I also like how out of everyone, both thancred and estinien are the more pragmatic and realistic, which is way more interesting than idealistic one like g'raha and the twins (though at least alphinaud is better than alisae in this regard).

*hmm, I think y'sthola is supposed to be pragmatic too, but honestly she's too bland and I don't really get the whole "pragmatic" vibe from her.

I think the start of thavnair is the only time I genuinely amused by the comedy. Feels natural.
Yeah I enjoy the bro squad much better too. I sort of respect the fact that Y'shtola will, at least on occasion, use her noodle but in EW she really did not shine for me, and she didn't do much of that, either. People mock some of the Ascians for referring to Zodiark as the one true god, but between Hydaelyn referring to herself as a "supreme deity" and Y'shtola referring to her as an "all-powerful being", perhaps let's not be too critical on that front...

Ugh, I can't wait. Especially if it consists of more amateurish political philosophy rants delivered by wunderkind Alphinaud. I do hope they avoid that direction. It'll just end up grating on my nerves further, especially if compounded by them messing up Pandaemonium story-wise for me (e.g. more Lahabrea bad rubbish.)
