Wow, you're a charmer. Remind me to cross the street whenever I see you, actually, I'll just hail a cab and flee the area.

And I don't even like Elezen/Hyur that much! Maybe it's her personality I like.

Personality: I would pick Moenbryda, I realy liked her even if she was with us for a short period.
Looks: Shiva
Character growth: Ysayle

Personally, she's a bit too hands off early in the story, and it's hard to see why she is the leader of anything. However I think for most it might be the English voice performance. Personally I go with the Japanese audio, so it doesn't bother me at all.

A large part of it is the quests that go like this:

minfilia linkpearl: "player I need you to come to waking sands I have something urgent to speak with you about!"
-arrive at waking sands-
minfilia: "I have a package of delicious treats my baker just made! I need you to fetch them for me!"

All these pages and not one person mentions the true best girl: Maggie!
http://www.crazysunshine.com/ffxiv/2...r/magitek4.png
Not only does she help us out a number of times in main story quest, but she even learns how to fly so she can keep up with us in 3.0. And odds are if swimming or under water content does happen in 4.0 she'll learn to swim as well. No matter what, she'll always be by our side.

(My real favorite NPC is Raya-o, but don't tell Maggie I said that...she does have a cannon, after all.)

"Hands Off" is a gross understatement. She's useless.
Other then being the person to send you to places, she serves zero purpose.
She has zero-combat capabilities and hasn't shown any skills in tactical thinking, strategical planning, diplomacy, or any of the in-game sciences or magic. (At least Tataru balances the books, does secretarial work, and has an aptitude for crafting, in addition to having a charm that attracts NPCs)
The only useful quality she has is the Echo, which she doesn't use until 2.5's ending.

Spoiler

The only time she was of any actual use was going with the Warriors of Darkness to their world, aka leaving use for good so Alphinaud can take her spot as the Scion's leader and Krile as the Non-Player Echo user.

I can't fully pin why, but I liked her well enough in 1.x, and not one bit since. Didn't dislike her, exactly, except for her inability to use linkpearls... just, didn't anything remotely attractive about her as a character.

1.00 players know the history of Minfilia and F'lhaminn and they share best girl status. Because.

She has a large network of friends in high places and she calls upon them frequently. Half of what we've been able to do is because she is who she is. Saying she isn't diplomatic or strategic would be wrong ;_;

What friends?
The Grandcompany leaders only come to her because she is the "face" of the Scions, who are only trusted because of Louisoix and the other Scion's/Circle of Knowing's efforts.
The only beneficial friend of hers we see, outside of the Scions, was Krile, who, like I said, took her spot in the group as the Non-Player Echo user.

Why do I feel like that's about to launch into her play of the game?

Minfilia was the manager who ran the Scions. She oversaw logistics, co-ordinating information, designation of tasks, recruitment and deployment of people including hirelings. A lot of the information and resources the Scions had were from her work. The Archons weren't involved in that because that work would have been a vast waste of their talents and while Tataru managed the books and sought revenue, it was Minfilia that ran the show.

People who dismiss the value of a good manager usually have never had to work under a bad one. The fact the Scions ran smoothly and we had so few hiccups over trivial things suggests that Minfilia did well as a manager.

Case in point is a quest you have in 2.5 where you escort a scholar. He is one of several scholars hired by Minfilia to gather data on Aetheric levels around Eorzea. If from readings like this that the Scions have been able to draw accurate conclusions on declining Aetheric levels in Eorzea. She (apologetically) asks the WoL to step in and act as a bodyguard because they have found themselves unexpectently short handed. We do in that quest the type of work the lower rank Scions such as Hoary usually do. All of that is Minfilia's work and that is one example of what she is up to behind the scenes that we don't usually get to see.

The Scions, post HW, becomes a much less organised organisation and more a group of associates that share information and assist each other but fundamentally act independently.

Bitches, please... There's only one best girl, and it's the god damn WoL.

Yeah, me.

This is the best waifu tho

Ok, I'll play...

The thing about Minfilia is that it's dificult for you to appreciate a character that works behind the scenes if the game doesn't actually show that. My character doesn't have to be with her when she's doing the thinking, tactical stuff or diplomatics, but at least let me the Player see what she's capable of from a "reader" point of view. But right now I guess it's too late for that and the "useless" stigma is already there to stay. I like Minfilia's design and I wish she had more "camera time", because it's obvious she does stuff, the problem is that SE never actually bothered to show us what she can do when our character isn't present, unlike the other Scions.

Best girl?!

Right here!

I think you should play the game before you post on the forums.

She was around 22 in 1.0. You may be referring to the use of the Echo to see events that Thancred was privy to in her past.

How could you total losers forget the true best girl?

They also don't really have a physique that's very appealing... Almost looks like they have a massive head and a tiny body.
