I can understand where you're coming from, and I won't judge. I disagree with the idea that she never came across as ignorant as to what was going on around her, though. Her overt kookiness and awful voice direction came across as one-dimensional to me, like she was some sort of singularity whose actions were not grounded in rational thought or social context (the scene where she finds her antler staff and dances around with it comes to mind). To put it simply, she wasn't a character who happened to be kooky in my eyes; she was "Kookiness: the character." Vanille, in the words of Kirk Lazarus: "went full r****d" for me.

To be fair I always felt like Vanille had a LOT of kindness to mask sadness going on.. maybe this isn't accurate but it's how some people cope.. and that could be compounding her already more "childish" attitude . She was never presented as stupid or ignorant to what's going on around her either.

I really like the re-branding. Helps sell you guys as educated well read storytellers. But honestly when I recomend you to people. I do almost always say "Resident Arc" first before correcting myself ahah

My response to the second-last question (the one on most-hated character tropes) would be: adults who act like 5-year-olds. With very few exceptions (e.g., Will Ferrell), I cannot STAND this archetype. I hate Vanille (and to a lesser extent Snow) from FFXIII, Kyrie from FF7R, and Tingle from Zelda for precisely this reason. I'm not really much of a fan of children to begin with (though I by no means hate them), but people whose behaviour is unacceptably childish for someone in their age range are absolutely insufferable to me.

You're welcome, my guys. You two are the only ones I know of who love JRPGs and basketball as much as me. Great to hear your opinions.
