Nero and Crystal tower raid (spoilers)

[Naunet]

It's been a long, long time since I did these quests, but if I recall correctly the feeling was that the Crystal Tower was the greater concern and needed to be dealt with pronto.

Having just done these quests a couple days ago, I gotta agree with the OP that this story was... not well done, at least on the part of Nero. His presence felt very weird throughout the entire thing, as everyone basically ignores him and lets him do his own thing after he and Cid exchange a couple harsh words. The WoL and friends behave far too trusting to be believed, and his exchanges when you're in the Void (especially when running away) felt very out of left field for the way the character had been established up until now. I see what the writers were trying to do, but it was super clunky in execution.

That said, as I haven't quite exhausted all the quests in this game, I must know - are the plot threads of Nero and G'raha Tia ever picked up again? Or have they just been dangling since the last installment of the Crystal Tower? (Also, will SE ever grow tired of killing and/or metaphorically fridging all of their actually good characters???)
