Thread: 3.2 Main Scenario Preview

must admit she looks pretty pissed in that pic :P

Not sure if I like her hair. I was expecting it to change alot more. Meh, atleast I have her old hair :P

Blast it all, I was hoping they'd finally killed Mufinilla off. Useless annoying character that I earnestly keep hoping gets hit by Doom Train.

Careful you don't cut yourself on all that edginess.

You do know there's other ways to write off characters besides killing them right? People like you always wanting Minfilia dead, but no one seems to want her to actually change herself, which is what this patch seems to be doing.

I think it's because I have a really strong distaste for her. She basically amounts to a damsel that we have to constantly save/help/doeverythingfor, and I don't feel like she's really... integral to the story. Very little would be lost without her. There's nothing she provided that really gave us a unique experiences (lest my mind is playing tricks on me - I would welcome correction on this.)



Literally, to me, her one trait comes down to "I'm the leader of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn." She's basically a very large plot device to push the story forward.

And I really hope she doesn't ascend to some sort of goddess like the other posters are speculating. Obtaining power without actually doing anything (Compare her journey to our character's journey) would just be another black mark against her in my book. I want her to do something, so maybe she can start redeeming herself - but I'd really just rather start seeing other characters.

I'm favouring possession over ascension.

"Minfilia is now part of me, etc."

In 4.5, once Hydaelyn's gone insane trying to remove all darkness from the world by destroying stuff, we'll have to beat her Minfilia avatar, and then have a heartfelt moment as the old Minfilia we knew briefly reawakens cradled in our arms and gives us *that* smile before her broken body gives up and she finally passes from this realm.

Until 5.0 when Zodiark, as a favour, reconstitutes her mortal form and saves her spirit from the aether with the one caveat being that she must stay close to his power and live on the moon, which we visit on Cid's new new new airship.

The problem you have with Minfilia is that her Life Journey is not the focus of ARR/HW, ours is.

If it helps, think of her as 'M' and yourself with the last name of 'Bond'. The story revolves around the hero, every time.

Minfilia is the leader of an organization that has more people involved than the hero-types like us. You can get a small flavor of that during leveling if you visit the back room and talk with everyone there between levels 20 and 30+. You can get some of her back-story while leveling in your 40s.
