    I don't mind not being the protagonist. What I do mind is that the Scions have had their personalities removed. If they weren't around, I wouldn't even have noticed. Not to mention they seem to awfully conveniently only turn up for Trusts and then disappear again half the time.

    That and I'm really, really tired of my WoL being forced to be a naive, trusting idiot. The only way Sphene could have been more obvious would be if she had a giant sign say "I'm the main villain, ask me how" and yet the only person having a reasonable reaction to her was Alisae, of all people.

    At this point it seems evident that they are forcing the party composition of 1 tank, 1 healer and 2 DPS to travel with you just so the WoL can play whichever role they choose and always have a Trust party ready. Alphinaud was quite literally just a healbot we dragged along and had nothing to do throughout the story.

    Which is ultra stupid btw, because just like... a patch or two ago they solved this VERY SAME problem with Y'shtola... By saying "you know what, she's good with arcane arts, was a conjurer, etc, she can heal just fine." All those "classes" are just suggestions when it comes to NPCs anyways, we see that all the time with "flexible" trust members. Any one can heal if the devs want them to heal. And if they aren't too lazy to write a single line explaining it. I feel like at this point this stuff with giving new jobs to scions is more of a detriment than anything. Krile became a pictomancer for what? To be in the trailer and to get shoehorned into DPS role for trusts? Amazing.

    We should always be the protagonist, just not necessarily the main character in the plot line. Just to clarify Protagonist means either the main or on of the major characters in a story. Generally this character is the one that drives the narrative forward weather they are the main character or not.

    Take for example the Lady Iceheart section of HW. We are not the Main character in that story arc, we are a protagonist of the story though. In DT's story we are neither.

    The Scions losing their personalities and Y'shtola's voice sounding glitchy at times has me becoming a conspiracy theorist that the Scions were swapped out with robots.

    WAKE UP SHEEPLE! I'm onto you Yoshi P....

    Actually, the Scions voice acting in general was pretty average at best eh? I was a bit shocked at how uninterested they sounded most of the time.

    Graha: Should I stay behind too?
    Yshtola: Nope, they need a healer.

    And the Alisaie scene was particularly amusing since she spends most of it hovering her hand over her sword.
