Most Hated XIV Character

[Valence]

Will confess that I have, over time, come to feel much the same way. Whilst I'll acknowledge that this is subjective. I'm personally not a fan of him and feel I like him less and less as time goes on.

Because it's always the same routines over and over - he gets pounded into a wall or the ground (and spends 30 seconds trying to get out), he strikes the same poses, does the same dances, Godbert appears and runs around in his underpants for the 200th time - even the bombs are boring now. The gags were funny the first time - they're not the 5th time in the same quest.
And don't even get me started on Nashu's stalker being played off for laughs!

I know that repetition itself is supposed to be part of the joke - but that in itself can be grating rather than amusing for some people once the novelty wears off.

Having always been pretty neutral about Hildi in terms of character and comedy, but also agreeing with you completely that this got old as soon as HW Hildi happened since we immediately fell back into the same tropes, I must admit that in the first time in this questline, I actually do enjoy a character and it's Hardiboiled. He's bringing something fresh and new for once, and the caricature of the noir genre genuinely amuse me.
Perhaps with luck we'll get other reflections of him in the next series to come so that we don't always fall back to the same antics.

Agreed.

I usually let the Hildibrand cutscenes play out without paying them much attention to be honest since they, as described, always follow the same, painfully predictable, pattern. Hardiboiled did make the more recent ones tolerable though.

[Hyperia]

I don’t really hate any character but the one I pity the most is Zenos. I’m just waiting for him to be brought back again and again and again as if he is Metion’s whipping boy.

[Kranel_San]

Asahi is the first character that comes to mind.

[Caurcas]

Zenos, because if you had to pinpoint where they story starts falling off you can pretty easily point to his character as the turning point.

To be honest if SE had actually the stones to make Zenos yeet Y'shtola out of the story permanently in SB, he would've been my favorite character.

[Limecat]

G'raha. I have a very strong urge to skip the cutscene every time that guy starts talking. NO, I don't want to go on an adventure with you! I want to tie you to pier for high-tide.

[Jin-]

Alisaie and Alphinaud. Yes they both go since the eradicator offs one and then sees the another one and thinks that they missed the target

[Azuri]

Definitely Hildibrand. I hate that this trash is back in 6.15.

[MoofiaBossVal]

Y'shtola. The most dull character to watch onscreen. She just gives exposition on magic and puts other people down. Seems like the 6.X story might salvage her somewhat. I know people disliked the magical girl cutscene in 6.1, but that was the only time I enjoyed her. Maybe she'll get written out of the story by ending up with Runar, so that'd be nice.

[PawPaw]

Venat and Hermes are pretty much tied.

Y'shtola is fighting for first place but being simply boring and useless will never beat being a traitor.
