I have a bit of a running joke to myself about how Alphinaud is the real protagonist of FFXIV, not the Warrior of Light - he's the main mover of the plot on the protagonists' side, after all, and has gotten more character development than anyone else there as well (from a disaffected child to a well-meaning glory hound to a genuinely heroic diplomat).

After so long in the spotlight I guess they just decided to move it over to his twin sister.

The Warrior of Light is the hero of the story, but not the main protagonist (that seems to be shared between Alphinaud and Alisae), and everyone else is just support.

There are other characters I'd like to be in the spotlight (Urianger, in particular - he always felt underutilized, and were he still alive Papalymo for the same reason) but that's not their role...
