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

[Hakuro89]

I'm so freaking sick of Alphinaud. He may have been a necessary plot device in the second half of ARR after that post-Titan s***storm happened, and honestly he felt like a 3rd wheel in Heavensward (I would've been content with just Estinien, Ysayle, and later Y'shtola), but I can't really understand why he needs to be everywhere in Stormblood too. Alisae was a breath of fresh air to me, she was actually fun to travel around with.

And Lyse is a whole other bag of nope. The only good thing about Lyse I saw in the entirety of SB so far is the jacket she had before the red dress (which still isn't dyeable btw). Every time she comes on screen, I find myself actually missing that happy-go-lucky lovable idiot she used to be.

tl;dr- Less Alphinope & Lyse, more Alisae & Yugiri.

I absolutely agree! Since 2.55 the I can't stand the GC leaders. I agree Alphinaud had the most development and I think he is a good character so far but through HW and SB I began to get a bit indifferent towards him. The only time he stood out to me was when he spoke about saving Estinien with us.

I think a character can still be a good one but not to everyone's taste. With that said, I'm one of those who thinks Alphinaud is a good as a character but I'm tired of him and he is really not interesting to me as it is now.

Not before his sister at the very least, I hope I mean, I found her pretty cool, especially in Coils and as our travel companion (especially compared to Lyse, who I reeeeaaaally hope ends up just appearing from time to time as her nation leader now... can't stand her to the point I skip all cutscenes that have her speak more than 2 sentences or so v.v ), but I feel like recently she exists solely for making fun of Alphinaud. And while it's funny once in a while, he's so easy to make fun of, it's getting a bit stale already IMO.

I'm on board for 'Alphie' getting a sleep dart or twenty to the neck. I never understood why they went with actual kids as some of the most prominent heroes of the story (barring WoL obviously.) Hell, actually even as WoL, all we do is nod our head to the kids' wishes and go run along. I don't think any character deserves a death, but a long hiatus or even just stepping down from the forefront would be fine with me.

I've never liked Alisae. She and Lyse were the worst parts of SB for me. Yugiri got on my nerves when it involved Zenos. I use to like her but she has dragged me into some foolish quests that I would have declined if given an actual choice.

[QUOTE=Delily;4572706]Arrogant is the last thing Alphinaud is, especially after the Crystal Warriors saga. Alisae's arrogance is only around her brother, because she knows that Alphinaud intentionally steps back because he doesn't want to tread boundaries. Zenos? He's a mindless killing animal that had to be put down. Fordola would kill us the instant we turned our backs on her, because of who we are and what we represent. She is not, nor will she ever, our waifu. The WoL is not evil. We do not work for the Empire. In the games many shades of grey, the Empire is one that is definitely not something most people would support.

We will always take a back seat to the NPCs because this is a JRPG, with a siln




I mean his sister is arrogant not him.

I'd say more aloof than arrogant. Stormblood has really developed her. She's very self aware, as she knew her limitations with magic and choose to learn about red mages. She know her brother is better in the planning room than on the field (although they're both accomplished fighters). She's detached, yes, but she was willing to stay back and fend off the red kojin. She'll never be a people person, but she's learned a great deal about assessing people's strengths and weaknesses.

How to turn an Alphinaud into an Alphiyes

[ThirdChild_ZKI]

As I mentioned before, you and Alphinaud represent the WoL concept. You're both technically a WoL, just in different aspects.

So the only way he's getting "sent offscreen for a long time" is if you do.

Even the war itself Lyse seemed to not do much, she did more in ARR and HW
