Vanille from Final Fantasy XIII. I hated her and Hope with a burning passion at the start of the game. But by time I got to Gran Pulse I grew to like her a little. I Still hate Hope with a burning passion though.

Pinkie Pie (yes you read that right). Now let me explain-
When I first watch the first two pliot episode when I wasn't a brony, I thought she was annoying during that scene with the party inside the treehouse. To me she pretty much fit the annoying random character quota like many other cartoon shows. HOWEVER once I started watching more episodes she became a much more likeable since she was showing more randomness in a good and funny way.
I can agree with that. The point she grew on me was in the episode she keeps stalking Twilight to make sure she doesn't share anyone's secrets. "FOREVERRRR!"
Ezio got progressively better as he got older though that was kinda the point.
Oh yeh: this dude
I didn't dislike him at the start but I didn't like him much. He got better and become one of the best characters. Didn't beat Azula. But still pretty good.
In the first one, he didn't do much besides fly the Normandy and tell you about his disease. But in ME2, he's full comic relief, especially with his hatred of EDI.
Kaidan Alenko. At first, he was just alive for obligatory purposes (Namely, because I couldn't leave both him and Ashley on Virmire) but I actually romanced him in ME3. Mostly because the other gay love interest annoyed the living crap out of me.
Lightning from Final Fantasy 13. At first, seemed like a whiny, self-obsessed ***** (For instance, when she finds out her sister's getting married, her reaction is "This is the worst birthday ever.") But then I found out she was guilty for acting like that, and I started having a sort of begrudging respect for her.

She was the first and only one to come to mind for me.
I don't share your hate for Hope though as I was interested to see if he'd try and get revenge on Snow. After that sequence though he just became so boring that I had to lump him in with characters like Vaan and Penelo from FF12.
Rin from Katawa Shoujo. Was kinda meh about her, but as I followed her story arc she kinda grew on me. The exact opposite of Shizune and Lilly (a bit) for me.
The other one must be the G-man from the half-life series. First game: dude just pops out here and there, and then gets all the glory through your actions at the end (at least that's how I felt what he did), and then forces you into a contract or "offers you a fight you have no chance to win". He was no different in Opposing Force either, and that game brought the more annoying part of him out. Then came the 2nd game, and he suddenly became mysterious, rather than annoying. At the end of the game he seemed like an overpowered divine tutor of some sort. He just became really amusing there. Episode One made me kind of forget about him again, but Ep. 2 brought his more interesting side back pretty effectively. I always loved one thing to no end about him though, and it's his speech. Not just how he speaks with his trademark lung-disease-ish... thing, but the phrases he uses.
I recently finished watching Fullmetal Alchemist and, at first, the character I couldn't get was Maes Hughes. I thought he was just the occasionally useful comic relief.
Then, after the episode
where he's killed by homonculi, unfairly in my opinion (three homonculi, what the hell?!)
I really warmed to him
and actually mourned his loss.
I felt the impact he left on the characters as if I knew him personally, which shows that the writers clearly knew what they were doing.
-Jaime Lannister from A Song Of Ice And Fire (not a game but this is in Off Topic Discussion).
After his hand got cut off and turned into a reasonable human being (though you could argue that he was always good, just misunderstood). Once he becomes a POV character and you can look into his thoughts he actually became one of my favourite characters, something I never expected whilst watching the show or reading the first two books.
Also I have to agree with Zhukov on Liara. She was never bad, but like a lot mass effect characters she was rather meh in the first game before having a rather huge character. By the third game she was definitely my favourite character and the only person I wanted to romance, but this could just be because, playing as Femshep, my choice was rather limited.
I refuse to ever like Jamie. And I hope the entire Lannister family is wiped out aside from Tyrion. Yes that includes the two incest kids.
OT- Hmmm. I would have to say Tali from ME. Didn't quite understand her position at first but as I got to know her she was just great. In a non Bioware game, I would go with Basch from FF12. He was put in a really bad situation.
for me the mass effect series had the biggest ammount of character that i had that sort of experience with from jack, and thane through to vega and javik, bless his hatefill fascist heart/s
I had similar opinions of the Quarians. As more information was released about the Morning War and the Geth, the less sympathetic they became. Once: That one admiral decided to shoot at a Geth ship while I was on it. I lost all sympathy for the race, sans Koris and Tali.

Joker in Mass Effect.

I don't know why but at one time I hated the damn yellow sponge. He drove me insane.
Then just...poof I liked him. I have no clue what changed my mind, but all of a sudden I thought he was fucking hilarious and at this point I know that's he's a year older me, born July, 14th 1986.
Arcade Gannon, When I first met him in the Mormon Fort I wanted to slam "Oh Baby" over his head a hundred times. After a while though I came to enjoy his quips and his companion quest line really made me understand the character. However, Raul FTW
altair from AC1. in the beginning he was really a dick. at the end of the first game, he changed so much and saw the errors of his ways. i really started to like him. in the parts of revelations where you follow altiar instead of Ezio. (which i also liked way more then in the previous games.
Tali, from ME series. in the first she was really boring for me. she had never really a purpose in my point and was just there. in the ME on the other hand she got some responsibilities which made her a really interesting character. so much that she became the romance for ME2.
Sylar from Heroes. Allow me to admit that I completely wrote him off as an evil man. Hands down, irredeemable. Until I saw the episode where he went home to visit his mother and that explained a lot. Even explaining why he gave into that "need" side effect to his power.
Ezio from AC2, ACB and ACR. There was never that much wrong with him, I just very much preferred Altair and wanted to continue his adventures, so I took out my anger by dislking the new protagonist. By the end of ACR, my opinion of him is very good, but I still liked Altair more, since he went from arrogant badass to humbled hero.
I can't think of any other characters, since my opinion on characters rarely changes from the first impression.
I always liked Altair...his "professionalism" and "stoicism"...his sort of "intullectual" image
Ezio was obviously a leap in the oposite direction, a brash young hotheaded guy, and ladies man....a charachter type I obviously found less apealing, I didnt hate him..I just missed Aliair whom I had grown fond of
the funny thing is I completly missed the point in AC2...I didnt actually undertand the "time skips" (that thease events were happening years apart) I had a long period of not playing the game..
at first I thourght "who the hell is this guy? hes not a real assasin, hes just some kid wearing a white hood!" where was the castle? the order? the sense of being some great secret order?..I didnt bother readign the codex untill later
but the whole point was this was his journey in becoming an assasin, when he literally "grew the beard" I soon realised
In the first one, he didn't do much besides fly the Normandy and tell you about his disease. But in ME2, he's full comic relief, especially with his hatred of EDI.
There romance in Mass Effect 3 was equal parts funny and heartwarming.[/quote]
yeah...I didnt actually think they would seriously do a relationship between those two
though if I had to say ONE thing about the ending is that seeing those two together was sweet (well I didnt get that in MY ending...but one i saw on youtube)
