I have an idea this could be the problem. I used the crystaruim but quite honestly, I wasn't too sure what I was doing. The thing just used to suddenly spark into life without any imput from me. I don't know how far I am through it.
Odin just goes straight for the boy and he dies double quick.
Well take a look at your crystarium and you wanna work Lightning through in this order, well at least I found this way the best for me. I upgraded her as far as I could as a Ravager first, then Commando, and finally Medic. As for Hope I worked him through Medic first, Ravager (which becomes more useful later on because of both his ability to cast lots of high level magic as well as his high magic power), and finally Synergist. But I recommend getting Haste as soon as it becomes available but that's still a whiles off.

As for dealing with Odin: Use symbiosis as your active paradigm (Light as a MED and Hope as a SYN) and let Hope cast protect and shell right off the bat. Odin tends to attack the people who are doing the healing and that's prob why he kills Hope so fast, this way he attacks Light while Hope gets some buffs up. Once those are cast switch to War and Peace (Light - COM, Hope - MED). When he goes to perform Ullr's Shield switch to Dualcasting (both RAV's) but as soon as he continues attacking back to War and Peace. Let me know if that strategy helps at all
