@YianKutku: I agree with your post. I do wish we had more characters like Lolorito that might not be powerful as a fighter but still untouchable. I would also be fine with maybe one character that is way above us for certain reasons but such a character must be neutral or it would not make sense that it would not just simply kill us and destroy the world. So its more along the way of "thankfully that one is not our enemy"-character.

I do dislike powerful enemies that came out of nowhere. For me Zenos falls under that one. If you want to have a character that is stronger than someone that slayed 13 primals at the same time alone, you will have to make it believable. And even though they had given us a reason I am still feeling a bit off about him. The built up was just not good enough for me. If he would have been a character that would have stayed around til the end of this expansion this would have been kind of better imo, but we somehow stood no chance for two times and then we just defeated him. (With help or solo)

The only characters that I am fine with are either from the Void, thus an unknown zone, or like the WoDs from another plane of existents thus this is the reason why we did not hear from them until now.

In the end I believe the Ascians are the only ones that will stay near equal to us in the story. I mean we do need certain items to even be able to permanently kill them so its not that we can defeat them completely on our own. Also I am fine if the WoL gets overwhelmed by strong groups because there is a difference if one is able to kill one Diabolos or if you have to fight 20 enemies while each are having the strength of Diabolos. I am not that fine if we get defeated by a handful of NPC soldiers.
