Gods, I hope I'm not the only one who feels like this.
    Agreed, i never heard anyone talking about how awesome Haurchefant was until AFTER he died. Nobody cared. He was just another dude in a very long storyline. And, I'm on the big RP server... If people like a character, they never shut up about them. Until his death? Nobody even mentioned him.

    I was soo mad when a character I actually liked during Heavensward died. She was like the Moon Knight in White Knight Chronicles transforming in mid air and shet. I was like "YEAAAAAAHHH, kick aazzzz!!) but then she dies while my character once again sits like a friggen lump. Dammit. Hope they bring her back through Shiva or something. Like every interesting character who isn't the Scions just friggen die. Its annoying....

    I actually liked Haurchefant even before he died. He was one of the few people not connected to the scions or the three starting city-states to actually help the adventurer of his own free will. Sure, we had to help him clear his friend's name, but after that he was willing to do whatever it took to help us. I'm going to miss him quite a lot.

    If I die, forgive me. I used to be a Dragoon.

    Considering they basically made him "American" friendly for the English translations, it's no wonder some people don't understand. His Japanese counterpart was much more prominent in character, or so I've heard. Can't read Japanese myself :P

    So don't have a lot of time to reply to each person at the moment but wanted to make a quick point:

    Like dragonkyn, I *always* adored Haurchey. He was my favorite nom-voiced NPC BY A MILE. Here's the thing about people "not shutting up," about someone: not all of us use the forums as our place to gush. Most people I know are for more active over on reddit bscause no post limitations and the like and also because the forum community can be beyond brutal. And if it seems suspect to you, look at my forum history. You'll notice, I have barely posted outside of utility reasons for things like letting folks know Odin spawn times or requesting features. So maybe you didn't hear anything about him pre-death. Maybe plenty of people didn't care. But he had enough of a following here and in Japan for him to make an insanely awesome appearance in the 2014 Heavensturn event. (1/2)

    And like Dragonflyy said: they totally ruined him in the US compared to JP......AND I still always loved him.

    If you think I'm full of it, ask Dragonflyy. He's my husband and had to put up with me squeeling at the top of my lungs when Haurchefant became a major part of the MSQ and especially when he got a voice.

    And the fact of thr matter is that regardless of when the love for him started, we couldn't have saved Ishgard without him. Period. That deserves as much respect as Ysalye. Although in my eyes it deserves a lot more because it was done out of love, selflessness, and the belief in something greater than ones self.

    Everyone's forgetting Ysalye LEAD in the slaughter of innocents in her "quest" to save the world. Hate to tell ya'll, but even she wasn't a huge fan of herself at the end. Her Tale from the Dragonsong War makes that exceedingly clear. (2/2)

    I found the Japanese version of Haurche way too creepy. The localizers did a good thing, in my humble opinion, even the North American version bordered on creepy.

    I tried finding a picture of a skeleton drinking hot cocoa for the OP, but my google image search turned up blank.

    that must be a very good version since EU version is already my favourite character in this game.

    In the jp version he was extremely animated, kindda silly and very flirtatious with your character. NA version he was very monotone, calm and boring.

    There are a bunch of comparisons online that play the same cs side by side to show the difference and we even got an apology from the localization team about it.
