Eh, I think God Gale is a badass. He can own Raphael so bad.

Gale is always badass even as a human!
I think he may be *way* more entertaining as companion, than as an Origin. As an Origin I found him depressing under a thin coating of hilarious. ^^;
Edit: I don't think he has a bad Act 3 or a bad finale, just that for me it mostly felt satisfying which his companion arc does not because it lacks closure. Even with the Epilogue it's like the final page of the actual story is missing.
