Serious complaint
Reno is being misrepresented!
XComp and Hito have done a fabulous job translating OTWTAS. It's not their fault that the originals are lame as works as fiction. I've just been looking at Case of Shinra. It has its moments, but once again Reno is OOC.
In FFVII, he is clearly the de facto leader of the Turks when Tseng is not around. Rude looks to him for the lead. He's confident and unemotional. In BC he's more openly arrogant and annoying, but he IS younger, and he does get to kick ass in a very serious way. I won't even go into ACC, except to say that at least he was pretty to look at. But in Case of Shinra he's like this wet wimp who looks to Rude for reassurance and leadership. Where's the Reno who stood on Don Corneo's fingers, and told Elena not to be so weak?
He's red-haired, I know - he's Loki and Hermes, the trickster, the shape-shifter... but really, couldn't Square allow him at least a little consistency?
