    The only thing Manfilla did well was get herself kidnapped. Alisaie Leveilleur was a 1000 times more capable then this woman.

    Minfilia was the token "pure princess" that everyone worshipped for no apparent reason. She was nice enough, to be sure, but she wasn't a diplomat, she wasn't a fighter, and at no time did she show herself adept at anything other than ordering people around - often after getting lost in decision paralysis until someone more competent spoke up to decide what needed to be done. What traits, skills, abilities did she have to warrant her leading the Scions? A pure heart, burning to do good? "Means well" isn't a job qualification. She was dead weight, there simply because some people thought she was cute, and some people thought she was sweet, and doesn't every story need a princess to rescue?

    Except that they don't. And I'm tired of the storyline continually going back to her as if we owed her something. She's a deus ex machina, and I'm frustrated by all of the good characters we've lost, who have been deprived of screentime, or who we didn't get to learn about because we were too busy tending to Minfilia having vapours or being indecisive or getting kidnapped, again. Alphie annoyed me through most of 2.0, but he was at least active, and he had a really good coming-of-age/growing-up arc. Minfilia has never had one, because the game treats her as if she's already perfect when she's simply a tepid, 2D sprite.

    "Maybe she'll be better written this time!" Sorry, I'd still rather they give the screen to someone new and interesting that doesn't give me flashbacks of "WoL, dear, please carry this piece of paper across the room, I called you all the way across three zones for this."

    Looking foward for it.
    Linkperl-Talk is not encoded. I think they mentioned in some of the latest story that linkperl calls can be intercepted and detected.

    Why we need Minfilia 9ne more time? She was dead and in a good way. Things like this is what make a good story in to shit.

    It could be due to her weakening and the only form she could take on

    She's the avatar of Hydaelyn. That makes her fairly important when the Source is coming apart at the seams.

    Also, when she left for the First, she said that she'd find a way to do the impossible and find a way back to us, as we always did for her. This is her fulfilling that promise.

    They should have kept Minfillia on that bus that drives people away from the plot.
