Emet-Selch

At this point, I would agree for anything already. After hearing that we're not getting a minion and first Tales story not being about him and setting the trend for other ones most likely I feel like they are specifically trying to torture Emet's fans... They can't NOT be aware of how hugely popular he is!
PLEASE give us something! (Preferably real merchandise if we can't have him back in game!)

I will trade the G’raha minion for Emet Selch minion anytime any day. He feel way more “human” than many of those main NPC. He is not doing his villainy for stupid reason like Zenos. I can’t smile like Alphinaud does after the fight. I take no joy in it. I knew he have to be defeated, but he just more broken soul than any of us, the lose he endure, the tragic he live over and over again turn him into this twisted mind Emet today.
I must say this patch SE doing very good job at building villain, both Emet Selch and lord vauthry even Ran'jit have a very deep and rich background. On the other hand the good guy feel so much shallower compare to them

Yo! You mentioned Caius! I feel like he is the most underrated FF villain out there. Not sure if I like Emet more than Caius though, they are pretty equal in my eyes.

I do like him indeed, FFXIII Trilogy isn't my favorite games in the series but i do regonize Caius as a great villain and one of my favorites, he's charismatic, does have a good background story, noble reasons and etc.

I would like to see more history on him as well. I'm not really looking forward to facing 'mr blonde' yet again. It will be interesting to see if the devs can keep the depth of story rolling beyond the initial punch that's gotten them so much praise thus far this expansion.

I’m of the same mind. For me Zenos had run his course a while back. Now it’s getting to the stage of an old horror flick with the “you’ve not heard the last of Fu Manchu” regurgitating villain scenario.

Don't mind him coming back in previous life flashbacks though.
Pretty good tour guide!

One of my faves as well. There's something that has to be said about a villain that just drops right in and hangs out with the good guys, basically "So, where you guys off to today? Gonna go save some villages? Mind if I tag along?" The villains I'm used to aren't even present until they're actually attacking, or otherwise threatening. Nice of Squeenix to think outside the box.

Just a huge THANK YOU and GOOD JOB in creating this character and his awesome history!

Would love to see this character make a reappearance! He was very relatable and wish he would have become a ally in the end!

Post/Reply/Comment if you agree!

What part was relatable? The genocide bit or the insane mad god worshipper?

Loss and loneliness. The same for Arbert. Both were in situations of being essentially alone until we came along. Emet would have had us at his side to get the world back and have true comrades again, and Arbert had someone to talk to. And I think anyone can relate to missing a friend.

Emet-Selch as an antagonist has set the bar quite high for future adversaries. It kinda pisses me off to have him ending his story arc at the end of 5.0 and now we're back to "I'm evil lmao" Zenos. I'm hoping we see more about the Ascians, specially both Lahabrea and Elidibus. He was a great character, with a soul, very well developed. So the current ranking is:

1) Emet-Selch.
2) Gaius.
3) Error 90002
4) Thordan
5) Nidhogg
107) Zenos

Him being tired all the time.

Yes... and snarky.
