What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

They did this in Final Fantasy X as well, the game revelled in objectifying Rikku. Its not xenophobic to point out a pattern here.

Except they're not objectifying of Meteion in the game? There was nothing remotely sexual about her.

Her voice is really creepy, her personality is the same "pathetic girl" trope you see in a lot of animes/games (Colette from Tales of Symphonia springs to mind). As soon as I saw her, I thought... Yeah, this girl is going to be a villain. They may not being objectifying but why have a character like that in the game at all? I found her creepy and rather annoying in Elpis. Her plot arc is essentially "becoming an emo because the universe isn't what you want it to be". Its really shallow if I'm honest... plus she isn't wearing any trousers.

You... really have the strangest complaints. It honestly feels like you're just reaching for things to hate about the game now.

Not at all, I don't "hate" the game at all, but its not perfect either and some of its choices are very standard for Japanese games.

I didn't get this at all. I knew she'd be an important character, but I didn't see her as the "last boss" until The Incident. If anything, she's a self-learning AI naively sent into the Internet. Which then discovers the chans.

I had a rather similar impression of her. Can't say I enjoyed the trial with her much, either.

I guess i fail to find how a kid with wings on their head and bird legs is objectifying
