To be fair, I see a lot of people say they're not impressed with Regula because he isn't like Gaius and Varis because he isn't like Solus but neither of them have been given much screen-time and even when they are the antagonists are typically forced to fail due to the silly plot armour surrounding the Warrior of Light, Cid and the Scions in general. Personally I think they haven't really decided which direction they're going in with Garlemald which is why things are left so vague. I'd like to see more cutscenes developing the antagonists for a change - and not just 'sneak peeks' either. We never encountered Drace directly in FFXII and yet she had an entire story arc to herself that took place in cut-scenes alone.
