Estinien might have been "flat" because he was supposed to be the realism to Ysayle's idealism. Estinien was basically a devout citizen of Ishgard and wanted to kill the dragons fro what they done to it and himself, but after the truth bombs were dropped about Thordon, he would continue to fight only for the people of Ishgard, not the politics behind it. He was also willing to entertain Ysayle's idea of a parley with dragons just to give the idea a chance, but he knew from the beginning that it wouldn't work.

It's what I think anyway.
