Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[Kazhar]

Nobody who hates on the Scions actually hates them

No I'm pretty sure I hate them. Character death wouldn't increase my appreciation of any of them, but at least they would be gone.
My hot take is that the Scions are the worst main cast out of any Final Fantasy I've played (which is all of them since IV).
Shadowbringers almost salvaged them by giving them a good amount of focus and individual character arcs, then EW regressed them all to a boring, amorphous mass of single character traits. Where all they do is preach the themes of the story and smile blankly at everything the WoL do.
Krile is the worst of them, she has so little character being used as a sock puppet by Hydaelyn doesn't even faze her. She creeps me out.

EDIT: (By the way the direction of Kratos is the one thing I like the most about new God of War, so it's not all about edge. Like Absimiliard said he's a really compelling character now, which is definitely not something I could say of any of the Scions)
