Greetings, fellow travellers. Are you passing through from boredom of self isolation or quarantine? Rest a spell and share with me your thoughts on something fun: The Scions. I want you all to list each Scion and your initial feelings on them and then your feelings now. For me?
Papalymo: Starting as a lancer, he and Yda were the first I met. I thought and still think they had the best dynamic as they felt like a real duo. I also forgot his name and when my friend asked, I called him Papa Coolio which I continue to do till this day. Now he is truly in a Lala's Paradise... I began to really respect him by the end (especially having the stones to shunt me away and onto the ship.) He started off as just "The straight man" and evolved and ended as the stern father of the Scions in my eyes. Rest in peace, Papa Coolio.
Yda/Lyse: Again, met her first because of my start and she actually sort of annoyed me. The ditzy ones usually do... But she was fun, she had so much damn energy and her smile when fighting just brightened my day. The bubbly little sister of the Scions... Until she turned into Lyse. Jesus Christ, the tonal shift in her character was so sudden. It went from "bubbly little sister" to "bossy and moody little sister." I guess losing Papa was hard on her...
Thancred: I liked Thancred from the moment I met him as we both had similar hair and class (until he swapped like 9 times) and he had this Balthier-esque suaveness to him. Needless to say I thought of him as the older brother of the Scions. Honestly, he's the only one that hasn't really changed my outlook on him. I guess most people think of him as a dad now with Ryne, but to me he's still that same uber capable older brother that you can rely on to sneak into the enemy territory and nick some information and crisps for you after bedtime.
Urianger: I NEVER trusted this big lanky bastard. From his hooded appearance and indirect manner of speaking to the weird side glare that Minfillia gave him upon his introduction (was I imagining that? It's been a while.) Also never doing most of the ex primals in those days, he remained a huge mystery until it turned out I was RIGHT not to trust him. I didn't like him all the way until Shadowbringers where he begged for forgiveness and promised to stick with me through the end. In that moment it made me realize how important his friendship with the WoL is and how much we mean to him. Creepy, but sincere uncle Urianger ended Shadowbringers with more of my respect than ever.
Y'shtola: I loved her dynamic with Thancred, but the entire Titan questline made my eyes roll and her snappy attitude just wasn't helping. I liked her, though. The bossy older sister of the Scions until Heavensward and on. I was sort of worried about her and how she seemed to harden and what that meant for her. Well it turns out she was just becoming the hot mama of the Scions. Seriously it went from "meh" to "Holy shit she's attractive and just threatened to bend me over her knee." I also enjoy how she's a lot more straightforward and goal oriented than most. Keeps us on track in a stern yet strangely arousing way.
Alphinaud: He was absolutely fucking insufferable to me. His know it all BS made me want to powerbomb him through the fucking floor. I even got a sick kick out of his Crystal Braves betraying him... Then they cut off my main bro Raubahn's arm and I felt like shit all around. Heavensward and on, he's really humbled up and it gave him so much more personality. Of course it could've always been there and my eyes were too busy glazing over to see. Now I enjoy being with him and his sister and even sometimes wanna protect him from her. The maturing little brother of the Scions.
Alisae: Didn't do raids, so I had no clue she'd pop back up. That being said, her "this is useless, I'm gonna go get results" attitude is something I approved of. And now? Oh boy. She's the most aggro Scion and boy do I love it because it's soooo different and fresh than the others. No diplomacy, no sneaky infiltration, just a kick to the bollocks and a face full of fire! Also I think it's absolutely adorable how much she idolizes the WoL. I see her as a spunky cousin of the Scions since she really hasn't been around me as long as the others in my mind. Sorta like Scrappy Doo, I guess.
Minfillia:... I got nothing. Sorry. I really felt nothing and no connection to this character. Her passing only struck a chord with me through the sorrow it caused to everyone else around me. I even feel kinda bad typing that =/
Well, there ya go. That's my take on the Scions and thanks for reading through. I'd like to hear yours and whar you think/thought of them all. Please. Isolation is lonely and my queue times are long.
