He was the best character.

The only FF13 characters I am lukewarm on are Lightning (constantly running off and leaving kids to die, tries to murder her brother-in-law) and Hope (namely for the scene where he tries to kill one of his only allies).
The game is overall very good. Top notch visuals from the environment to the architectural designs to the character and monster designs. No characters look like bsdm embarrassment like FF9 through FF12. The soundtrack does not have has high of a hitrate as Uematsu's later OSTs but is still decent. The battles are thrilling with the characters moving around and then then launching monsters into the air and leaping up to air juggle them. Objectively the main issue with the game is that the battle system is designed for three characters, but you don't get a party of three characters until about 30 to 40 hours into the game, and then you don't get to mix and match your favorite characters into a party until 40-50 hours into the game. There is some minor story wonkiness like with the PSICOM subvillains. The game's reputation is mainly a casualty of being misbranded as a FINAL FANTASY title, which comes with expectations that it would not fulfill (mainly exploring a vast wilderness setting and entering towns), and also came out during a time when the internet was proliferating and being used by college indoctrinated bitter Gen Ys and older millenials like Spoony who set the tone that people online regurgitated and drowned out the voices of others. There are worse mainline branded FF games than 13. 12 which is a very long low energy, unexciting slog. 14 which is a 500+ hour long visual novel that is 75% boring fetch quests, talking to NPCs, and boring combat. 15 and 16 with their unimaginative landscapes and character rendering and mediocre action combat. Etc.
