Ones that I wish they would step back (as in work in background for future expac):
  1. Alphinaud
    Alphinaud already gets a lot spotlight in the HW and all other expansions story. Let him do all the 'boring talks' part somewhere else once we made friends with Sharlayan
  2. Thancred
    It's about time the old man (well not THAT old) enjoy a better life! Some of ShB story brought back some spotlight to him but he's been around since early ARR. I want to see some new face.
  3. Y'shtola
    Same reason as Thancred. Plus she's a poster character for quite a long time. I don't want to see her die too from that stupid eyesight problem

Ones that I wish to see in the spotlight (or at least some of it):
  1. Krile & Ejika
    Thankfully she shows some potential to play some good parts Ejika on the other hand is to pepper the atmosphere but that's too much of a stretch.
  2. Tataru
    It's been a while since we get to work with this adorable character in the story. Who knows the aftermath of Endwalker we might get to work with her for sometime, again?!
  3. Estinien
    Same as Krile, plus he'll be our future trust choice too, nice!
  4. G'raha
    The 'Source G'raha' hasn't been around with us for long, I hope he'd get some nice spotlight
  5. Gaius
    Would love to see how he plays his part, if he gets any in future main story.
  6. Yugiri & Mikoto
    You can't imagine the joy I feel when I first found out Yugiri is an Au'Ra. Gods! Finally they give us some variety! (And of course they just have to take that away from us again zzz) Would be nice to see her again in Endwalker. Mikoto is a stretch, but one can hope, can't they?
  7. Gaia & Ryne
    What if...just a what if... these two can travel to the Source with the help of Gaia's 'ascian power'?! Dang I'm already missing these two by now. Also where are their coffee shop?!

Urianger and Alisaie kinda sits in grey zone of my list. While I liked them both for their speech & character, I don't particularly mind nor happier if they get to stay in the spotlight. Urianger probably gonna need more spotlight though.
