What Zero Could've Been

[Floortank]

I'd argue the pace is a little different this time around.
Her relationship with us is purely professional right now, our goals are aligned because she benefits from it. She don't really care about our objectives.

It's exactly the same pacing as Gaia X Ryne

Snarly, doesn't like, antagonistic, goes along in spite of herself, warms to us gradually, rinse and repeat.

We've seen it before. I don't mind it, but we've seen it before, and OP is acting like this is some new problem.

Nowhere has it shown Zero doesn't truly like us nor has she been antagonistic either. She's straight forward n to the point. She goes along with us as a measure to keep her word.

Definitely wouldn't say we've seen it before, nor would I call it a problem

Yeah. For the moment, her relationship with the group is mostly transactional. She has, however, hinted at being able to tolerate everyone's company without the need for a give and take. So, I do picture her softening up eventually, I just hope it's not excessive like with certain other characters. Gaia and Ryne...that was such a weak plot all around, in my opinion. It all felt so rushed. They tried to replicate the whole Squall and Rinoa dynamic and I feel that they failed to capture what made that interesting and satisfying in the first place. I hope Zero has more time to grow.

I thought the pacing of Gaia and Ryne (I don't ship them like others do) was decent. It wasn't a strong point for me though. I do believe that has to do with the fact her character is tied to a raid series (tho the current one is REALLY good with its characters so eh...)

But yeah Zero benefits from being an msq character
