Hans

“Hans had the potential to be a cool character, (flying pig = awesome) problem was that he really had no relevance to the game’s overall story, and kind of disappeared in most of the game. When speaking of cutesy mascot characters, even ones like Pikachu in Pokémon or Chu Chu in Xenogears had the one awesome scene where the character’s worth to the party is materialized. Hans was there as just a token pointless cute thing that Sega will obviously use to sell plushies.”
