so whens Alphinaud gonna die or sent offscreen for a long time?

[Tlamila]

I really liked him in HW, he changed completely..and then with SB he went back to his old annoying self. Makes no sense. And Alisae I can stand even much less than him. Please send both to a faraway place. I'd much rather have Thancred or Y'shtola near (or Tataru, but she's too busy with other things), but it seems instead the WoL is the official babysitter of the twins.

She also allowed the tempered Ananta into Ala Mhigo in spite of knowing full well that tempered individuals cannot be trusted and will always work towards furthering their Primal's goals.

We worked with Ysayle, who by Hraesvelgr's admission, essentially tempered/brainwashed herself.

Also starting peace talks with saying that everyone can come and then immediately turning around and saying "but not you" is not the greatest way to start peace talks.

This might be derailing, but as a male who has a twin sister irl, Alphinaud and Alisae looking exactly alike bothers the hell out of me. Male/female twins don't look like that.

I really wish we could get rid of him, he's been an annoyance since the end of ARR. It really annoys me how much he bosses my character around when he's just an arrogant child.

Him constantly telling my character what to do, (and my character blindly obeying without question) bothers me as well, but I don't see Alphinaud as a bad person. Hence why he felt so strongly about the events that unfolded with the Crystal Braves. Alphinaud's intentions are pure, but the way he goes about things makes him seem like a snobby privileged jerk.

Hating on Alphinaud has pretty much become a meme at this point. All the people hating on him are just jumping on the bandwagon and don't understand how Storytelling and character development work.


They aren't going to replace or kill off the character that's been with us from the beginning and is the driving force for the story, get real.

While he's been arrogant, I've never gotten that sense of being ordered around by him one bit. Keep in mind, the WoL effectively just goes with the flow of things, and does what they feel is right in the moment. Not as a Scion, not as a hero, just simply as an adventurer. But again, I point out that our nature as an adventurer is a limitation where he otherwise is able to perform, and vice versa. You're two sides of the same coin, but can never be counted as one. You'd just be too powerful that way.

[WilhelmWhite]

While I don't care for his demeanor sometimes, I do love the fact that he likes being a part of the action. I actually enjoyed every solo instance where I fought alongside him.

...

they allowed her whit the requirement what she went inside whit no cristals or weapon at all, they didn't expected what they had tempered soldiers(if they act as usual and do not pray to a primal, you can tell they are primal thralls?) who hid cristals on the chamber the meeting was going to happen, by no way they expected what that ananta could be able to summon a primal right there because they deprived of the cristals she had on herself

I'm not sure how you reached that conclusion, she could be pretty delusional but that's very different to being tempered.

Also starting peace talks with saying that everyone can come and then immediately turning around and saying "but not you" is not the greatest way to start peace talks.

"Everyone can come except for the mind controlled minions of a demi-god that would slowly suck the planet dry," seems perfectly reasonable to me, the tempered cannot be trusted. We learn that by level 20.
