YoshiP “Torn" Over What to do with the Scions (Interview)

[Jeeqbit]

He has spoken about this in a number of interviews and the summary is:

1. He tried to give the scions the back seat to see how people would react to new characters being the focus instead.

2. He kept them in the background because some people might be attached to them still.

3. In reality, they can only give significant development to certain main characters, which causes the ones with lesser roles in the story to seem like they weren't used well.

4. Going forward, he's going to just bring along the characters that will actually develop, so some or all of the scions may be left behind in future, if they are not going to get any character development/usage.

I think #4 is the right solution. Also, I would be very happy if the Warrior of Light did just set out on their own adventure.

That’s the problem though, he didn’t put them in the back seat, they were still front and centre as the most important characters outside of Wuk…………..they just had the personality and characterisation depth of if they were actually background characters so it ended up pissing of both groups

That's what happens when the story is written badly. I don't think even Wuk had any character development. Well, beyond "I shouldn't be self-conscious anymore, because I'm literally the best ever".

The only one with proper development was Koana realising progress doesn't mean abandoning tradition and that they can and should coexist.

The other one with kiiind of development was Bakool JaJa, but his was just his personality doing a 180.
