I've just been thinking about this a bit since the Live Letter. They talked about how Shadowbringers will allow you to retrace the steps of their party in The First. But I have to say I'm really not all that invested in them to find that interesting. Has anyone else felt the same?

I find it hard to empathize or feel sympathy for the characters. I mean, look at how they acted in the cutscenes. I remember how Arbert ordered J'rhoomale to shoot down our scion ally without any remorse or hint of care. They relished in it, even. They set out to murder us for their own gain, whilst speaking nothing but trash to us might I add.

Sure they have their own world and problems but I feel like there's some strange leap I'm meant to take to go from wanting them dead to wanting to see their story and care about them. I'm concerned that I've missed/forgotten some huge redemption on their part in the story.
