What Zero Could've Been

[Avidria]

If this is the most baffling take you've ever seen on a video game forum...

Welcome to the rabbit hole that is the FFXIV official forums.

Oh I've been here a while and seen some very baffling takes lol
Just few that have left me quite so confused

Editing to throw out some thoughts here on. The thread topic I guess lol
I'm glad Zero isn't more of a demonic seductress type character because personally I find that type of character generally off putting, uncomfortable, or just uninteresting unless it's done very well or in an interesting way.

And now I'm going to go lie down have a good one y'all

I actually, really really like Venat. She's really just the best Mother.

Just another day in GD."Yikes" is what we do best.

By it's very definition, yikes cannot be the best. Best and yikes do not belong in the same sentence and are capital offense war crimes and violations of the Geneva Convention.

Figures you'd be head over heels for the character who is basically a complete sociopath.

Apologies. What was I thinking?

In the sense that he continues to terrorize the player character in every scene he appears in and can’t keep his hands off them. A demon by way of that and more a clingy sort of creature whose attempts at seduction and getting close to my character fail repeatedly because he acts so strangely. A pity that they couldn’t at least have done us the favor of making him conventionally attractive if he was going to behave in such a manner.

When was this? I must have missed a few scenes where this happened.

Also when you're being "terrorized" by someone and touched against your will it really doesn't matter if someone is conventionally attractive or not, gross.

Replying OP's opening post.

To be fair, had Zero been a Bayonetta-type character from the start, there wouldn't be much of a character arc to be had. She's been "living" in this grey purgatory of a world all her life, so obviously, someone with her background wouldn't be happy-go-lucky. Let's give her a chance at least. Her story's just begun.

He said earlier that Yotsuyu's behavior could be given a pass because she's hot so it really doesn't surprise me that he'd come out with this too.

Yotsuyu’s behavior doesn’t creep people out the way G’raha Tia’s does and actually contributed something to the story and left once her role was over instead of sticking around to do nothing of substance with herself.

Actual yikes with assuming Graha is worse than Yotsuyu in any capacity.
