"Emo" comes from "emotional hardcore"--if you want to believe one of the definitions running around. It came out of the punk scene and was derived when the bands would get emotional during their performances. And, Luke gets emotional. Remember, the comment was made how Luke is either too arrogant, too helpful, too guilty. He sounds like a child at one point because he's becoming emotional. So, yes, to me, Luke is "emo," and that's why I described him as such. But, for the more popular definition of "emo" that would have to be Vincent Valentine. He slept in a coffin for 30 years depressed.

That doesn't make him "emo"--just REALLY tired.

I can respect your opinon, not everyone is a fan of everything. Personally I liked this game and i also like Final Fantasy XII. However Abyss is more my style just because of how personal it gets. So you know whatever, everybody likes different things. Its not like we can force you to like it.

^ I know he's quite condescendant at the beginning, but he changes after Akzeriuth, and tries to get to know people and understand them. That's what I like about Abyss so much. Character development is very important. But, personally, I liked Luke bratty, too. I wouldn't like him as a person. As a character, I thought he was awesome.

I loved Luke's facial expressions--both as a brat and not.
My favorite was the look he gave Mieu in Baticul because Mieu had to tell Tear a secret.
To be honest, that's probably why I liked Luke more than Asch. Luke had more comedy to him.

LH-Luke: Damn, these things are annoying! Jade: You should feel right at home.
One of my favorite battle-quotes.
Also, his reaction to Mieu's "I'm a boy!" is the best:
"You sure as hell don't sound like one!"

I didn't really like any of LH!Luke's lines in particular. Most of the "funny" pieces of dialogue relied on insulting other characters, mostly Mieu, I'm not really a fan of humor that relies on mental/physical abuse. Even if it isn't taken seriously.

oh you gotta love it when Luke kicks the little poor Mieu I wasn't too fond of that, myself.... But, his "Shut up and drown!" just showed how arrogant he was. Not to mention, ignorant, since Luke probably didn't know how to swim, either. That's why a lot of his lines seemed funny to me--since they could also refer to him.
