That's how I felt anyway.
I hated having her virtually spit in my face after defeating me, knowing damn well that wouldn't be the case if they actually did let you smack her down to 0 HP.
That too. Winning by hax and then rubbing it in my face...yeah, that didn't go over well with my gamer pride.

(it's not that I hate her...I just hate not being able to kill her in our encounters )
ha ha ha ha!
hahaha you're crazy. This post makes me laugh. But no, I've never killed her for no reason like that. So what did you do after you killed her, revive her instantly?

Never hated Beatrix personally. :p She was always one of my favorite characters in this game next to Freya, Zidane, and Vivi. I nearly creamed when I got her in my party.

Oh good. It wasn't just me. I don't buy the "Alexandrian Protector" bit at all. She didn't show any remorse for her actions. She was just upset that it was black mages and not her soldiers doing the slaughtering.
She was lording it over the Burmecians and Cleyrans the whole time. What was worse is that while Kuja was the bad guy and Brahne was brainwashed. Beatrix was just a good little soldier. Seeing her all happy in the ending kind of made me sick. Also Reno and Seifer. What is it with mass murderers getting off scott-free in FF's? What kind of morals are those?

Yeah, the FF games would have been hugely improved by public execution scenes for these characters in the ending! =P - don't forget AVALANCHE were terrorists, they should pay for their actions too! Where are the morals in the FF series?!
Seriously, this idea that Beatrix is some cold-blooded mass murderer is just ridiculous. It was Brahne using the eidolons and Black Mages that wiped most people out in Burmecia and Cleyra. Also, it's the concept of redemption, and someone trying to atone for their actions (see also: Cait Sith). Beatrix helps save Garnet and then helps to defend Alexandria.
And Seifer was just as much brainwashed as Brahne in my opinion.

It wasn't just the mages, it was the Alexandrian army too. And yeah an execution would be odd but they should have just let you kill her. Avalanche, who were much more in the grey area, *did* die and one of them even said that it was probably karma.
Also she's described as a cold, heartless killer in the game. Redemption is all well and good but there's a limit. Doing things like she did and saying sorry is just dumb.

Ha, although I never really took to Beatrix as a character and I did think that her whole turn around in opinion was really quite stupid I didn't hate her quite enough for that to kill her once she joined my party. I did still kill her, though only to get more exp for the other characters. When Steiner is running around Alexandria fighting the mist monsters you can get an amazing amount of exp just from those few that are lurking around if you get rid of Beatrix from your team. Same goes for any parts in the game where the likes of Marcus join your team or any other member of Tantalus.
In fact, this is kind of unrelated but if you'e picked up all the star sign coins (can't remember their full name) when you first reach Treno and pick up the Blood Sword Steiner is virtually unkillable; so if you kill your other party members Steiner levels up like as fast as hell.

I think the thing about beatrix that made me mad wasn't that she was so tough, but that as a boss she was so easy! the only thing she had going for her was that she could one hit people like Vivi but if you kept pheonix downs in stock and healed everyone as they needed it her fights were about as hard as killing a zaghnol. If i could go back to where i was a few days ago in the story and kill her like this I would, but the thought never crossed my mind.

Hahahaha some of you are so cruel for wanting her to just get KO'd. So funny. But I guess she deserves it. I remember inflicting so much damage on her, only for her to cut all my characters HP down to 1...
