Can you tell me why you hate Lightning in the context of 13? Not 13-2 or LR. Just 13.Because Fang is objectively the worst party member in that game. She's fucking stupid.
Anyone is free to answer this question.
Late response, but
Of all characters why
Fang? I would of gone with Hope or Snow. The tier list of characters in my head was Sazh>>>>>>Vanille>Lightning=Fang>Snow=Hope. Now it 's been a while since I completed FF13. I guess 5 years since it released in 2010? I found Hope and Snow to both be idiots. Fang and Lightning are both dicks because Fang just wants to do her job and find Vanille while Lightning wants to be strong or something another. I have nothing against Vanille since she makes Sazh's story better and I was fine with her cutesy attitude. Sazh is just a cool guy.
I wasn't even keyed into the Lightning waifu shenanigans back in 2010. I think she's fine in the first game. I still don't like her much, but she's fine. The other games have kind of marked her with a stain that will be hard to overlook, but eh.
