I'd like to kill the Scions

[TeraRamis]

Please... just let me betray and eliminate my erstwhile papier-mâché band of fake people. I'm so done having this unlikable entourage tagging along every expansion. It's gotten to the point where it would no longer be satisfying enough for me to watch, say, Y'shtola die - I need to do it myself (and, hey! It's not like she could see it coming!).





I get that this is a Final Fantasy; I get that these characters are intended to be my 'party.' But that really isn't true, is it? They never really help me; they're never present at ground zero when **** truly hits the fan in, say, a raid - other players are. Other players are my real party; other players are my friends, allies, comrades, etc. Thus, the Scions are doubly ridiculous - they're both annoying/poorly written, and they're superfluous to a game that emphasizes teamwork with other human beings.

If I can't behead the lot of them with my big DRK sword all Gaffgarion-style, at least leave the Scions stranded bodiless on the First. This is the perfect opportunity to be rid of them... so even if I cannot have the pleasure of cutting big, gaping holes in some plot armor, you can at least do us all (okay, most of us? The vast majority of us? The sane minority of us?) the favor of assuring the Scions' collective departure from the story moving forward.

Please.

While I don't feel the desire to go all backstabby about it, I would apprecaite it if they actually let some deaths be final. Papalymo got the short end of the stick as being the only Scion that SE found truly dispensable. But yeah, as a whole, I just really dislike how they have so many fake deaths in this game. Lets start having some proper deaths! Just don't hurt Alphinaud, he's adorable.

The sad thing is, the only two Scions I somewhat enjoyed have both been written out. Once Papalymo went, I feel like they didn't know what to do with Yda anymore.

What we're left with are the dregs.

Definitely can’t agree. I like the cast quite a lot, honestly I’d like to see more of them. As for them being in raids they just don’t really have the numbers for it currently, but given Memoria I’m hopeful they’ll do that next expansion honestly.

The scions are fine, Thancred was great this expansion and the twins and urianger are always enjoyable.
It would be nice for one of Y'shtola's many "deaths" to stick, but that's less because I dislike her and more because the plotarmor is pretty clear. It's practically a running gag at this point.
I also wouldn't mind if they'd play for keeps more with major characters. Some important deaths of characters who aren't just relevant for one expansion would be nice. But I'm okay with the Scions.

Hell, this is the first time they've all been in focus together since ARR. Usually we only get focus on one at a time.

I actually agree with most of what Gaius says during his elevator rant in Prae. Certainly, he makes a lot more sense than some lazy do-nothing like Kan-E-Senna. I want my character to drop kick that horned idiot every time she opens her mouth.

If the FFT thread didn't make it obvious this poster is trolling for reactions, this thread sure does.

Between them and the raving SJW guy there are more people posting insincere or outlandish viewpoints than I expected.

It always happens pre-patch when people are bored waiting for the new content to drop.
