[MENTION=13039]MadSova[/MENTION]; Just to get this out of the way, obviously you like the game, and obviously I didn't really like the game. I'm just saying some problems I noticed. They may or may not be problems for you, but to me lots of them were pretty severe.
To be honest, very good characters in anime are indeed pretty rare, but making a good or even decent character isn't that hard. I think perhaps one of the problems with making games that are so enormous is that by the end they have simple processes to go through to decide how a character should react when presented with a problem/new information. Half of the time they seem broken to me, like they are just fulfilling a role, not being a person. That takes me out of the game.
I suppose evil spirits do make a sway. But still. The dude seems to be pretty in-control lots of the time, and it still stands that as far as we see, they barely knew the guy.
As for people seeing him... The places he was flying into were often located on the outskirts of towns, and high-security areas. He did not kill all the people/farmers in these towns, not all of the security, only immediate threats. If you want to vouch for spirit possession, that actually is a course of action that makes more sense: an evil spirit shouldn't care about who sees its host.
Not a god? He just defeated a being capable of destroying a planet with his bare hands (well, he was holding some little metal sticks). I sound weird because I was being silly. Oh well. Just saying his inferiority complex is so huge it is ridiculous. Also I'm not sure how killing generally works in the game universe, but wouldn't the battles suggest that one bullet would not be lethal? I wonder about that sometimes myself.
Pascal's sister is an extreme minority. She is part of her secret cult in her secret civilization on their secret mountain in the secret alcove.
As for your last point. As fast as Tales of Graces is concerned, I don't think they had a single character that was a strong character, and that is why I couldn't play through F, I couldn't stand it anymore. Though after a while, deciding to put Malik in his swimming costume made some of the serious moments more enjoyable. XD
Edit: aw crum crap! I was sure I had typed less this time OTL my apologies.
