See title.
For me, I love Tidus, mostly because he cracks me up.
Like, when Rikku tells him not to tell anyone he played for the Zanarkand Abes and then 5 minutes later he tells everyone. Or when he runs into the back of the sacred temple and he's all, "like I care!" Also, the time where he grabs the megaphone and tells the Goers how it is. My favourite moment, though, is when he calls Macalania temple "Macarena temple".
He was such a doofus I couldn't help but like him.

I'll second Tidus. And Zidane. I loved Zidane.
Though really, any Final Fantasy character probably has a really loud legion of haters.

Tidus, Squall, and Hope (actually, just about everyone from XIII).

Sephiroth. He was still a pretty formidable enemy in the game. For starters, him killing the president of Shinra, leaving the upper floors of the company to waste. There's also that impaling a Midgar Zolom thing. The fact that you could kinda use him in battle for a while gave a mystique of power.

I like Wakka and his flaws. Watching the evolution of his character, and being faced with the reality of his belief system was very interesting.
I like Tidus, Squall, Cloud, and Vaan for what they are.
There are very few characters I outright dislike. It's usually more issues I have with the overall plot, like I did in XII.

Squall.
I like him because he knows how to get it done when everybody else runs around failing their arms.

On the other hand, I think the only character I completely hated in an FF game was Algus. The guy was a dick.

Yeah, Wakka was bullheaded, but he had a damn fine character evolution, not to mention some of the game's best lines. "If we lose, you'll die too, buddy!" And Vaan got to come into his own in Revenant Wings.

I'm a huge Tidus fan and never really understood why so many people disliked him.
I'll also throw out that I'm very fond of Yuna. She was my second favorite character (after Auron) and can be a monstrous bad ass if you leveled her up the right way.

Penelo. Not sure if she's really hated so much as no one cares about her at all, but damn if she didn't make an awesome mage for me in my playthrough of XII.

I mean I know there's been some backlash against 7 but I don't think he's really one of the most hated characters in the series... I don't know how hated he is (I have seen people call him useless in the past) but I always liked Gau from FF6.

I don't think he's really hated as much as polarizing, but I still say Squall Leonhart is the FF character with the most interesting development. I also hate the fact that people claim he's whiny whereas he doesn't complain about his problems, but rather that everyone else THINKS he has problems when he feels he's fine (I'll admit he has angsty moments, which I don't have a problem with, but whiny he is not).
He does what he has to do even if he doesn't like it and by the end of the game is one of the more mature FF characters.
In fact, I really liked the contrast between Squall growing as a person, realizing that he needs to open to people, taking responsibilities and getting things done versus Seifer who remains childish, insecure, requires constant validation, is manipulated from start to finish and ends up all alone.

Hope, Squall, Tidus, and Yuna though i didnt know anyone disliked her. I'm pretty surprised to find Yuna has a hatedom. Most of the comments about her I heard were along the lines of "why does the game insist that Tidus is the hero? Yuna is clearly more important and accomplishes more important things!" Heck, even Spoony got pissed that Tidus insisted it was his story when it was clearly Yuna's.

Yuna can be hated for the poor English voice actor.
I'm probably the only person in the world that likes Vanille. She was cute, peppy and most always had a positive attitude. I'd date her in a second.
