[MOZZYSTAR]

- Major Characters:
----Rauuubaaaahn (can my character PLEASE get married to him, I don't care if he's spoken for! XD)!!!
----Zenos (my other in-game husband-to-be!)
----Gosetsu & Tsuyu (I love the dynamic these two had)
----Yotsuyu (very rarely do evil femme fatales work, but she worked it. Very sympathetic toward her story)
----Leveilleur twins (fudging funny, these two. When Alisae struck a pose about how she could swim but a certain someone couldn't... I DIED. Alphinaud's brilliant, but so naive, too, I just love it.)
----Estinien (My first class ever was LNC/DRG. I loved his voice, I loved the revealed part of his face, and I loved his ambition, but I became less-and-less in love with him with time...)
----Yda & Papalymo (Their banter brought me such joy...)


- Minor Characters:
----Magnai & Sadu & Mol leader
----Godbert Manderville (I aspire to be like you, Godbert!)
----Tataru(? is she minor?),

- Primals/Eikons:
----Ravana (always thought the lyrics were "blooood trickling down mine aaabs." It made me laugh. Other than that, his design is really cool.)
----Lakshmi
----Susano (his normal fight is like dancing)
----Enkidu
----4.3 primal (need I say more?)


- Job/Class Trainers:
----Fray (hands down. It's one of those stories I wish/hope would never end)
----Maybe Jehantel??? Honestly, no trainer other than Fray really "spoke" to me.

[Alleo]

Major characters:

-Ysayle
-Alphinaud
-Alisaie

I just love them for their character. Alphinaud feels like a brother to my WoL and I honestly would stop playing if he dies. I just love the way his character went and he can fight and be good with politics, while still having his flaws. Alisaie has wormed her way into my heart in SB but she is probably just third place because she is a bit overdone at times. I can understand the sibling rivalery and she does care about him but sometimes I was a bit annoyed at her talking down Alphinaud in front of us when he was not even there. But otherwise I still liked her for her sassy character. Ysayle is someone that I could feel for. Another blessed one that kinda got tricked into believing that she was doing the right thing. Her wishes were great but done with the wrong methods. Did not like how they ended her character but could accept is as a way for her to redeem herself. Still she would have been an interesting scion.

Minor Characters:
- Haurchefant
- Moenbryda
- Tataru

Honestly the list kinda shows what happens to my favorite characters..half of them are gone..
Anyway....I just love Haurchefant (yes even before HW). His positive outlook and the way he acted was fresh air and he really felt like a friend and later as a good love interest for my character. He is one of the few that needs to be hold back by a group of people so that he would not endanger himself. The way they went with him is something that I cant even accept even now and will always be a very sour spot. Moenbryda was also a fresh air because next to Alphinaud none of the other main scions really interested me. They could have all died and I would not care. Unlike her who I started to like as soon as she was here. Which made it even sadder that she was just a plot device that was only there to flesh out Urianger and to give us a way to kill Ascians..Tataru is the last one and I really hope that she sticks with us for a long time. I love how she at least tried to increase the money for the scions, even if she mostly failed.

Primals/Eikons:
None
I honestly dont care much for them. Most of the time they are just one dimensional enemies and the few that are not are mostly interesting because of the people behind them.

Job/Class Trainers:
- Fray

I do like all the job trainers that I have done till now in some way but honestly only one can even be called as something like a favourite. I like Fray because I agreed with a lot that he said.

Outside from that list:

-Namazu: I just love this beast tribe. Their characters, actions and quest just made me really love them and I just like helping them out.

Ill reply to that when you tell me first; was it worth you appearing, if not rude then certainly pointlessly snide with that image since you felt the need to post that. I have never seen this thread before, like alot of topics in this forum, so what if they are old, does that mean im not permitted to comment on a topic that catches my eye?

(funny how *i'm* the one getting tagged as an aymeric -fangirl when *your* the one with him dancing in your sig image)

First. *you're :3 You're welcome.

