Critique of Endwalker Characters

[Turethir]

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person that likes Thancred. Granted, I started in Ul'dah, but still.

He's my favourite character! You're not alone <3

FWIW, in most tier lists I have seen people usually rank him pretty high I think he's a generally well-liked character, just not many people's absolute fave.

Same, like him. He's the good bro, and actually one of the only Scion who acts like he is friend with you, not a fanatic groupie. I don't want him to go. I just wish they didn't put so much emphasis on Minfillia every time he makes an interesting contribution. I find their relationship rather badly handled, because even though in canon their love isn't romantic, the lines of dialogue seem to point in that direction every time. Which creates a kind of weird dynamic after Ryne. On the other hand, I really like the fact that he struggled to manage himself during Shb. It makes him a character with flaws, and I thought that was pretty coherent.

There are two characters who bore me a little:
-Alphinaud. I like him a lot, but a break would be welcome; he's been with us for a long time, his arc is getting stale and we'd have to start a new one. I'm also tired of seeing him in his teenage form: let him grow up, for God's sake! If he (and his sister, for that matter) could be somewhere else for an extension before coming back, I'd be delighted.
- Graha Tia. It's more visceral now, I can't stand him. I've had enough of his fan attitude, I've had enough of his childishness, and I don't understand how our character is supposed to like him. He's also redundant, in the sense that he's a 'second thinker' and, unlike a lot of people here, I adore Ysthola. And I'm afraid that eventually he'll be there to replace her.
