It rather makes me annoyed at the writers *lol*. Though to be fair, back when FF was still fresh and all, yes, General Leo's death and other big villain-y things Kefka had had indeed the desired effect. HW-Bro's death was also quite touching, but I honestly completely forget about the culprit or their name during the course of the game .

As for the rat-brother of Tsuyu: I laughed at his terrible over the top acting skills, but yeah, the sudden creepy eyes and such were irky

As for Zenos antagonizing the WoL. No. Just no. I see where you want to go with it, but he's already turned into a metally-sick stalker with yandere tendencies and free power-up with no effort behind it just to cotinue stalking us for "BATTLE MIH!!!!!"
What other purpose is there for killing off a major character other than dramatic? Unless the character is useless, or fulfilled their purpose, in which case they are hardly considered a major character. You're not going to have a good story if there is no consequence, no threat, no despair and feeling of hopelessness for the heroes. It needs tension. We need to feel like the stakes are high. I never said it had to be a Scion though. I just said it needs to be of the same magnitude as Haurchefant. If you can think of another way for Zenos to make a huge impact on the WoL, I am all ears. Because killing someone the WoL cares greatly for, or deception have been the two methods the villains I do enjoy in FFXIV have used to get it done.

Tsuyu's brother was just a PoS. But I bring him up because what he did was so wretched and lacking of any human compassion. The guy is lower than a freakin lizard. The fact that it was Tsuyu he antagonized more so than the WoL doesn't excuse his actions. They are low all the same. He didn't make me laugh at all. I wanted to give him a swift justice with my katana.

And if Zenos doesn't antagonize the WoL, then what else is he going to do? Ask him/her over for a coffee bisquit, doma tea and trade war stories?