Second. It's always fun when I unintentionally offend someone and they write a (micro) dissertation. Yep, it sure was worth it. I have a collection of those images because I find them funny and love when I get to use them. Believe me, I want to snog every elf and lizard husband in this game. And I don't get the slightest bit offended when someone "tags" me as an Aymeric/Haurchefant/Estinien/Magnai/Sidurgu/*insert other sexy elf/lizard here* fangirl. It's a badge of honor, really. This poor reaction of yours kinda gives us a bad name and perpetuates the stereotype that we totally lack a sense of humor for these kinds of things, no? ;D

But really. Thanks for the necro. You gave me an excuse to declare my newest husband to the world, which was actually the REAL reason I "appeared"~.

Mylla

OH GOD I'D SNOG HER TOO. While we're talking about ladies, add Sadu, Lucia, and LYSE to that list. (Legit don't know whether to ship my character with Magnai or Lyse. Magnai needs a bit more development to confirm that he's not as scummy as he seems, so maybe I'll indulge in a bit of Lyse for now.)

[hynaku4494]

Only two favorite character's I like is Greg and Nero.

[ShadowMeowth]

Well I feel like the last reply to this was weeks ago BUT I felt compelled to weigh in so screw it, I am doing it.

- Major Characters:
---- Lord Haurchefant Greystone. Say whatever you want, he shall always be a major character in this story. Perhaps not because of his achievements, but because of the impact and meaning he leaves in the Warrior of Light. No matter if you saw their relationship as platonic or romantic, the memory is always there, and we are constantly reminded that the WoL is still mourning him hard enough to shock Fordola (amongst other stuff).
---- Alphinaud Leveilleur. I keep saying. If by some miracle I do not get Haurchefant back, I am so shagging Alphy. I absolutely love him. His character development reminds me quite a bit to my favorite FF character, Hope Estheim from FFXIII. He is the Scion that genuinely cares the most about the WoL's well-being, he learned from his mistakes, he rose to leadership without even calling himself a leader and after 4.3 I was squealing like a hopeless fangirl about him. And he is definitely comedic relief too. He has flaws, but the beauty of his character is that he actually thrives to overcome them.
---- Ysayle Dangoulain. Oh gods, I absolutely loved Lady Iceheart. She was complex, she had strong beliefs and morals, she was not a hypocrite about her "greater good" like other moralist/preacher character do. I feel that after dying, and particularly after 3.3, she is somehow tied to Haurchefant. Whenever one is mentioned, the other does not take long to be mentioned as well, even in Stormblood. I would love to see both back, and Ysayle in particular had so much potential. Imagine her as a full-fledged summoner.
---- Zenos yae Galvus. Well duh. I love his simplistic villainy. Most villains want to conquer and have more powah and all that but Zenos? Does not give a damn. All he wants is the thrill of basic instincts, let loose the ferality within and enjoying the adrenaline of battle. Indeed, his methods were brutal, but he feels... like the human part we have tried so hard to supress, but it is still there, and in the last moments, there is a sense of acknowledgement between him and the WoL. "Farewell, my first friend... My enemy." Chills. That line is amazing.
---- Lord Hien. He is basically everything you want in a bro-like character. The friendly rivalrly, the good-intended quips, the trust. I guess it is easy to see him as a potential love interest, but personally I think he fits more the role of the friendly rival. And despite his youth and his brash and outgoing personality, he is actually wise and smart.
---- Yotsuyu of the Naeuri. I already loved her as a villain before the patches. She might be a sadist, but delving into morally-questionable characters is always enlightening, because they tend to be the most complex. Yotsuyu is one of them. She actually went and reverted a trope, and gave 4.3 quite the amazing finale, despite it was a sad, yet satisfying, conclusion. It is a story of how monsters create monsters, it ties with Fordola's own people creating the Butcher, and that no nation is exempt of having moral flaws.


