An NPC you truly hate with passion

[Anienai]

Post here and image of the one that is cringe worthy for you and you hate.

My choice goes for Nanamo ul Namo

And her useless lala friend Tataru Taru.

[Rosalynd]

Estinien alongside pretty much every single god damned lala NPC in the game.

If i had to pick someone to be at the very top of my hatred list, it's Tataru.

Go to hell, Tataru.

Where's that "nice motive, still murder" gif when I need it.

Here ya go.

Honestly, I don't think there's a single character in all of the video games I have played in my life that I despise more than Minfillia. She is the most useless NPC I have ever had the displeasure of interacting with, and as someone who has a severe problem in making alts, her stupid linkpearl calls and fetch quests alone are the reason why my characters are slow to progress after meeting the Scions.
Her dialogue... oh god her dialogue. It's probably my own damn fault but I started to use her phrase "must needs" in my own speech in a scathingly mocking/ironic kind of way, but it's since become something of a bad habit and I hate it so much someone please stop me.
I could probably write an entire book on why I hate her. I was about to right here and now, but I figure I'll just leave it at that.

Lyse and Minfillia, and for nearly the exact same reasons to be perfectly frank. They're both written to be 'strong' or at least the narrative is written in such a way that makes it clear that's how the writers want us to perceive them; and yet they're both anything but. Minfillia at the very least is acknowledged as 'waifu' bait and shunted off screen as of this current patch cycle, but Lyse has all the hallmarks of a strong character while constantly being undermined. They both come off as cognitively dissonant characters. Minfillia supposedly the most useful of the Scions who still doesn't know what a linkpearl is bloody used for; and Lyse who literally has all her character defining moments legitimately stolen or retracted for the sake of the plot. I cannot stand characters who regress in intelligence or worth simply because the plot demands it, and they both are constant offenders of this in spite of the story /never/ acknowledging it.

Lyse especially is a dual offender in this regard. Her story arc during the Steppes was interesting and you could see the beginnings of growth slowly taking root, and yet all of it was retracted the second we shifted focus back to Ala Mhigo. Suddenly she was the leader of the Resistance for little more reason than she /had/ no reason, aside from plot convenience; and yet not two missions later she was regulated back to a common foot soldier once the invasion took place. Thancred, Raubahn, and even /Pippin/ and /HIEN/ were more pivotal to the reclamation of Ala Mhigo than she was. Hell she was taking orders /FROM/ Raubahn instead of collaborating with him like an equal. It just left one hella bad taste in my mouth when after Shinryu was beaten she strutted around like she was hot shit when she literally did /nothing/; just followed the Warrior of Light around like a lost puppy.

I also quite hate the fact that I've encountered no small amount of backlash for pointing these things out either. I've been called misogynistic for not worshiping the ground either of them walk upon and it's done little to help my hatred. I love strong characters and can even appreciate weak ones, but I /cannot/ stand characters who I'm told are strong but the writing makes them anything but regardless of their gender.

You could always just respond with "If I'm misogynistic, why am I playing as a girl?"
Besides, anyone who goes right for the "You're just sexist/racist/homophobic/anto-whatever-religion" card the moment you criticize a character, odds are that person isn't worth listening to.

"go there, go here, pick this thing for me , you are the wol but please carry this box for me it's so heavyyy"

This can be applied to literally every single quest giver in the game, as hyped up as the WoL is, you are more or less a glorified errand boy and treated as such.

Hate is a bit strong, but Yugiri annoyed the hell out of me in the MSQ when she went to attack Zenos. She is told that attacking Zenos is not only foolish as he is more powerful than even the WoL, but that in the slim chance they are successful, it would invite the full wrath of the empire, dooming Doma. She of course, disregards all of this because "muh dreams" and you have to go along with her plan. You were already making great but careful strides in liberating Doma, she completely jeopardized all of it (and does alert the Garleans to the Scions being in Doma)

Curious Gorge, can't wait for the next WAR questline where we get to watch him sulk and whine for losing control again.

Or, my favorite, 'wait so do I hate myself if I hate all women?! HAS MY LIFE BEEN A ONE GIANT LIE?!'

And nah, I'm pretty much of that mind as well. It just annoys me when it happens.

I have been called misogynistic too for calling out a good portion of the female characters in this game being absolutely infuriatingly bad, especially in Stormblood. Lyse, Yotsuyu, Fordola, Cirina, and Yugiri... They are all just really, really bad characters. I hate that I hate almost every single female in SB but they keep trying to waifu them all, even when they are awful people, and it is obvious and obnoxious.

But overall, my least favorite characters are Zenos, Lyse, Minfilia, and Geva (the god damn leatherworkers guild master).

Trahear.. erm I meant Alphinaud.

Can I go with 'noone'?

I'mma go with none.

Maybe, Minfillia, I think she's lame. But 'truly hate with passion'? Sheesh.
