I can understand the appeal of most of them up to Dark Dawn. DD though, I just have to ask... how can anyone see any appeal in any of the main character introduced after Rief? I mean, Matthew is a blank slate, so whatever, Karis has a personality (one I think is mean spirited but whatever), Tyrell is a Garet clone but Garet wasn't a terrible character and Rief at least moves the plot along in most of the dialog (also has the balls to tell Alex to stuff it), but the rest of them? Amiti is a whiny sod who can basically be summed up as "lol what you do doesn't agree with me!", Sveta is very boring (I don't get her appeal at all), Eoleo is a complete lost opportunity but in his current state has no personality at all and Himi is deus ex machina personality.