- Minor Characters:
---- Count Edmont de Fortemps. Dear Lord, Edmont. I love, LOVE this man. Saying he became the closest to a father figure to the WoL (and maybe Alphinaud) would not be exaggerating. I really hope to see more of him. He was caring, honest, honorable, and truly a revolutionary during Ishgard's seclusive era.
---- Magnai of the Oronir and Sadu of the Dotharl. Really, those two need to get together right now. I mean it. They are made for each other. And they cannot even see it. Ugh.
---- Urianger Augurelt. I am putting him in "minor" compared to the screen time he shares with his fellow Scions. I feel like Urianger is the most interesting of all them, bar Alphinaud and Alisaie. The other Scions are rather sure in their "walking the path of Light", but 3.4 did one thing quite well and it was Urianger daring to take the other side to have a better insight into the truth. He is wise, and I love his cryptic, Shakespearian ways. He should have a better role than giving life-saving artifacts, which is of course still welcome, but you get me. (And please give him back his 4.4 attire Squenix for the Twelve's sake.)

- Primals/Eikons:
---- Alexander! Always a favorite of mine. Sure, the Goblin thing was a bit odd, but how cool is that in this game Alexander is a freaking timelord?! I swear, each time they make Alexander more OP and I will not be the one complaining.
---- Shinryu. Truly an epic fight. Epic music. Epic twist. Epic dragon. And it all came from Nidhogg's eyes. Perfect tie from Heavensward.
---- Byakko. Thunder tigerdaddy. 'Nuff said.
---- Zurvan, he was pretty damn cool. That cinematic attack with the snowflake and the lance was awesome. I think it was the first time an attack was rendered this way?
---- If bosses from raids count, then I love Scathach. Queen of Wipes--I mean, Shadow. Still, her battle was really really fun, and her design was awesome.
---- It goes without saying that Tsuku is also a favorite... but that is spoiler-ish so I will not say much about her. Just that the fight is incredibly beautiful.


- Job/Class Trainers:
---- Fray and Myste. Welp. I loved the lvl50 DRK questline. Then lvl70 questline absolutely made me cry and fangirl and cry some more. It is my only tank job and I do not regret it because of quality lore and storyline. Even when it is Sidurgu and Rielle, who are interesting in their own way.
----Sanson and Guydelot. You cannot fool me. They are gay™. They are a matrimony of married people. Every time I go out adventuring as a bard with them, I feel like I am the third wheel. And it is awesome.
---- Leveva. Oh gods, praise the Twelve for Lady Levev--I mean, Lord Rufin. We need more sassy healers in the world. Also, Jannequinard.
---- X'rhun Tia. I mean, c'mon. You do not always have a DILF red mage Miqo'te as your job mentor. And his intro kicking brigands' asses just does the trick.
---- Lalai and Zhai'a Nelhah. Those two must become a thing. I am calling it.

[Vyrerus]

Major Characters

Zenos - I think he gets shoehorned and pigeonholed and a bum rep personally. Lots of people just like him for his looks, most people think he's a snoozefest of a villain. Me, my first impression of him was that he was depressed. He seemed to me a meta commentary on 1337 Raiders who only re-subscribe on major raiding patches, who only seem to care about battle content, and only want to do battle content. In a way, he was a reflection of me as a player, because battle content is what I embrace most wholeheartedly. With that in mind, it was kind of cool to see the WoL be what snaps him out of depression, and to watch him throw away military advantages all so he could duel the WoL. Then he shows us that we could have been controlling Primals with The Echo... Then he killed himself, with every intention of dying, so that he would end his life at its highest, happiest peak. Surprise, surprise though, he was an immortal without realizing it. So then, what does he do? Immediately seeks to reclaim his body so he can fight us at his fullest strength. I find him more compelling than evil pope from Heavensward, but slightly less compelling than Emet-selch.

Alisae - She is my favorite scion, pretty much ever since the battle with the WoDs.

Hien - Love his voice, personality, and his personal Limit Break.

Cid - Makes most of our shenanigans possible. Helps out with raid tiers. Flies us lots of places.

Nero - my favorite antihero. His complex with Cid is relatable to me.
Minor Characters
Gerolt - I've done every relic so far, and he's been there for all of them providing comedy as well as the occasional cool statement that builds on his actual character. Relate to him now more than ever with the whole, "You should be a high ranking Syndicate leader, not some drunk broke ass kettle maker." And his response to that basically being, piss off I do what I want.

