An NPC you truly hate with passion

Lyse

Then Lyse

Followed by Lyse.

[MitsukiLily]

lyse, the list could go on

[Lauront]

Mine would be...

Twins (used to be Alisaie, now it's Alphinaud I find more annoying). There's only so much fist-clenching and so many syropy rants about brighter tomorrows that I can take.

G'raha. Semi-tolerable as Exarch, now he's like a rash that won't go, a bit like Zenos was, only he's still here.

Hermes. I enjoyed Fandaniel, but couldn't stand his ancient version. There was nothing about him I liked.

Zenos. I liked him in SB, which is when he peaked for me, and after that he was just various shades of irritating. Not a nemesis I'd even choose.

Venat. Started out liking her, but the story turned me against her post-Elpis.

Meteion. Just don't care about her or her Endsinger form.

Tataru. Krile. Nanamo. Lalafell in general.

The hairdresser.

That would probably be it. There's a few other NPCs I find annoying and I've never liked anything to do with Hildibrand or a lot of the slice of life stuff, but I can easily avoid it thankfully. Lyse and Minfilia, while I get the annoyance at them, are more a form of unintentional comic relief to me.

My least favorite character(s) are Omega, and his/her/its entire freaking robotic race in Ultima Thule. If there were any characters I could say I come close to hating, it'd be them. Robots, AIs--they piss me off, and they genuinely scare the hell out of me in RL.

The Terminator movies are why we should destroy any and every robot and AI we see.

TBH I had the same impression of them.

[LaughingBanana]

I fail to see how Lyse becoming her own person is destroying her character. She develops well from Stormblood, the monk 80 quest, and all the appearances post stormblood.

For me personally, the whole "pretending to be her sister thing" is so unnecessary and eye-rolling and stupid and silly and idiotic it colors my perception of her going forward ever since, hahah. I can't help but to think, "this is that character with an extremely stupid background story", lol.

Hildibrand, his father and everything relates to him: Well, we all love to hate someone aren't we, that's why this thread exist, but not this case. this one just extremely cringeworthy, nauseating juvenile jests breeder that I had to endure whatever antics he threw at me just to get to Gilgamesh Trials.

Lyse : I found her as over the top, annoying woman version of shonen Naruto-Goku protagonist with power of friendship, fused with aspects of social justice warrior reject.

Zenos: This edgelord literally has zero charisma, also I cannot accept the outcome at his first battle at Ala Mhigo and the second one after every much threatening monstrosities the WoL/WoD dealt with. He is much tolerable in Endwalker, but managed to ruin my experience for (spoilers!!)

Hien: this is more subjective, but I always hate those samurai archetype, also he is very boring, cookie cutter character, goodie two shoes, almost borderline Gary Sue

Earnest Maiden : I genuinely feel enraged despite her brief appearance, poisoning the WoL/WoD and attempting to ruin everything we built so far, I wish she was dead after that arrow, but from broader site, we must handle this turmoil with cool head and maintain political correctness

Gegejuru: I want to Akh Morn this little smug so much, but the game wont allow me.


Honorable mention

Lolorito: I know that he was not so bad as he seems, but still, what a little smug.

Fordola: I used to hate her, but I began to forgot her existence, so she just went to honorable.

Minfilia: what did she do again?

Thancred: sometimes he just annoys me with his over the top action movies entrances

Hydaelyn: Translates as Hypocrite, I believe you have better solution than make us much more miserable as the only answer

[AnotherPerson]

Slyphie before the level 30 conjurer quest. Truly a nightmare to deal with. Tries to justify she wants to only heal but also ends up being a liability because she only heals in the whole conjurer storyline rather than use all the elements. I'll give her the benefit that she's still a child and learning though.

Sylphie after level 30 conjurer quest is cool.

As someone that loves sci-fi/robots/androids, they actually terrified me as well.
It's all quite ... apathetic and morbid. These robots are essentially waiting on an order that they will never receive and thus exist with little other prerogative or inclination to change their situation.

It is the sole definition of insentient machines.
To progress sentience so far that you become insentient.
I do not like this. :S

[Amon-ster]

Imma be honest, chief. If they aren't Susanoo, I don't really have love for anyone in this game.
Most characters are tolerable, and the rest I just actually don't like.

Probably the person I like the least is Zenos or G'raha. I can't decide.

[Rulakir]

Well, if everyone else is going to add to their list then I'm going to say Hermes/Fandaniel and Venat/Hydaelyn as well. If I never see either of them again it'll be too soon. Agreed that Hermes didn't deserve to be included in the walk during the credits or the post-credit art.
