*Spoilers* about the scions....

[Edax]

Lyse sure has not got much screen time despite her being the center of the videos before the expansion, she seemed more useful when she was a Pugilist wearing the mask, lol

I think Square Enix realized they wrote themselves into a corner by having a ditz become a rebel leader (for almost no reason) and are trying to distance themselves from that aspect of Stormblood. I was laughing when Lyse tried to narrate the introduction of each new zone, as if she were the new Count Edmont de Fortemps. Thing was, Fortemps was narrating out of his memoirs about the Dragonsong War, whereas Lyse was narrating ...a travel diary? And the only reason she's doing what she's doing is nepotism? I think SE realized she was better suited at being mysterious and punching things, then she was at being a ditzy rebel princess. In fact, her character was ill conceived as we learn she's a fraud with no leaderships skills and gets put into a position of leadership because of nepotism. In most stories, she'd be the antagonist. And it would be hard to write stories for her because we've already had stories about Sultana Nanamo learning how to be a leader, and Raubahn already has stronger ties to Ala Mhigo and he already has the leadership skills and charisma to lead.

At first I through removing Lyse would help the Scions get more character focus, and that is what happened...but now their all unconscious. *sigh*
