well it's not that he's hated… He's just really… mediocre. Nothing really stands out about him, his stats are average, nothing stands out. Same goes for his father Eliwood, but you didn't notice that too much because Eliwood got hard overshadowed by the immortal god of destruction that was Hector

I'm not for against Roy's return but because an alt costume character has the same name he won't come back is a pretty dumb excuse
