monkey boy, generic princess, black mage, goofy knight, rat girl, annoying brat, weird monster thing, edgelord with dreads. I think that's all of them.

vivi is the only good part of ff9 tbh

also, the tagline for ff9 was "the crystals are back" which, uh, never made sense

because there are no crystals
