JRPGs, anime, and hateful main characters

I dont like the idiot hero types too.
But on the other hand, we have too many complex anti-hero types now so I cant make up my mind.
I guess on of the reasons "Attack on titans" was popular is because it went back to the roots of shonen

Luke Fon Fabre, by the gods, this guy made me want to snap the fucking cartridge in half (played the 3DS version) He is insufferable for the first half of the game, my sister says he gets better and I reached the part in the story where he casually fucks up everything and might start becoming less of a ****, but for the most part, I wanted to stop playing because this bitchbag is the protagonist.

Seriously, anyone who complains about Tidus, Tidus is nothing compared to Luke in terms of annoyance.

Yeah, but the point of the that story is that Luke is a whiny little whore of a kid. The Tales of Games are known for taking the piss out of and simultaneously deconstructing common JRPG tropes. Like the whiny boy turning into confident badass. Luke does that in reverse. And more-so, he's much more likable afterwards, if he is a bit bitchy until you hit the end-game.

Same way Tales of Graces F (for anyone who's played it) overplays and deconstructs THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP. It would be sickening if it wasn't so well done.
