The player's rival from Pokemon Red/Blue. Such an asshole move, picking the type that you are weak against.
How could you not like Jade?
Is that what was happening? The ending of 13 is so fucking poorly explained, told and acted that I was literally bemused at what was going on.
I guess looks are everything to you, huh?
I hate her looks, I like her personality.
You really like pathological liars who spend most of their time in denial?

Wakka from FFX.
Edit: And yes the full cast of FFXIII, obviously

I thought she was pretty self aware of that.

I didn't make it that far honestly. I got through the tutorial (ie just after the battle with the first Undying) and gave up. I was trying to play through it so I had context for XIII-2 when it came out but but XIII-2 came out before I finished due to various stuff and I stopped since I no longer had motivation and the game was terrible.

SO4's entire cast was terrible. Easily the worst group of characters ever created for a story-driven JRPG.
That actually makes it worse...

What personality?
You know for all the hate SO4 gets and deserves i actually thought not every single one of the cast was bad, i did like Arumat and Bacchus. They're very stereotypical characters but they played their roll well and the two voice actors that didn't make my skin crawl.
Vanille.
Fucking Vanille.
More dense than a black hole and more annoying then a talking orange. She takes the cake and the table the cake stood on for being so unbelievably stupid and fucked up that it makes you stop playing the game. I could have stood out with the game for at least 5 more hours before quitting out of boredom, but she instantly killed all interest in the game.

Here's the ending as I understand it
The party goes in, not intending to destroy Cocoon or Orphan. Shit goes down, Barty boy somehow combines to become Orphan (because apparently he didn't exist at first... or something) and Fang goes loony. Fang turns against the party, party goes C'ieth for some unexplained reason, and Vanille gets tortured. Fang goes into an incomplete transformation of Ragnorok (because apparently there is such a thing) due to Vanille's torture. Fang fails, but the party catches her as she flies through the air since they turned back from being C'ieth (for whatever reason even though we were told that was impossible... later to be revealed to be Etro). Party sees some vision of the future where everybody was smiling, so they change plans, face the now complete Orphan, kill him even though that was the one thing they knew would doom Cocoon, and do so because "we believe in the power of miracles". Because they choose to do this, their brands become "scorched" for some unexplained reason (later revealed to be Etro), and they gleefully kill Orphan, killing countless millions in the process. Fang and Vanille combine into a super Ragnorok (because apparently that is possible), crystallize, and save Cocoon. The party somehow perfectly lands on the ground and crystallizes. They are brought out of crystallization for no apparent reason, lose their brands for no apparent reason, and have Serah and Dajh come back for no apparent reason (all later explained to be because of Etro). Credits roll. The fact that they fucked everything up and only succeeded due to unexplained circumstances is ignored; the fact that they basically killed millions of people for no good reason is ignored; and the explanation as to why any of this even happened is locked away in datalogs.
Yeah, the ending was a fucking mess. Basically, they got lucky and a bunch of symbolism happened. The "heroes" did everything the villain wanted, messed up everything, threw all logic out the window, and "believed" really hard which made things go right. So yeah, all of the characters are flipping idiots.
The personality where she shares empathy and comforts Hope at the beginning and continues to stick with Sazh despite that she knows how everything won't end well for her.

"Richard, I know you just went complete psychopath on my town, and probably killed hundreds, but that doesn't mean we can't still be friends! There's just something weird going on with you!"
"No Sophie! Don't kill yourself to destroy the demon! Imma merge with him and become friends."
As much as I Iove playing as this guy, he's horrible story-wise.
How can you bash Luke when there's THIS GUY?!? At least Luke was different until
that point in the game when he became generic and boring.

I would argue Xenogears as being the greatest fucking game of all time ever to my dying breath but seriously, fuck Chu-Chu.

Bringing the other two threads full circle.
For me, it's a tie. First, there's this guy:
Next, it's the whole entire cast of Final Fantasy XIII
Anyways... yeah. XIII is shit...
PS: Your sequel sucked, Serah!
OP ends the discussion by their own damn self!
Seriously, these are key choices for worst JRPG character(s).
These too.
I'll also add Disgaea 4's cast
Listening to them and their "quirks"/"thing" scene after scene made for some of the most irritating dialogue I've found in video games. It would continue ad nauseum with at least three of the following lines inserted in a dreadful localized voice:
"Sardines!"
"I wanna be a final boss!"
"I'm going to be the President in this world that's totally a dream!"
"I'm going to make my father,no...myself, proud!"
"All is for my lord."
So very, very painful.
Ugh, yup, that's basically what I pulled out of it.
Fuck FF13. My god. It's like a 12 year old wrote it. Fucking Tinkerbell ending.

The entire cast of this game, excluding the bear.
And the entire cast of this guy's game too. And that includes Jade.

Funnily enough, the anime (or at least, what I watched of it) had better writing than the source material.

Jade was the Necromancer guy right? He was the only tolerable one, at least initially.

The whole cast is pretty bad. The writing in that game makes Mighty Morphin Power Rangers look like Shakespeare in comparison. I'm sorry in advance.
Ahahahahha! Never played Infinite Undiscovery, but that is fucking hilarious.
I vote for Wakka. What an annoying tosser.
I didn't like Wakka much either, but the motherfucker was amazing in battle. I'll be using dat Tidus/Auron/Wakka wrecking crew again when the HD remake comes out.
My vote goes to Lymle too.
There are so many things wrong with her character that it's hard to know where I should begin.
- Her character design is creepy/scary
- She always talks very slowly in a game where not every cutscene/PA can be skipped... meaning you had to stand there just waiting for the madness to stop.
- They forced so many health issue to make her a 'legal' loli that it reminds me of that awful drawing they make in Welcome to the NHK (keep in mind I'm not trying to say it's wrong to have characters with health/mental issue in a game - read the next one)
- Your mission is to save humanity, brace dangers and fight mean aliens... and the logical choice is to break every law and bring with you a dwarf alien who is mentally challenged and suffers from many trauma and most probably PTS and of course no military training at all. That's just cruel on so many level.
- She doesn't contribute to the story (if any) all the way until they literally force a cutscene at the end where she saves everyone with her children drawings she drew everywhere in the ship. Turns out they were magical glyphs (wait wha?)

It really can't be overstated how terrible the cast of XIII is.

I'm agreeing with the whole cast of FFXIII. Most of the time, I am kinda happy when they include a few shit characters in a JRPG. That's one less decision I have to make about who's in my main party. However, when the whole cast sucks, and when each cast member is relegated to a role that you NEED to use, it makes playing the game truly terrible.
Also; totally agree with Lymle, Karol, Ken, and other kid characters. Then again I hate most kid characters in all forms of entertainment media.

I don't really get the Chu-Chu hate. She only really has a single scene (which wouldn't have been much more serious without her anyway), and after that you can leave her alone for the rest of the game if you don't like her.
Also, she was crucified for your sins!
My annoying character of choice would be Tidus (surprised he hasn't been mentioned yet).
