are we still gonna travel with alphinaud in 4.0?

we spent so much time with him already, we know all about him. i kinda want either other scion with small screentime like thancred /ysthola or more new character instead

While I don't mind other scion tagging along and dwelling more into their stories, I quite like Alphinaud and hope he will be part of the story in 4.0.
Well I know at least he will follow us from the Revolutions video, but still hope that we will seem him all along 4.x.

Yes, of course he is the main character to the plot.
He will be with us through the very end, and he will sacrifice himself for Eorzea and have a bloody death.

I do hope that somewhere along the expansions he should 'age' up and get older.

i thought we're the main character? is it because hes the grandson of louisoix?

Can't disagree that I hate when stories are around a secondary character rather the one you're in control: just feels detached and it's even one of the reasons why i don't even follow it.

I mean sure it can work sometimes, but this is no Sherlock Holmes!

I feel the opposite. There are too many stories where the main character is conveniently the savior in the plot. I like that supporting characters count in this game too. This isn't just about the Warriors of Light, this is the world.

Fair enough, but don't forget that "I'm" the main character and not to sound greedy, the story should revolve around "me", the one in control, and not some secondary character that I really feel no sympathy for.

White Knight Chronicles did this mistake too, forcing you to make an avatar who follows the MC, and while I could control him as well...why didn't they just make the MC customizable or just drop the idea? And that game wasn't really an mmorpg either, so it made even less sense to that regard. I can give it some slack here but, I thought this was an epic story about the warrior of light, and not the transporter!

And on the regard about the "world", I got 3 words that describe my take on this: "Show, don't tell". Oh, and drop the instancing already: it's hard to feel in a world where I get loading screens every 3 nanoseconds!

Both the twins will be along for the ride but I get the feeling Lyse will play a more central role in our travels. We have seen cutscenes with us with both Twins but literally every scene shown with the WoL also had Lyse in it. By the look of it most of the Scions will be staying in Ala Mhigo though. We only take a few with us to Doma.

I'm not really surprised Alphinaud is tagging along again after all he went through with us in Stormblood. I get the impression our little group is going to being acting as a diplomatic party for Eorzea in this particular conflict.

I like to think I'm making him feel more secure about being the shortest non-Lalafell Scion (Though I'm pretty sure I'm still slightly taller even as a minimum height female Au Ra), so the thought of him hitting his growth spurt and suddenly towering over me is rather amusing.

I think it's going to be a bigger group and more hectic changes due to the setting
