Hope & Snow Return In Final Fantasy XIII-2

by Andrew Reiner on Sep 14, 2011 at 06:50 PM

I'm not even going to try to sidestep my feelings here: Hope is my least favorite Final Fantasy character to date. I tried to keep him out of my party as much as I could and booed whenever he was injected into the story. If you watch The Office, he's the Toby to my Michael Scott. I was hoping I had seen the last of this little brat.

When I first looked at the image pictured above, I laughed, called Phil over to my desk and said "Look at this dork wearing a shoulder fanny pack." Phil ruined my evening by saying, "I think that's Hope." He's probably right. Final Fantasy XIII-2's plot does jump around in time, and, well, who else would wear a shoulder fanny pack other than Hope? Oh no. What if he has a brother?

In better news, Snow also has a new look. I gotta say, the cheek hair works for him.
