I believe the term your looking for is self proclaimed leading man, he is overly egotistical , he wears a stupid ass outfit and his back story is crap to say the least and he is useless in combat...infact the only good thing about him is that he owns the Strahl |

I don't think so, honestly. lol.
He was important as he was the son of Cid. Also, he helped them through Old Archades to get to the new part.
Him and Fran also helped Vaan out in the beginning. I think he's quite useful.

Does not stop him from being a snobby little know it all, with an irritating personality. Sure, he helped out, and was important ish to the story, but I can't stand him, at all. So second time round, playing through XII, I only used him when I HAD to.

I thought his personality was pretty great. I mean, it was a bit snobby and whatnot. But the story wouldn't have been the same without him.
Squall was the same way, was he not? At least in the beginning he was.

lol at the "useless in combat" bit. I really haven't found anyone useless in a fight in FFXII, due to them being able to equip any weapon, and the gambit set up. Plus, Balthier has quite high strength & defense stats. If you think he's useless in a fight, you're probably doing something wrong.

I can't believe people are dissing Balthier!! 
He is one of the good characters in the game, I'm not really bothered by his accent seeing as I'm English and I'm used to it haha. But I love the way he is, he isn't always an ass as he can be a gentleman, and he has loads of links to the game such as Cid and Ba' gamman, He has the Strahl, and if it wasn't for him the storyline wouldn't have ended the way it did seeing as he had the plans on how to get to places and stuff, he also cares greatly for Fran. In my opinion he is the leading man. More than Vaan could be.

So what if he was the leading man?
It's like saying Hitler was awesome because he was the leader of Germany. Or Bush is teh secks because he is the leader of America.
I responded to the rest of that and to what everyone else has said in my first post.

He's better than the rest and as we all know FFXII didn't have any epic characters like previous FF.I like him for his overall style,clothes(I always notice the clothes' design),appearance(meh),accent,how he acts.I can't say personality as this games doesn't focus on the characters too much so I pick to stay neutral regarding his personality.

But his personality is clearly obvious throughout, how can you not pick up on it? You said you like him for how he acts, so in a way, that does have something to do with his personality.

I do like how he acts,but his personality is not complicated as to make him more interesting.(not that he's not already interesting enough)
Hope this clears somewhat my mess. | | | |