Haurchefant - His role in the story wasn't big beyond that one moment, but he was my favorite Ishgardian even as early as 2.0 MSQ in Coerthas. I even told myself they'd probably kill him. T_T

Hilda - Don't count her as a mentor, since it's the WoL mentoring/helping her, not the other way around. Love her lines and love her attitude.

[Kusanagi7]

as an update my list is pretty much the same but id add urianjier or however u spell it and emet selch obviously

[Recon1o6]

Major Characters:
Gaius van bailsar: Fantastic antagonist and unique in the only opponent so far I have wanted to have a solo battle against. Skilled both on and off the battle and a badass when doing so without making his opponents seem weak, steadfast to his beliefs and not afraid to commit treason in order to do what's right for his country. Very interesting lore and some of the better voice acting of 2.0- hell probably the best outside of Merlwyb

Y'shtola: Smart but not full of herself. Has a lot of secrets but shares them, damn good in combat, good voice acting. Not afraid to say the hard truths and seems to be the only scion to actually make sure you're healthy. I wish she'd give us water magic though

Yugiri: Shy yet surprisingly deep with her thoughts. Devoted to her lord but not to the point of stupidity (To the point where the second fight with Zenos was shockingly out of character for both her and the WOL plus it seemed like it was thrown in just to make Zenos look more difficult) she has feelings for both the WOL and Hien but doesn't let them get in the way where possible. She's been through a lot too being banned from Sui-no-Sato and being forced ot go to the other side of the world for her countrymen. I really wish we could help her visit her home some day since we are friends with the ruby princess. Its a shame her voice actor got murdered and was shelved from HW out of respect.

Minor Characters:
Godbert Manderville: Very business savvy while being funny and crazy awesome. Also has enough guts to willingly ignore refugee plights to prevent Teledjii from getting his hands on Omega

Riol: Its a rare man that is willing to spy on his own group of his own volition. Its an even rarer one to stay loyal even after discovering how deep corruption goes. Plus he was a member of the company of heros, and actually seems to be the minor scion doing the most work offscreen after Coultenet

Moenbryda: Big fun, big axe, big lady, big brains. Went out because she was too good for the plot. Damn it

Primals/Eikons:
Ravana: Honourable, fun fight, excellent music and actually has no grievance with us and legitimate reasons for a war of aggression. Hell he even offers to help ishgard when he mistakes the WOL intentions. Also notable for bearing no ill will to us even after we explain our intentions. Gets points too for skerwering Shiva (I really wasn't fond of Ysayle at that point in the story)

Alexander: My favourite primal. I love time magic. Very interesting how he's based upon an idea rather than a god. He helps us out multiple times and indirectly had a hand in saving our life from the 8th calamity. What's more he wishes for a truly perfect world and executes the villains that summoned him in order to do it. Also honest about his powers and uses them smartly both for and against us. Cool fights, really cool gear...even his most villainous incarnation in TEA is an interesting opponent. I just wish I could get a static to do that fight

Titan: A clever, stubborn (seriously he fights without his heart for 1/2 a battle) but straightforward honest primal who holds legitimate grievances. Also responsible for giving SE the reminder to improve the latency. Excellent music and notable challenge in each battle. To the point that I was both surprised and not when the devs announced that the first Unreal trial being Titan was scrapped because he was too hard.
Dude's solid, and he's the only boss that has simulatniously made me laugh and kick my arse decisively enough that I wish more fights were as hard as his. He's also one of three bosses to actually scare me. (that being when he became titan maximum)

Job/Class Trainers:
Fray: Says everything I been annoyed about for a while in story. Actually a competent healer in combat compared ot most npcs. He backs you up as well and apologises for previous events in his own super charming manner. He's also quite funny at times with his wit

Musosai: Though I saw the twists coming, I really respected him. For me to commit seppuku is the easy way out. For him to pick himself back up and try again in a land where all the odds are stacked against him at the end of his life speaks volumes about his honour. Also notable for being the only job series where the WOL actually did what I hoped they'd do.

Jacke and the rest of the rogues: Amusing yet serious and have good depth for class quests. They have flair, cheek and I wholeheartedly approve of how they do things in style.
