The only thing we ever see her do is stand in the Solar and give us orders (she does step out on occasion, but still contributes little to the mission if we're on one), while we're constantly told how valuable and important she is. Meanwhile the camera is constantly pointed at her... it gets irritating. Really, really irritating.

    Don't know why we're talking about Gaius and Minfilia when this is supposed to be about 3.1... how did we get here?
    There's absolutely nothing wrong with talking about two of the greatest characters this game has. There's no need to put an end to anything, people will talk about what they want, and move on when they're longer interested by the topic. Forcing the issue won't accomplish anything.

    Oh, but I must disagree.

    Lahabrea is clearly the greatest character this game has.

    Hildibrand is so much more than a character...

    He's a philosophy, a religion, and a way of life.

    Pretty sure I said "two of the greatest characters", implying there are several more. :P Lahabrea is definitely another great one, as is Elidibus for that matter. To truly appreciate a character, you have to recognize not just all that they do, but also their potential for doing more. Minfilia, Gaius and Lahabrea deliver on all of these fronts.
