What is there to change my mind on? The lack of evolution of this cast and the negative effects they've had on this game's storytelling are a matter of fact. These characters have been constructed poorly. You're not looking beyond the surface if you're still on about whether or not we "like" different characters or not. The question is why we feel this way, and you've avoided addressing the key issues surrounding these characters that have been reduced to comfort plushies.

If I wanted a story where nothing of consequence happened I would be playing Animal Crossing - though that game has more stakes in that islanders can choose to leave your island. I bought a Final Fantasy game because I wanted something of substance. Not this.
