Yeah, I know. I guess the correct answer would have been "I did not like Sazh's character." To rephrase it:
Quote:
Sazh... I did not care for. He was made to be a bumbling oaf for most of the early scenes, especially as a counterpart to Lightning's cool demeanor and moves. What else can we really expect from Squeenix though, right? His face was constantly tightened up in worry lines (gloriously shown thanks to the amazing graphics), he complains too much, he tries and fails to kill not only Vanille, but himself as well. His only really redeeming characteristics/interactions were the Little Chocobo, which I enjoyed because it acted like his conscience; and his son, as with him that was the only time he showed any real emotion. But while the character of Hope, for example, grew and developed splendidly, Sazh stayed as a bumbling oaf used for comic relief in the 8 chapters I played. Perhaps in the next few chapters he develops, but I don't know. I wanted his character to be more like Barret in FFVII; a strong guy who could be used for comic relief without seeming like a limp-wrist pansy. Then again, I probably felt that way because the game starts out as an obvious comparison to FFVII: you're the brooding main character on a train with a black guy plotting to ***** with the government.
