Can I please have the option to dropkick Alphinaud and Minfilia

[Artemiz]

Minfilia doesn't bother me too much but I'd like to drop kick Alphinaud in the face, he's just..... annoying. In fact I'd like them to make a practice dummy in his image, I'd put so much effort into hitting it I'd be the best DPS on the data center!

I also want more open ended storytelling where I get to actually CHOOSE the outcome, like choosing which Grand Company to join. I want to be able to go off and join the Garlean Empire and do things for them and make moral choices that effect the outcome of the world.

I can totally see why being a guinea pig for bizarre Garlean experiments would be... wait no, that wouldn't be fun at all.

I'm surprised nobody said they hated Urianger, with how slow he talked in 2.0.

I'm also surprised nobody here wants to dropkick the characters who actually need to be dropkicked: Lolorito and Dewlala. Sure, they weren't in this patch, or the last one, but they're not gone. Because they've got two of my favorite characters, Nanamo and Raubahn, under their thumbs, Lolorito/Dewlala can easily ruin them in ways worse than death.

So, yeah, my two gil: I'd face-smash Lolorito and Dewlala. Especially Lolorito... Dewlala, I might kissy-kiss first, because even though I hate her, she's a pretty lady. Then I'd face-smash her!

The reason why the Horde are like that in WoW is to make a point that evil is never just black and white

What does that have to do with anything? My point was about how in WoW you can't choose your own adventure any more than you can on here. You can choose your faction at the start of the game, but you can't choose to defect to horde as a gnome for example, and you can't go up to Tyrande and say you don't feel like killing orcs.

I respect your opinion that morals do not play a part in Final Fantasy

I didn't say that. I said the ability to CHOOSE the way the story goes is not what final fantasy does (with the exception of X-2 I believe). The other games I mentioned do give you that choice, by way of a moral system, so you can end up with the 'good' ending or the 'bad' ending or whatever based on the choices you make in game. If you want a game where you get to choose what happens; kill the characters you don't like; shoot puppies, etc. then those are more suitable for you.

Can we please have the option to turn evil and kill both of them in the next expansion. Pretty please...

Sure. Just buy two more copies of ARR, create their look-alikes and then multibox 'em in PvP. Problem solved. You can kill them over and over and over and over and ...

The OP characterizations lack depth. This is not uncommon if one skips most of the cutscenes and races through the dialog.

The hatred for the color pink probably rises because it is the color of the level 5 chest piece most players get to wear. It is rather ugly.

Guys, OP hasn't even finished 2.55, they have another thread complaining about all the stuff they have to do before Heavensward. Their point is pretty outdated because they're dealing with 2.x Minfilia and Alphinaud.

Yeah, they were pretty annoying characters in 2.0, SE heard that and they got some personality changes between the end of ARR and where we are now in HW... except Minfilia who's been MIA until this patch, and even then she was barely present. I find Alphinaud got much more tolerable in 3.0+ and I hated him in 2.0-2.55.

This thread is just someone really upset that they have to go through a large chunk of story to get where everyone else is. They're being forced to deal with these characters really frequently because of their role in the story. OP would have had a valid point if they'd kept their temper tantrum out of it.

I've seen such an up-surge in the word "salty" being used to describe reprehensible behavior on the 'Net, that I think we need a word to counterbalance the spectrum.

How about spicy? I love being spicy.

Anyway, back on topic, I think I can see where the OP is coming from. Alphanaud's pity-party, I thought, was well-done, as annoying as it may have been. I think SE made it annoying on purpose; I remember my character in a cutscene giving Alphy "the look." You know, that look that just says, "Just stop effing talking, right now." I loved it.

Guys, OP hasn't even finished 2.55

So? What about the others agreeing that Alphy needs a good caning to teach him some humility and put him in line after they have finished the most recent msq? If your only argument is "lol noob" you have failed.

I'm surprised nobody said they hated Urianger, with how slow he talked in 2.0.

We haven't been force fed Urianger in every other step of the MSQ. When he talks its actually something important. Not the aspirations of a whiny child trying to play hero.

Uh. Did you even read half the posts in this thread? Most of the replies are talking about them in the current MSQ which OP isn't going to get because they're not there yet. Which is why I said "guys" as in "everyone else" because there is a photo of Minfilia in 2.3 as well as other mentions to the HW story.

[Edewen]

I actually did having written several myself. And if half are agreeing that the op needs to play further, the other half are agreeing that Alphy needs to play less. But again, you seem to be missing the mark concerning yourself with only the op and not the people who agree. 0/2 but good effort. keep trying.
