It's not so much the character as the Childish writing. If I were a tween then this would likely be fun. Trouble is, I don't think most players of the game are children any more.

The story could have been great. But the writers lets us down, the English localisation let us down, and whoever cast the English voices let us down.

At least, the one saving grace, we can tell people "Don't skip ARR with a story skip, because the story only gets worse than collecting ARR's cheese and wine"
