Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[YukikoKurosawa]

Extremely hot take, quite possibly too hot: Lyse is a great character and much (not all, but much) of the hate towards her is cringey and bandwagony, she's hated largely because it's popular to hate her and less so because of legitimate issues with how she's written (of which there are admittedly legitimate reasons).

I remember someone saying that part of the reason why Lyse was unpopular as a character was because it was unrealistic for her to be the leader of the Resistance after Conrad died and that she was unqualified to take on that role. Not saying I agree with that logic, but that was at least a few people's reason for hating her.

I'll preface this with I don't hate Lyse. I hate how they did this weird reset on her character. She should have been more qualified. She was a Scion, for crying out loud!! Why was she bumbling around like some naive idealist? What did she learn in all those years out in the field? It didn't make any sense, and I choose to block those sequences out of my memory for my own sanity.

She was done dirty, and while I can ignore it for the sake of bad storytelling, a lot of people can't.

(I really like Lyse and how she was written in SB gives me A LOT OF FEELINGS)
