Personally I find her attitude... cute for a lack of better word. Her obsession seems to be mainly with our strength (both of character and actual figthing strength) and not quite romantic. She's basically fangirling over the WoL. She might have a minor crush on us, but I don't think she's aware if she does. Given our relationship with the other Scions (or lack thereof), its sometimes refreshing to have someone like her around.

If anything I'm more annoyed with the writers pushing the Ga Bu thing on her for this long. While the lore consequences are interesting, I've found Ga Bu to be rather a hamfisted and boring plotpoint. Thus, making him a major motivation for a character doesn't leave a great taste in my mouth.

Plot armor is... fine? We are filling our dead npc qoutas decently well so quantity is okay. Having major characters die on a regular basis would just devalue the occasion. However the quality of plot armor could use some work... Y'sthola vs Zenos and Nanamo come to mind. Y'sthola vs Ranjit felt miles better because the Emet ex mahina made sense AND served a point besides just keeping her alive, so I guess they're improving.

Its fine to dislike the story (even if I vehemently disagree), but judging after skipping it seems... shallow?
"Y'sthola vs Ranjit" I actually can't make sense of how she had to almost kill herself in that occasion, and only because of Emet-Selch she was saved, while Ranjit survives completely unharmed with no explaination whatsoever. Hello, I'm so cool I can fall into neverending pits without problems.

On Alisae compared to the other Scions, i think that's what makes her seem so caring, the fact that Uri - Y'sh - Tan are basically icicles, so in comparison....but then I see Alphinaud display just as much affection if not more.
