Zenos Appreciation Thread [Massive Spoilers]

[Lunafreya]

He should at least killed Lyse.

Yeah, let's just make Lyse's reveal so pointless when she is the reason Stormblood exists.

Actually, Mr.Sloppy is the reason Stormblood exists.

[Tsukino]

Never selected a choice so fast.

All Lyse had to do was Wind Tackle dammit! She could have made it!

I thought Zenos was pretty terrible, but this reminds me this is worth pointing out. In Japanese he only says "my first and last friend." Localization team added the "enemy" part.

It's confused cause they aren't friends. In what way is he friendly? Did he buy you drinks? Is he protecting you from your pissed off GF? Did he order you lunch and housesit? NO! He flat out tried to kill you every chance he got. Just cause he thinks you're his "rival" doesn't make him your friend. Standard badguy anime thing 24.

The greatest of rivals are the best of friends, because they exist to elevate each other to new heights. All Zenos cared about was finding someone he could compete with, even if he had to raise that person himself. It is why he had so much vested interest in Fordola, and why he had so much vested interest in the WoL. It is why ultimately he saw the WoL as his friend, because after a single trouncing the WoL grew so much in a short time span. Zenos saw that this person would finally grant him what he had been desiring for so long, what he needed to feel whole.

Zenos does not give even a tenth of a fuck about Garlemald, but he does like picking up the underdogs and nurturing them to be something greater. If they have the potential.

In german he says
"Farewell...my only companion...my hunter."

Zenos was flipping nuts.

Y'all are flippin' nuts.

Zenos is nuts but that doesn't mean he's a good character. People acting like he's an amazing villain in the series when Kefka exists makes me laugh.

Kefka isn't here in FF14 now is he? For FF14, Zenos is all we have.

[Thunda_Cat_SMASH]

You all told Zenos that you'd accept him as a friend, right?

Right?

What? Why would I? This world ain't big enough for two blood knights.

I hope the next villain will be as interesting as Kefka and won't be killed off early.
