I really hated Alphinaud for all of ARR. Then, in HW and beyond, I also hated him. It wasn't until towards the end of Endwalker that I realized that I hated him even more

Finally, a voice of reason in the sea of "No Alphinaud totally gets better just give him a chance!!!!"

no he had his chance and he hosed it

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.



Heavensward also introduces the Undisputed Grand Champion of Roasting People and Not Giving a gently caress, Matoya. drat I love that sassy grandma.

Didn't you mean to ask about flowers?
"I could fix the world with infinite money because I'm so smart" was a set up that often gets done 100% earnestly in many stories. The Happening(Savage) was a fantastic takedown.

:shobon: That said I do I like post-ARR Alphinaud but only as far as "yeah he's alright." He does much better than Minfilia in that at least he has a character. He's also a good comedy set up guy. How much could a katana cost, 10,000 gil?

ShB: I lost my poo poo when he immediately told Matoya what Y'shtola did on the First.

TLD I'm very curious given your well known distaste of Lalas what your reaction to Pippin was. Because that design is something

Apologies to Lala fans but since TLD called em kids walking with overstuffed diapers I am crying everytime I play the game



I'm an elf man so my lanky rear end can't throw stones with glass houses and all that, but sometimes you just need that extra flair to enjoy your game more

Yeah I don't understand lalafell hate. They're goofy little bastards and every single one of them is the butt of some sort of joke. Even if the joke is "people don't take me seriously because I'm short" or "it's hard to project gravitas when you were carried into the room"

The lalafell soul is an inherently cruel and evil on, that's why half of the bad guys in this game are lalas.
