Aymeric (SPOILERS)

[CyrilLucifer]

I don't think he's going to turn into a second Haurchefant. However, as I said in the pre-3.2 threads, he's challenging us for our title of purest pure purity in all Eorzea. 3.2 has pushed that even harder and, honestly, I'm starting to find it a bit annoying in how perfect he is portrayed; even if he's flawed, it's the portrayal that counts, and in 3.2 he's portrayed as a big good.

Compare that to, say, Merlwyb who flat out messed up the Kobolds with her mistakes, or Nanamo, who was thinking almost too progressively in her attempt to break down barriers, which might have actually caused societal collapse from such a radical, immediate change, and Kan-E-Senna who is unable to act outside of Gridania unless it's an extreme circumstance (as you learn via the WHM questline) no matter how necessary it is, well, you'll see my point in his portrayal. He's forgiving, all for moving forward and focusing on the future, motivational, a skilled warrior and politician, and (seemingly) wants what is best for everyone.

Something's going to happen. I don't think he's going to die, but he's going to make a severe mistake at some point, or break down and be unable to do his job when he absolutely needs to the most, such as from his wound. Or maybe he'll pull a Thancred and work himself half to death, giving Second Best Ascian or Pashtarot a chance to sow his seeds. No lewd, I swear.

The Alex quest cements my theory on this. Aymeric makes a big deal about he's focusing only on the future, but then you have Mide saying it was the focus solely on the future that destroyed her life. That parallel must have been intentional.
