 | | Sean Bean's character, Rose's husband Chris, had a role that was entirely pointless--he was supposed to represent the audience and to help unravel the mystery of the town, but he did such a poor job that, as I said already, Dark Alessa was forced to spell it out for us. |
 | | Besides being a game with the not-a-word "Xtreme" in the title, all story, character, and world development was left out entirely in favor of taking the series staple combat system, an alchemic fusion of real-time and turn-based battle, and making it needlessly complicated to the point that it required a form of micromanagement to handle. |
 | | There are other characters for sure, such as Yuki's mom Miranda (easily the most likable and non-cliche character thus far), the socially awkward demi-human Ulf, or the gambling sailor Alonso, but those are the only two that really matter. |
