I Honestly Do Not Like Alphinaud ..

[Araxes]

I never liked Alphinaud and prolly never will. Hate that i have to endure his Face throughout ShB but well..... guess i have to live with that.

I am not fussed on either Alphinaud or his sister lol I just don't get the hype for them I like some of their character progression but I feel they have been overused I would rather other characters be there a bit more now.

I hate him so much !!!

Wish he die so I won't have to endure him any longer, never liked him it was hate at first sight and having to "rescue him" for the sake of his adorable sister is a sacrifice I'm barely willing to make.

Lets face it, killing him have only advantage storytelling wise.

Playing him during stormblood had me felling sick and I was overwhelm by anger and hatred.

He serve only as a medium between GC and scions, if not dead put him behing a desk and let usefull scions do their work without babysitting mister two spell for a job.

I spent most of ARR wanting to feed him to a goobue. He got better once Heavensward beat some character development into him, but he's still probably my least favorite of the main Scions. My favorite part of Stormblood is that he's kept out of the way for most of it.

Why is everyone hating Lyse? Did you see her toned stomach and thigh? You guys are not straight....

As for Alphinaud, he is awesome. I liked him from the first time his music hit when he and Alyse walks in.

I shitty character would be Ayemeric. Complete waste of space.

FBI incoming.

in FF14 case i think thancred/raubahn will come to you instead lol

amazingly, alpinaud story in essence is pretty much my cousin life story in a way.

- obnoxious, always has this "iam smart and i know that" attitude
- always (try) to get in your "community circle" but when doing so, just end up as sideline all the way
- then one day has this grand scheme to impress everyone (main reason is for this one girl that he like)
- but end up in a horrible disaster so in the end me, my sis and his lil sis help him out.
- he was so devastate by it he end up being "hikikomori" for almost a year
- now he mellow down, still has a little bit of this "smart" attitude, but this time is more honest and humble, so he learn his mistake i guess.
- now he study abroad

when i think about it. it is alpinaud story in essence hahaha

Alphinaud is a decent little chap. He was a bit one dimensional initially, being all self righteous, and always on about how *he* will save Eorzea with his perfect plans and how he will be Louisiouxs successor and all that... but then Ilberd sucker punched some humility into him, and Estinien and Krile continued that trend with the respectful humiliation.

Since then he's been quite alright. He learned his lesson, has been more willing to admit and conquer his flaws (like swimming), and had a bit of a backstory added to him that reminds us of his old arrogance while still spinning thrm as humorous "Oh Alphinaud you twit" stories.

I was a little worried he was going back to his old ways at the end of SB, what with his absolutely reckless decision that he thinks only he is capable of doing, but... in this case he may have been right. As the most politically headed Scion, I honestly couldn't see anyone else having any chance at accomplishing what he intended, as stupid an idea as it is.

And let's just face it. Alisae wouldn't be half as awesome if she were an only child. Being Alphinauds twin sister shaped her, she took her own separate course and subsequently the two of them compliments each other well. The best scenes with Alisae often either has Alphinaud in them, or are relative to Alphinaud, whether it be directly mentioned or just hinted at through subtext.

I can see why people wouldn't earlier in the story as he comes off as a bratty know-it-all but as the story progresses, mainly around the middle to end of HW for me his character really begins to shine. When you get into SB, you really notice him begin to mature as a character. He learns from his failures and thrives to become better. I'm a sucker for character development and he's definitely got the most out of the Scions.

Plus I think "little brother looking up to his cool big brother" relationship with Estenien is cute.

Actually, the more Alphy grows on me, the more I realize that if FFXIV was a single player console RPG game, he would be the main character of the story. We would see how everything unfolds around him and through his PoV. It's a bit weird, but being the WoL feels like living through the lens of a deus ex machina.

However, I find it difficult to hate him because of how cute he is.

His sister is cute too.
