I Honestly Do Not Like Alphinaud ..

Honestly I never disliked Alplhinaud in the first place. I enjoyed his character from beginning to current and I love how he grew as a character.

Still keep him away from anything involving financial costs because the Scions are in deep with the amount of unnecessary money Alphinaud spends.

I've always liked Alphinaud. xD However, I have to say - and I didn't think it was possible - but I love his sister even more. xD Her moxie, her wit, her dramatic poses and certainty over silly things. She's a real hoot. Together, I love them even more. It's been interesting watching Alphinaud grow with experience, though.

Reminds me of the whiny lancemates you had in MechWarrior 4: Vengeance.

Microsoft redeemed itself in its Black Knight expansion where you went back as a Merc and hunted everyone down. If only Shadowbringers would let us do that here.

I've said it several times and will never tire of saying it... heck, I'll just repeat some of what I've said in the past: Alphinaud is an excellent character who has been cleverly developed with brilliant writing. Not to toss in any spoilers but he actually got my personal respect first in 1.0 when he concisely assessed the Admiral's speech and then later in 2.0 when both twins assisted the WoL to fight in Coil.

If one really pays attention to the storyline as a whole, there are numerous instances where he has made grave mistakes and yet he has evolved from them through sheer resilience. I think a few people are just innately surprised that even though he is Sensei Louisoix's grandson with a posh accent, he actually forged his own path without riding on granddad's coattails... and that is something I can personally identify with.

Let's be brutally honest: His mental perception and brilliance is exceptional, his character development has actually been very progressive and most of all, he is a true friend to the WoL. I foresee Alphy evolving into a fantastic leader of a new Sharlayan, perhaps even a protegy of Gaius... but who knows these things? His core strength is politics and he has the kind of "Beautiful Mind" that comes in very handy when analyzing mysterious knots in situations.

Cannot deny the cold fact that the chap has a great innate ability and the trippy part is that he hasn't even finished evolving just yet. I reckon as Shadowbringers unfolds into the next expansion, we will all watch him become truly incredible.

I would suggest the Coils Raids.

I hated him in ARR, I think it was his voice though. I hated it. Made him sound like such a snob. I'm English myself and his accent was just, 'mate, go away.' The fact he was acting like I was his personal hitman also made me want to punt him into the sea. He's a lot more likeable after ARR since his voice matches and delivers the emotion better.

Though to be honest this is also why I disliked Minfillia - I hated her voice.

Got to find people willing to carry him unsync though.

I don't much like Alphinaud.

I however, love his character development.

Even if I'm not fond of his character, it's still really cool to see him change over the course of the game.

It's really great to have some well written character development and I wish we saw it with more characters (I swear, if Curious Gorge has one more crisis involving him being afraid of losing control to his inner beast I'm gonna push him off the Sea of Clouds...)

Thing 1 and thing 2 need to stop using me to solve their family issues.

Hilda on the other hand can boss me around all day.. *heart eyes*
