I'd like to kill the Scions

[Elkanah]

Aeris in Kingdom Hearts 3. They can and probably will kill Y'shtola.

HOW DARE YOU USE KH AS AN EXAMPLE. LMAO I HATE YOU SO MUCH. I knew someone was gonna say that. But she's not the main hero, cloud is. Just like Dagger might be part of the main cast, however, it's Zidane's character as the main for IX, and she's more of the side arc for the main plot. But still, I get what you're saying when using that. Rip FF VII remake. XD

The one thing I preferred about FFXI over XIV is that each expansion brought you someone new to adventure with in the form of the Mission Girls. None of them really got a chance to overstay their welcome the way the Scions have, and when you saw them again later in a side story it was like reuniting with an old friend. At this point I'd like to go at least a couple of expansions before seeing any of the Scions again.

The only one I even have any affection for at this point is Alisaie, and I can totally understand her not being other people's cup of tea. I won't sit here and excoriate them one by one, but they all just rub me the wrong way personality wise. I grow weary of them stealing scenes and constantly waffling between genius/utter idiocy and useless/overpowered. Also the relationship between the WoL and the organization bothers me. What really is the WoL's role with them? Full fledged member? Independent contractor? Am I working for them or are they helping me? What's the pecking order here?

This! Honestly, if there's any scion I want to be truly dead tho, it's gonna be Y'shtola (that second fake out made me hate her) and Alphinaud (I just don't like him). The rest can live, but I don't want to see any of them too much (except for Tataru) in the next expansion. I kinda want the focus to be on the other scions (Hoary, Riol, etc) before going back to the archons.

Please... just let me betray and eliminate my erstwhile papier-mâché band of fake people. I'm so done having this unlikable entourage tagging along every expansion. It's gotten to the point where it would no longer be satisfying enough for me to watch, say, Y'shtola die - I need to do it myself (and, hey! It's not like she could see it coming!).





I get that this is a Final Fantasy; I get that these characters are intended to be my 'party.' But that really isn't true, is it? They never really help me; they're never present at ground zero when **** truly hits the fan in, say, a raid - other players are. Other players are my real party; other players are my friends, allies, comrades, etc. Thus, the Scions are doubly ridiculous - they're both annoying/poorly written, and they're superfluous to a game that emphasizes teamwork with other human beings.

If I can't behead the lot of them with my big DRK sword all Gaffgarion-style, at least leave the Scions stranded bodiless on the First. This is the perfect opportunity to be rid of them... so even if I cannot have the pleasure of cutting big, gaping holes in some plot armor, you can at least do us all (okay, most of us? The vast majority of us? The sane minority of us?) the favor of assuring the Scions' collective departure from the story moving forward.

Please.

This is a really weird wish ngl

While the scions are far from the most well written cast in a final fantasy, I'm not sure why you feel the need to uhh.... 'eliminate' them. Kinda goes against the whole WOL thing. And also... why? Just because they don't do a lot of the fighting doesn't mean you need to go all off with their heads.



~~Good Luck.

If the FFT thread didn't make it obvious this poster is trolling for reactions, this thread sure does.

They really need to turn down the Edgy McEdgelordness, makes it way too obvious.

[Aneshda]

I don't want to murder them, but they can go on some very long holidays. I mean, I like them well enough, they all have something I appreciate or connect with, and I feel very guilty for letting my pixel twin kids down saying this, but I'd honestly swap the lot out and have Emet back. In my house. Permanently. It'd be fine. What's the worst that can happen?*

*don't answer that.

I would Murder everyone for Emet Selch, Elidibus, Arbert and Hythlodaeus. I would like to see Hythlodaeus getting his own Story, cause he seemd to me a good one who should get a chance. Even if they stay all in my Room and talk crap 24/7. I miss them so bad.

If I can't kill an Ascian for the sole purpose of taking their clothes for glamour, then you can't murder the Scions.

I love the Scions imho the best part of FFXIV story, having an actual crew you go on adventure with and know you by name. Instead of oh hero go kill this world threatening boss and after killing them they are like wow look how I took the final blow on this boss, thank you for looking up to me adventurer. Now please go kill some hogs outside the city gate they are a real nuiscance.
