Ethan Waber is a goddamn idiot.
So, me and the BF went into Manchester yesterday to see Sherlock Holmes, and, while we were waiting for the cinema to open, we did some browsing around the Arndale. I found Phantasy Star Universe for 98p!
I know I know, they've done some... interesting things to the character builds, but, at that price I'm not complaining, especially since I've had the expansion/sequel for AGES and now I can make the plot of it make sense. So I get home and load it up and, all good so fa- HOLY CRAP I HATE ETHAN! Good GOD!
Not only does he have the most annoying voice I've heard in a main character for quite some time, (as well as some iffy acting all around). He's an IDIOT. Within the first 20 minutes of gameplay, he has expressly ignored the instructions of more experienced/qualified people (who are actually there for his protection no less), in an emergency/evacuation situation, which in turn leads to his adorable little sister nearly dying. Why? Because he has a grudge against said people.
OK there's a reason for the grudge but so far it seems like it's a bit of a stretched one.
I'm sure he will redeem himself by eventually becomming badass and saving the world. But for the moment I just kind of think he's an idiot.
Semi-related side-note: Whatever happened to PS0?
EDIT: (From Wiki)
"The game was released in Japan on December 25, 2008 and in North America on November 10, 2009, and is set to be released in Europe on February 12, 2010."
... w00t.
