So heavy a thread as the other I made needs a counterbalance. I also feel like we could use more threads where the point is to engage specifically in discussion centered around the fun we are having with the game, its story, its music, and all other facets.

We spend a lot of time hung up on details that we are powerless to change, so here I'd like to ask for your favorite lore, characters, and any ways that they interact. Be they villain, be they hero. Be it side quest or main quest.

What's your favorite lore? Who is your favorite character?

My favorite character is Alisaie. She is headstrong, takes fall damage optionally, and slotted into one of my favorite jobs come Stormblood. I enjoy her sibling interactions with Alphinaud as they feel genuine, and I like her Roleplay battle kit. I find her idolization of the WoL endearing, and I smile whenever she's on screen. My favorite scene with her this expansion was having coffee by the docks and solving the next leg of that first Sharlayan branch.

In Shadowbringers it was her being the first to launch herself against Emet-selch.

In Stormblood, it was the first fight against Zenos. She and Pipin also engaged him with the WoL and were pushed back by his Concentravitity.

HW it was the WoD fight, ARR it was Coils obviously.

My favorite Lore in the game is harder to pick, but so far I think it's the fact that the Allagans had elite training programs based off the Warring Triad, and they cloned anyone who could defeat the programs. It echoes of X-men's danger room scenarios, and of course, requires the sidequests that involve Y'shtola, Urianger, Krile, and Unukulhai along with Regula van Hydrus for the initial defeat of the actual Warring Triad. Of course, it ties into my favorite FF in the series, VI, which is the main reason for my tastes.

Who/what/why are your favorites?
