....

Good to know you got it all figured out,

Alisae was in bahamut raid in 2.0 and Alphinaud is the leader of the scions so his screen time is expected

Uhm... no, he isn't? They pretty much said "we don't need a leader at the moment" right after some insane person said "You should be Leader Mr. Annoying brat who doesn't learn from mistakes and have no character development at all"

Mr. Annoying brat who doesn't learn from mistakes and have no character development at all"

I think you missed the end of ARR and all of Heavensward. . . Anyways, I've said before that Alphinaud represents the Warrior of Light, that is, if you think of it as a concept, and not a personal title.

Think about it, while he hasn't been there for everything, he HAS been there for most major things, and as of Heavensward, often right beside you for it too. You both represent the concept of the WoL; you are the adventurer, the explorer, and the fighting hero who steps up to all challenges and threats to the realm. He is the diplomat, the strategist, and leader of men who holds influence where you would otherwise be incapable because of the nature of your life. You are what he can't be, and he is what you can't be.

Besides, every hero needs a partner/sidekick/best friend. Like it or not, regardless of your own personal head canons, it's him.
