What Zero Could've Been

Zero is pretty bland at the moment. Hopefully she improves over the next patches or is gone by the end if not.

A person's personality and their appearance are completely separate things, regardless of how beautiful they are. Anyone of any beauty can be sassy to men who flirt with them.

That's true, but the combination Y'shtola has going on makes her a character whose presence I can only barely tolerate. It's like as if she was a librarian in the game making light of other people, just really offputting and not what people look for in heroines.

Wait, are people who are defined as...unsuitable or a low '3' or whatever like, not allowed to be sassy towards someone deemed a higher..idk...'7' or whatever? That's just a weird take. Why?

If Zero is gone by the end of 6.0 it's probably because they will turn into Zeromus.

I mean I'm not saying they're not, just don't expect me to find that sort of behavior likeable or believable when it's coming from the catgirl school teacher whose face is about as striking as a plain slice of bread.

I don't think that Y'shtola with the combination of her lackluster appearence and personality gives her the same sort of pass that someone like Yotsuyu or Bayonetta gets when it comes to how they treat men. If someone is a 3, they shouldn't be treating guys like Magnai who I'll just say are 7s or 8 as if they were a 2. Also, Runar deserved someone better who was more emotionally receptive and less arrogant, especially given his warm nature.

This isn't even controversial, it's how the world works. Bad attitude, nothing going on with her looks, topped off with the Mary Sue thing and I am bewildered as to why I'm supposed to find this character likeable or why she of all people gets to be this game's postergirl.

"Women can only sass men if I think they're hot, otherwise they should know their place and shut up."



The fact that you think Magnai's horse-faced goober ass is a 7 or 8 speaks volumes. This is the same guy who flips out every time a tiny female challenges his masculinity and is constantly rejected by every woman he meets.

Doubtless the above poster is a fan of men like G'raha Tia or worse yet, the twins. In any case I don't see why FFXIV should cater to such niche tastes for both genders.

You uhh, might need a airlift outa this hole you insist on digging my man.

People may not like shtolas personality, but I've never heard anyone call her a "3".

And rating magnai that highly after... Lol.

It's rather telling that your usual defenders aren't here.

Yshtola is actually visually appealing. Magical Girl Froth and Foam Yshtola is much more fun to be around then "I seeketh the knowledge" Yshtola. Her shift in personality just makes her insufferable at times.

Kind of annoying they want her to cosplay as Lulu from FFX while having Vivi's existential crisis at the same time.

I'm also wondering why a thread about Zero turned into a thread about Y'shtola.

I mean, I know OP won't answer me, because the poor snowflake seems to have me on ignore for daring to disagree with him. I'm just curious.
