Love or hate his "fanboying" they've been sparse, it's not like every other word is him having a fit that he's actually hanging out with the WoL, in fact most of his moments have been triggered by the others teasing him about it and him getting flustered over it. By and large Graha just wants to help and has done just that, he tags a long, pretty much only added insight when it's made sense, and been given roles that make sense for him to have been given, allagan tech here, play the role of merchant there, and for all of his supposed show stealing, he actually doesn't talk all that much, unless we're in direct conversation with him, he's rather reserved, tending only to speak if he feels he's something worth contributing.
That’s something we’re going to have to disagree on. 5.4 was supposed to be alisaie’s arc, what with the tempering cure and all that and it was overshadowed by graha vying for the attention. Even in the Ct quests, doga etc were overshadowed by Graha. I also agree with the alisaie estinien moment being out of place as well, but graha was just the overkill on it that wasn’t necessary at all. His roles however, since you bring it up,a lot of them conflict with other characters whose roles are supposed to be just that. Merchant? Alphinaud for example. He just seems to always find a way to disrupt the flow of story and lore, whether it be with the plot holes tied to him or just the way his writing is. Obviously it’s an unpopular opinion because people love their cute catboy and he could do no harm. People just need to not be oblivious to his faults.
