Indeed yes, but we have to admit that when it comes to something like save the universe, it could be more secure and more credible to choose a natural born leader.
Chaz is a nice guy and it is shown even in the way he is drawn for PS's 20th birthday and I have to admit that unfortunately nice guys are not the ones remembered in the end.
I think one personnage could be really cool if he were to take some dramatic decision and taking responsabilities for it.
Sending someone to a certain death in order to prevent all the team's death.
Even if the leader were to be sad or to cry out loud in this situation, he would still be cool because he takes a huge decision.
- What would be the differences between PSII&IV's heroes
Rolf is worth of trust since he is contacted for his important mission. Moreover, he is the one who decides to open the DAMs to save everybody and that inspite of everybody hating him since he is considered to be responsible for the Motavia flood.
In the end he even takes the heavy decision to end the climate control system, he dooms Motavia to a never seen before crisis because it is still better than leaving the control to Mother Brain.
Moreover, he goes and dies for his beliefs with all his team but with the hope that he gives a chance for a new futur to the next generation.
On the contrary, Chaz lacks charisma if we were to put a comparison between those 2 heroes because he is the one following Alys and being taught by her.
Then if we make a quick summary of PSIV, he will be tutored through all the game. Rune tells him whom to see, then it's Le Roof and even for dramatic situations there will be a side character who will tell him what to do where: Demi for the climate control, Raja for the Landeel...
Being so kindly tutored and helped by everyone, he does not have the chance to forge himself a character, his mental.
Even in the end, he'll be protected by Elsydeon and will afterward accept his fate : not being able to see ever again his friends, Lutz, and the ones in space including the one he loves Rika without saying anything but a goodbye.
I never analysed it that way, but now that I have put words over my thoughts, I think I understand now why is Chaz less apreciated.
Am I wrong, or at least, am I clear? I hope so, but if not, don't hesitate to tell me.
