Grummz isn't the best mouthpiece for criticism here. IIRC, his playtime was barely enough to have cleared the MSQ through Endwalker, let alone reach Dawntrail.
"Most insufferable character' also ignores Lyse, a similar waifu/mary-sue from Stormblood, which makes me think Grummz hasn't actually played through the MSQ. (Story skips are a thing, but that's also a black mark against anyone seriously critiquing the game's story.)
Even if the critique is based in fact, Grummz is enough of a clout-chaser to question his motives.
I can vouch for how weak of a character Lyse was, but people insist this new character is THAT much worse. I never went back after Stormblood, but that had more to do with life, time, and responsibilities than anything else, I actually wanted to go back after hearing all the praise Shadowbringers got.
not only is it worse than Lyse, but her design is not a cute waifu but a tall gender ambiguous furry, and the voice acting is possibly the worst even shipped in a videogame.
this is the climax of the story - (jap vs english version)
