The worst Scion

is the WoL.

The Warrior of Light is the worst character in this game. They can do no wrong. They can insult a clearly distraught introverted kid and the kid will somehow take it kindly. They have literally zero character development. They will get taken aback for the 300th time when someone tells them how much they mean to them.

Somehow this Scion will come up with all kinds of powers the moment the plot needs them to. But if the plot demands it, they will angrily stare at the villain, maybe take a step forward to show just how ANGRY they are, while the villain kidnaps an item or a person and ambulates off the horizon at three ilms an hour.

It's like this Scion is a self-insert for someone with zero self-esteem who needs to be praised by everyone every hour. But the game doesn't actually allow you to self-insert yourself into this Scion. You see, because the moment you want to disagree with Alphinaud on a decision or one of his many monologues, the game doesn't let you. You can't tell Alisaie to chill out before she gets into trouble. You can't criticize Thancred for how he treated Ryne. You can't express what you think of the Garleans or the Ala Mhigans unless another Scion explicitly asks you, and then you are given two non-offensive options. Playing the WoL doesn't feel like playing a self-insert character. It feels like playing a mute paragon with a specific personality and outlook the writers forced on you.

The closest to that would be The Old Republic but the only need to really write for "you are a saint or you are a jerk".

Then sprinkle on flavor text for middle ground stuff...which that alone is a ton of work cause it's voice acted and multiple dialog options.

However that MMO is modeled after their other similar single player games so they had the experience. They just took a single player game and made it an MMO.

SQEX took an MMO and made it single player. I agree I rather have it the other way round though.

Congrats on describing basically every MMORPG player character. I'm sure that was difficult to find out.

It's thancred.

Him constantly shitting on ryne throughout all of of shb because "he cared" was extremely annoying.

It's definitely Alisaie.

Tataru. Evil scheming little brat.

And put her together with Krile.... urrghhh. Poor Estinien.

I think it's Thancred, honestly. I didn't appreciate how he treated Ryne ;w;

I would also say Tataru, but she is always watching and I don't feel like being murdered in my sleep by a potato adkkad;ad;lakdl

G'raha Tia after 5.3. He is Alphinaud (studious, nerdy, young brother deuteragonist and the man with the plan) but in a catboy body. He competes with Alphinaud for screentime since they are both the same character and fulfill the same role in the narrative. Should have gracefully bowed out of the narrative as the much more respectable Crystal Exarch in 5.3.

After G'raha, I'd almost say Y'shtola, for constantly putting down other people and for repeated bullcrap survivals.

There is also Krile, who is utterly useless and could be removed from the narrative and you would lose nothing, but I guess she isn't as irritating as the above two Scions are.

G'raha Tia.

Crystal Exarch was awesome
But Endwalker G'raha Tia is annoying

That's because the writing in Endwalker is abysmal.

The worst Scion for me was " Minfilia ". Players only cared for two features she had and with the Echo managed to be a worse secretary then Tataru, who also was more capable of managing the Scions finances. Even if I consider Oracle-Minfilia as a Scion, I still put Minfilia at the bottom.

" Y'shtola " has the worst personality. Exuding an mom attitude when she managed to get blind the 1st time getting stuck in the lifestream... only to still have an attitude after getting stuck a 2nd time (without negative consequences?). Never stood next to me in an Extreme or Savage Fight and Y'shtola still manages to give me lip. But even if she got stuck in the lifestream a 3rd time! ( which wouldn't surprise me ), I would rank her above Minfilia who remains at the bottom.

Everyone else improved with a mix of personality, character or their acts and deeds. Though of course, personal opinion.

I agree, the worst Scion is the Warrior of Light.

Your Warrior of Light though, not mine. Yes, I'm talking specifically to you. Your Warrior of Light sucks. My Warrior of Light is a cool girl.

During this read my face went from stiff, to a gasp , i stood backward , then retook my dead face pose , then i nodded , my stiff face went from deadpan to grinning , i nodded a again , then shrugged and i creepily watched you walk off screen only moving my head , still managing to keep the rest of my body perfectly still.


Fade to black

Nah Graha is by far the worst.
