Is Zero the most unlikeable main character in this game

[Carin-Eri]

I've yet to really form much of an opinion on Zero since we're still in the earlier stages of their character development, though can't say I dislike the direction the story has taken so far.

And whilst this is, of course, entirely subjective I find Godbert Manderville more unlikeable. I don't WANT to see that idiot running around in his underpants any time he appears. I DON'T find his repetitive antics funny - if anything he epitomises the 'Overly-long Gag' trope. I can't click 'skip' fast enough any time he appears.
I just want that pointless Chad-meme, overly-long gag trope, character to disappear - or at the very least just keep his damn clothes on for once!

Despite being an antagonist, he is still a "main character" so I say Zenos in everything after Stormblood is the worst character. As his entire personality is wanting to fight the WoL.

That’s it. You and me outside right now.

Hard for me to imagine feeling so strongly about a character who's just boring tbh. Boring only makes me indifferent. ┐⁠(⁠*⁠˘⁠_⁠˘⁠)⁠┌

[Gullis]

Don't have much of an opinion on her
She is just kinda there.

I feel its to early for her to get a title like that. Especially with so many ppl hating the scions already

[AwesomeJr44]

She transformed from a generic DeviantArt OC to a carbon copy of literally every other scion in the span of 2 cutscenes so I guess the question is: what character even is there to be unlikeable?

[AnnRam]

How can they be more boring and uninteresting than EW Y'shtola, whose entire personality revolves around "omg knowledge"?

For me was Zenos, the most bland/boring final boss since I play video games.

[Silver-Strider]

Lyse had more personality in SB than Zero currently has and Lyse had 0 Character Development in SB.

Yeah her fedora tipping did start to get on my nerves after a point.

Mide (from Alex raid): first time?

If I get a dollar every time Mide touch her scar, I probably have enough money for a month sub or two by the end.


About Zero ... I think the verdict is still out for me, at least till the end of the 7.0 MSQ. Whether people like Alphinaud or not, the 2.0 Alphin and the post 3.0 Alphin are almost 2 completely person, with the latter reforged by his journey through the Dragonsong war. Also, the Crystal Exalt in 6.0 is almost nothing like G'hara from 2.0 with that 100 years experience and leadership packed into him. I expect a similar grow from Zero as we journey through the third. Knowing the writing style of FF14, there gonna be a lot of trauma, short term hope then crushed with disillusion waiting for her there, and probably will reshape her character.

I'm not saying she gonna turn out to be someone everyone gonna love, but I do think people are being critically harsh on her criticism at the moment. Although I do understand why though, the narrative does get too preachy for me sometime. Like ... we get the point, no need to recite "love&friendship conquer all" 1000 times by 100 different NPC. But then that's just to typical in Japanese media that I'm just ... kinda jaded to it.

My current feeling toward Zero right now is "she's nothing special". Not bad, but not good either, and hoping for more.

I don't have enough info about Zero to either hate or like her at this point. I get the impression there are more things we need to learn about her before passing judgment. I always assumed the hat thing was supposed to be an easter egg referring to some old FF game considering how out of place it is for someone who's even more stoic in cutscenes than the WoL used to be.

Alisaie and Alphinaud are acting like teenagers. Can't hate them for that, just a shame SE will never let them grow out of it.

Who do I hate? Kan-E-Senna and her siblings. That's a trio leading a nation but keeping that nation enslaved to the whims of some elemental demons instead of growing a backbone to end the cycle.

[Vatom]

Eh.. Maybe she will get better later on IDK she's just there right now, almost feel like they didn't even need to voice act her lines.
Also I like Zenos though not a fan of some of the choices they made for him I did enjoy most of the moments he was around
