Yeah i found Steiner to be pretty annoying i mean in the first and second CD the only thing he does is "butt kissing" Garnet and telling everyone that he as to protect her.

I dunno. He is annoying, but I'd say Eiko is more annoying, because near the ending, Steiner says some heroic lines, where as Eiko is still crushing over Zidane. That short annoying midget.

Steiner does start out being very annoying to the other characters but during the course of the game he changes. His world is being turned upside down around him and it takes time for him to adjust - remember that for a good portion of the game the threat is coming from the very person he had come to trust and swear allegiance to. He truly wants to do the right thing, but his idea of "the right thing" is so set in stone at the start of the game that when he starts to find out that he might be wrong he goes into denial. When he finds out that Brahne, who he has sworn allegiance to, is behind many of the events in the first two discs, it's devestating for him.
Steiner has good reasons to be as he is.

I remember getting irritated with him, not only his constant yelling about the princess, but that damn armour clanking around...Especially when he had a temper tantrum and jumped. >.< After he began to loosen up a little though I respected him for his sense of right and wrong, as Gaia said above. If he wasn't how he was, there wouldn't be as much comedy either. It's fun to see how Zidane and he interact, atleast for me. Steiner's a good guy, I like him.

Is what? If your going to post something, make sure it makes sense, or at least adds to the conversation. Please?
Steiner was actually one of my favorite characters from FFIX, I'd say Eiko, Quina, and Amarant were definitely more annoying.. plus they aren't as good in battle anyway. In the first two discs, Steiner is trying to uphold his duty by protecting the princess with his life, so it makes sense that he'd react the way he did. Imagine if you had a younger sibling with you, and you were supposed to be watching it. Would you just stay calm, and sit by and watch as it runs off with some other kid, who's a known troublemaker, and goes off and gets in to fights with monsters, because they're confused about their life? Steiner was only doing what he was told to do, even if it meant running around yelling "PRINCESS!!!" whenever she ran off somewhere new.
Steiner was also comical, he would do stupid stuff from time to time, but whenever it came time for battle, he would be right there in his clinky-clanky armor, ready to kick butt.
So no, I do NOT think that he is annoying, on the contrary, I think he's one of the best characters in the game.
