I Honestly Do Not Like Alphinaud ..

[Iscah]

I like Alphinaud. He's pretty unbearable in ARR but he got so much better from Heavensward onwards and he's had a lot of character development.

I hated him in ARR, I think it was his voice though. I hated it. Made him sound like such a snob. I'm English myself and his accent was just, 'mate, go away.' The fact he was acting like I was his personal hitman also made me want to punt him into the sea. He's a lot more likeable after ARR since his voice matches and delivers the emotion better.

Though to be honest this is also why I disliked Minfillia - I hated her voice.

I turned off voices at some point during ARR - accidentally in the first place, but it made some of those characters far more likeable and less annoying, so I've left it off ever since.

Maybe that's why I don't mind Minfillia anywhere near as much as other people do. I remember she had a terribly stilted delivery of a lot of lines, but since I'd switched that off I could imagine her talking a lot more 'normally'.
