    Cid is kinda dull imo, I don't really understand why so many like him.
    I'd say that Minfillia gets too much shit but I do agree that there is a problem with show don't tell with her.
    The game spent too much time telling us about how important she was instead of showing it, to some extent that makes sense since she wasn't a combatant and out in the field ( Not every character needs to be like that btw... Being a good fighter is not a requirement to be a good character ).
    But like there's times where other characters are sent when she could've gone herself and made herself more useful in the eyes of the player.
    Especially as a representative.

    Hate is a very strong word, like with Minfillia for example I can agree that she wasn't very well-written and that her deeds weren't really portrayed which made her feel useless.
    But there's a difference between that and HATING the character.
    I can't really think of a character I legit '' hate ''.

    Same goes for other characters too I can't think of one that is just so bad that I hate, and then I look at the extreme levels of hate Minfillia and Lyse take ( for many things that other characters are guilty off too ) and it always seems so petty to me.
    Only character that got somewhat close to that at some point for me was Alphinaud when he was at his lowest emo phase with the whole Crystal Braves thing but now he's my bro.
    But at one point I kinda just wanted to leave him behind.

    If I had to pick one it would be Lyse, not because I actively dislike her but because she hasn't been used in an interesting way in quite a while. Hopefully Endwalker she will have another chance to shine. Thancred can be rough for me too if only because he seems to get a personality reset each expansion.
    I actually like Zenos as a villain too.
    He's not very complex but at the same time we've already had more complex villains.
    For just a big bad finale boss I don't really mind a more simplistic villain that you just reaaaally want to kill.

    Just like how I don't think a character needs to be a combatant to be a good character I don't think a character needs to have some deep soap opera motivations either.
    I think Zenos is really good for what he's supposed to be.

    I was actually going to say Zenos. But then I was reminded that Lyse exists.
    ...So now it's Lyse. Because remember she existed made me remember all the nothing she did in 4.0 and how much her face showing up ever completely soured any scene easily.
