Lloyd is considered to be below average when it comes to his knowledge (achieving 25 out of 400 on a standardized test at the Palmacosta Academy, with Colette commenting that it was his "best score yet," before they realized the test wasn't out of 100), though what he lacks in general knowledge, he more than makes up for in pure skill and logic (many times he points out details that help solve the puzzles) as well as great academic potential (noticed by Raine in a skit in the Temple of Darkness). He is also a skilled craftsman, a skill that comes in handy when creating Key Crests for Exspheres. Lloyd generally is seen as an idealist and he prefers to try to justify his actions by doing what he believes is in the best interest of the people of Sylvarant and Tethe'alla. Early on in the game, he makes rash decisions without thinking about their consequences, something he later recognizes and repents for. His character growth in the game is considerable, from the rash, foolish boy from a village to the bold, brave hero he becomes.

Throughout the game, Lloyd displays the most character development. The irresponsible and proud young man he starts the game as is slowly transformed into a gentle idealist who wishes for peace in the world. He has many of the characteristics of Mithos, the Hero of the Ancient Kharlan War. It is mentioned by Kratos at Flanoir that Mithos and Lloyd are also quite different, however; Mithos and Kratos were too proud to admit to their mistakes. Lloyd, on the other hand, knows when he has made a mistake, and he learns from his experiences, changing and adapting. Kratos says that he and Mithos were unable to do that, and that is why the world has suffered so much. Despite their similarities, the great difference that distinguishes Lloyd from Mithos is the fact that Lloyd wants to save the world without sacrificing anyone's lives while Mithos is willing to sacrifice any number of lives to strive for his golden "Age of Lifeless beings." As poorly educated as he is, Lloyd possesses a very strong heart, and adheres to his morals of racial equality and altruism unwaveringly.

The game chronicles Lloyd's transformation into a hero, one even greater than Mithos was before his downfall. His determination becomes a valuable tool in his fight against Cruxis. He eventually forms a pact with Origin, the King of Summon Spirits, and uses the Eternal Sword to reunite the two worlds. Lloyd then uses its power to regrow the Giant Kharlan Tree and provide the new world with enough mana to flourish. The last thing he does with the sword is send Derris-Kharlan, the great comet of mana, into space. This signals the end of Mithos's era, and the true Regeneration of the World.
