Most Hated RPG Character?

Which character in an RPG did you have the most disdain for? I'd say for me its a toss-up between Vaan from Final Fantasy XII and a smorgasbord of characters from Chrono Cross, its hard to choose the worst character from Chrono Cross.

The useless chick that starts off in your party if Final Fantasy II
Freakin bitch

I don't have one.

I loved FFVIII but I could not stand Squall or Rinoa.

Reaver from Fable 2, for reasons that are 'spoiler-rific!'

It's not that I hated the characters from FFX, but I hated the voice actors SO goddamn much. (english ones, obviously)

Cloud.

I'm not sure about most hated among the general populous, but my personal most hated is Aya from Infinite Undiscovery. She's basically the female equivalent of Ottacon only much more rude.

Vaan. I don't say this often, but that guy's exceptionally gay.

Wakka, Zell, Junpei, and anyone else similar to them.

"Vaan. I don't say this often, but that guy's exceptionally gay."

Rikku. Definitely Rikku.
Also Palam and Por-er, Cooke and Macke from Lost Odyssey

cloud

"cloud"

The main character of Last Remnant. Arguably the most annoying character I've ever seen - he was one of the main reasons I returned the game...

All of the characters in Final Fantasy VII are probably the most pathetic I've seen in a Final Fantasy game. None of them manage to accomplish what they set out to do.

Sephiroth wants to kill everyone - Fails
The heroes want to save the world - Fail

The reason they fail is because of the simple fact that they didn't save the world. The world saved itself. The main villain is a momma's-boy who can't manage to do anything right, and the main protagonist (Cloud) is nothing but a self pitying douche bag that does nothing but whine all the time.

Cooke, Mack, and any child or child-like character in an RPG.  Same with child-like animal characters, such as that troll thing from Blue Dragon.  Right around the time all the troll-things started dancing and singing, I wanted to throw the goddamn game out the window.  Also, as much as I love the Disgaea series, they are prone to very annoying characters like Mao.  Suikoden's characters tend to be a mixed bag, too, but they throw enough of 'em at you that it's not hard to find a party full of cool characters.

Xhela from Baten Kaitos was the worst.

Not to mention the fact that Gibari = Wakka and Kalas = Tidus.

Colette from Tales of Symphonia. That character single handedly stopped me from finishing that game.

I've talked about my general thoughts over why Squall divides people, and why both people who like and hate him are ironically both legitimately correct.

But if I were to nominate a RPG character for "Most Hated" it would probably be Vaan. His character design since has been an easy target for JRPG skeptics to make fun of, on the other side of the coin JRPG fans disliked him for his lack of any form of character or depth. Friends with Penelo and that just about it, everything Vaan did or said was about as memorable as nothing. With every other FFXII character quickly taking the spotlight, Vaan became almost completly useless from a story perspective.

Asside from that just about every character from the original Final Fantasy II.

The Creeper from Morrowind. 

Sure you can make a fortune off him, but the noises he makes are so damn annoying.

That dumb ass Vivi the black mage from Final Fantasy IX. He just tripped and fell on his face, how cute! Oh, he just did it again! He's so endearing! *blows brains out*

Little Mermaid. She was in Kingdom Hearts. Do you remember that song you were forced to go through? Do you remember?!

DO YOU REMEMBER?!

Ming - Lost Odyssey

Not even her giant boobs could make her not annoying.

Jeremy Parish in his article at Gamespite does a great job of analyzing Vaan and his immaterialness to the general plot and the flow of Final Fantasy XII here  http://www.gamespite.net/toastywiki/index.php/Games/FinalFantasyXII

Vaan always felt like an unnecessary and unwelcome distraction to Final Fantasy XIi and its story of political intrigue and the meaning of destiny. Darn you Square marketing staff and your reliance effeminate, shallow and aggravating lead characters! "
