Don't care as much about whom as how.

While the plot of the RP segments was fun, it kind of felt like we were having good character lambasted as complete novices. There are plenty of ways to keep combat within a range where one need barely read the names of their abilities while still receiving a sense of their actual skill.

On topic though: whichever character will give me something new, gameplay-wise, that's still within the XIV team's capabilities (so, probably not a Thancred espionage mission, sadly...).
