Genuine fans of Zenos yae Galvus, why do you like him?

[Soge01]

1. He's cool.
2. He gets straight to the point.
3. He's stupid strong and is literally the only character in FFXIV that can give the WoL a proper challenge.
4. He always brings an interesting weapon to the table.
5. Once you learn about exactly why he's the way he is and such, it makes you like him even more.
6. He 2 vs 1'd Gaius and Estinien on his own without breaking a sweat. He also kicked Elidibus' ass in a random Garlean Centurion's body.
7. Besides G'raha, Alphinaud and Alisaie, Zenos was one of the very few characters that really understood the WoL and while he was a madman. I hope Zenos is reincarnated someday he can truly be the WoL's friend without any of his previous life's baggage.
8. The Zenos memes are glorious.
9. I like his hair.
10. He helped us beat Metetion's ass and proved to even her that he had something to live for, even though he doesn't care for much of anything.

Yknow.....do you think Zenos COULD 1 v 1 Emit with both of them at Full Power?

I've seen worse excuses for fanservice.

I guess the twist on ξένος (same pronunciation, though usually transliterated as Xenos), which by itself as a concept tended to have the meaning of hospitality --or a guest owed kindness / the kindness owed to a guest-- but when attached to other words takes on a far more negative connotation per a stranger or the unknown (perhaps unknowable).

In 1.x, there was a significant thematic thread about the powers of being the one on the outside of the flow of world events, of being out of time, the idea being that pretty much just those with the Echo --especially able to tap into the echoes of Hydaelyn-- were/would be able to piece together enough about history to at least delay and mitigate the world's cycle of calamities. Your sort of Xenokratos -- power of the guest/outsider, able to see and interact with far more

Zenos is... the opposite of that take on a stranger/outsider. Power accrued through/due to isolation. Yet, obviously, the connection remains, from one stranger to the other -- even if as only just an inherently transient obsession/twisted-friendship-thingamajig.

Not a fan of Zenos or that archetype of character. I guess this is supposed to be XIV Sephiroth or something (who I also didn't like).

Something I can add to the pile of things I blame Stormblood for.

I can only assume you don't know much about Sephiroth with you saying that.

I dunno. Did Xenos have mommy issues? If so...maybe not so different.
