Unpopular opinion on G'raha Tia (spoilers)

[NekoMataMata]

Indeed, now he is just a puppy following us around. But SE can't kill any of the "good guy" characters, they probably fear the community response and they know how vile it can be

Mostly the Japanese base, right? Didn't they supposedly freak out after Papalymo died?

It would be better for all involved for them to stand their ground when it comes to characters leaving the story at the appropriate time. Better that than allow for things to snowball like they have with G'raha Tia. They'll find new characters to make fan art about, they just have to make them. If building the game's combat solely around the whims of high end raiders is a bad idea then writing the story with such heavy influence from the likes of Twitter is to a similar detriment.

I like G’raha.

People like lyse and she was awful. She still gets parts in the story. People like moenbryda who was pointless and got wasted scenes about her in EW because players cried about it being unfair she died. She contributed nothing at all.

Everyone can like or dislike him if they want. I’ll always want more story with him.

Once she grew up she studied under Louisoix Leveilleur. After striking a talent in aetheric research she became an Archon and was in the Circle of Knowing, however, Louisoix told her to stay in Sharlayan, an order she followed with great difficulty.

Moenbryda is called in once the Scions try to find a way to pursue Lady Iceheart after she escaped Snowcloak and seemingly cut off or destroyed her destination Aetheryte. Using a crystal of white auracite, Moenbryda traces of Iceheart's teleportation to allow the Warrior of Light pursue her.

Useless, huh?

Personally, I prefer Exarch who's the same one we had adventures in CT than the one we have now.

Post 5.3 G'raha doesn't even act that much like his 2.1-2.5 self. The team saw that people went AWWWW at the Exarch's timid behavior in the cutscene after Hades and decided to latch onto it with all limbs.
They flanderized the shit out of G'raha.

He was always very self-deprecating and saying you were great at everything, and a recurring theme of talking about events as history will record them.

If anything, maybe the Exarch's personality has toned down his brash side, and given him a whole lot more people to fanboy over because he knows the heroics they went on to perform in the other timeline.

Like I said, I don’t dislike current G’raha too much.

It’s not like it’s too late for the character to improve so I’ll keep an open door. He probably ''still has more secrets to tell'' and more character growth to do since we're likely heading to Meracydia in the future.

A likely scenario I see happening is us returning to the first with him, once Y’shtola perfects World travel that is. That way he could see the crystallized Exarch for himself. That could end up being a big deal for him.

[hydralus]

While I agree on some level, he's also one of the better scions so it's nice to have them around rather than having to deal with the twins or Y'shtola.

[Bellsong]

I liked him as the exarch, now I just want him to go away.

[VelKallor]

there are a significant amount of people who are dissatisfied with his current treatment.

The four or five people here dont even begin to count as "significant".

Oh oh. Watch out guys, someone here got mad

[VelKallor]

Not at all.

I am just noting that, to my knowledge at least, other than here I have not heard this sentiment from anyone on OCE.

No one I know on EU or NA has said so either. Whilst I am certain that there are mixed feelings and opinions on the matter, I also note that were you to go to 100 random people on any server, you would get 100 random answers, and very very few as any form of "a consensus".

Short of a poll on the matter, we have no way of knowing WHAT people do or dont think..and to be honest, with all due respect, to claim otherwise is utterly presumptuous. The utterly tiny population on this forum, as opposed to the wider playerbase, is indicative of nothing...and is not in any way a valid metric by any means.
