You prefer Zenos with or without the Helmet

One year has passed since Stormblood was released. Stormblood covers and most promotional materials show Zenos with his helmet on. However, he has it off for most of the game.

That said, do you prefer seeing Zenos with or without the helmet?

I like Zenos in either, but I prefer it off.

I prefer he keeps it on. The man needs to wash his dang hair and I don't want to see it until he does.

The Warrior of Light should have been wiser than that to just assume he was dead and actually made sure of that (my headcanon Enki would have beheaded him with a simply a quick downward thrust of Curtana as he lay there... but alas..).

And I can even picture the line to go with it: ;)

(Zenos has just apparently committed suicide as Raubahn rushes in)
Raubahn: "Where is he?"
Alphinaud: "He's dead. By his own hand."
Enki: (eyes narrowed) "Wait! We better check for a pulse though..."
(Draws Curtana and then thrusts down, decapitating him in one stroke)
Enki: "No pulse..."

:p

Yes I know I kinda ripped off Pacific Rim with that... :p

I like the way these two think.

Without. I want to see his raw carnal emotions and hear his absolutely breath taking voice and watch his godly golden locks flow as he runs me through...

Without pants, but I'll take without helmet as a consolation prize.

I would've preferred him cremated.

I mean, if he has to be alive, then helmet-less so he can emote, but.

Dead, on fire, crushed into an unrecognizable mess, hacked up, and all his hair cut off.

For reasons.

Although the hair thing is just out of spite, admittedly.

Beheaded, dead and cremated please.

Yes, I'll go with that too, and I'll go with that approach for your Dotharl boy, too. :P

Anyway, the helmet suited him when he had an aura of mystery about him, without suited better when you knew who he was and what he had planned for you. He's a great looking character.

Not a huge fan of Ala Mhigans so I won't be joining the "beheaded" chants.

You may not have needed to...

By the game’s script, at least, that’s more or less what he already did to himself. It seems poor directing that they actually included a shot of him lying there with his head visible and no apparent injuries, because what was implied up to that point had me envisaging something much more horrific. It should have been easy enough to frame and leave it to the player’s imagination.

In any case I definitely remember someone remarking (I think at the point we heard that he was supposedly alive again) that he couldn’t have survived those injuries because he’d almost beheaded himself. Which is prettymuch what I thought had happened in the first place.

You're aiming way too low. I'm sure if you asked nicely he'd remove both.

Definitely helmet ON for me for two reasons.

First of all, like Gaius's, his helmet looks cool.

Secondly, he has the face of a typical Kpop boyband person. I want us men to be masculine. Not boyish.

I definitely prefer without helmet because I can hear his velvet voice clearly and enjoy looking at his face; those eyes are terrifyingly beautiful and he has gorgeous hair.
(which btw, the ENG voice actor was nominated for Best Male Vocal Performance in a Video Game from the Behind the Voice Actor (BTVA) awards; sadly though, he didn't win).

I prefer a dragon swooping down and gobbling him up for a snack.

I prefer him the way he should be. Dead.

Edit: Looking back over previous posts, I guess I'm not the only one.

I'd prefer my greatsword shoved through his stomach with his number one fan right behind him. I'd call it the puppet kabob.

Boy, that escalated quickly.

As for me, i prefer him to be alive, so i can stab him.

Without helmet. I like characters like him with cold blooded eyes and just love clashing blades with them whenever I can! They're one of the most exciting types of characters to fight for me. Plus, Zenos is too pretty, too! ^^

I think they de-helmed Zenos way too early in the MSQ.

Without so I can see his gorgeous face of course as others have pointed out. I also wouldn't mind him butt naked on my bed. Or on the sofa. Or in front of the fireplace. Or above me as kneel to worship him or... anywhere.
So, so happy to see there are more Zenos fans here! Hey you lovelies!! <3
Perhaps we should start a cult or something? Darling Asahi could have been the main spiritual leader of the Sect of Zenos but alas SE had to ruin it. Finally I got to see not only one but two characters I actually adore in SB just to lose them. At least Estinien, and Ser Aymeric are still with us.
