A question to Square on Zephirin (SPOILERS)

[Theodric]

Theodric: Be glad that there is no open world PvP

Much like Aymeric I didn't even dislike Haurchefant at first. Yet the rabid fans that make them out to be the sexiest and best characters ever to exist have just made me cringe to the point where I find them both very tedious. I already had some reservations about neither of them really 'feeling' like they were Ishgardians. If they push the Lucia/Aymeric thing into a real romance then it'll be even worse - especially in a setting and society where interracial relationships are meant to be frowned upon. I like my elves gritty and efficient - and Estinien fit the bill perfectly in that regard. So did Zephirin, for that matter.

Eh thats understandable. I like Haruchefant a lot, yes, though I don't think he was the "best eva". But SE did well in makin me care for him, and like I said all those months ago...I had a lot to say about Zephirin and the rest of the Round when that happened. That said if you are going to have characters trying to change and make a society progress forward, naturally they aren't going to be have the exact same values as what one would think a normal Ishgardian would have.

Also Estinien is also a favorite character of mine for the 3.0 series!
