    To get those facts straight: Thancred is 32, Minfilia 27 - however: her father died when she was around 12, so when Thancred started taking care of her as a father-figure he was 17. While 5 years arent such a big deal when you're 32 and 27, they kinda are when its 12 and 17. Its extremly creepy for me to think about Thancred watching Minfilia grow up and thinking more and more of her as wife-material and less and less of a daugther. Almost like he'd been grooming her *shiver*

    ...that I just want to add one little thing to, since pretty much everything else I would have wanted to say has already been said. Its a special pet peeve of mine, I'll admit that, but here it goes: I think I already mention how I'm not a fan of her eye candy status and outfit - theres nothing wrong with pretty characters, dont get me wrong, but please, please... dont make that the primary thing about them. Or contradricte their character - which is what I feel happend here.
    The important role during ARR that Minfilia is supposed to fill is that of a diplomant. That we never get to see her actually negoiate anything is one problem. That I couldnt take a diplomant in a pink leather outfit seriously the second one. And no, shes not wearing that because its hot in Thanalan. Her outfit isnt practical for her diplomatic role nor is it for hot weather - leather is terrible with heat after all...
    All of this screams "I'm just here to be pretty to look at!" to me - we're being told that she is somehow doing important stuff, but we never get to see her actually do that! All we get to see is her, in that outfit thats totall impractical.
