He was such a twat in ARR I hated his guts. HW and onward endeared his character to me. Unfortunately Alisaie's character arc pre HW is locked to the Binding Coils of Bahamut.
I was mesmerized by the twins because I was like … What fucking race are they? XD their necks are normal.
As a little baby sprout that just got through HW he was kinda goated in this chapter of our story. I think the way he flew too close to the sun with the Crystal Braves, fell, and got back up without missing a beat is the tenacity I aspire to.
i hated him so damn much in ARR, but then he became one of my personal favorites in the game. i’d like to think he becomes a little brother figure you can mess with from time to time but take him seriously when the times calls for it
I love spoilers
I can never avoid them
when i started i got so annoyed with his attitude, but now i adore this kiddo and his sister so much!!
So many people I know still hate him and like, HOW? In Heavensward he became the team mom by force lmao
Man….. you really had to put that hot chocolate scene in there
he also had a bbw kitty sugar mommy so there is that
Alphinaud is literally a child. Maximalist, nerdy, sheltered (!), but luckily, also smart and open to learn from his mistakes. That's why I enjoy his character growth so much post ARR. He knows the main goal is a greater good, just needs some support and encouraging to take a step back and plan a better execution to reach it.
"Alphinaud is introduced much earlier than his twin sister Alisaie" they're literally both in the very first cutscene of ARR.
I'm really enjoying Alphinaud now in Stormblood
Me, in ARR: "Alph, you areogant little bitch."
Me, in Heavensward: "Hug time? Hug time. Come here and get yourself some cocoa. Tell me whats wrong. Ill be your pillar to lean on."
Me, in Stormblood: "Allie, stop doubting and bullying my Son."
I really loved how Alphinaud grew on me, from little squirt to my dear little brother
Technically they are introduced at the same time, it’s just that while Alphinaud sticks around for the MSQ, Alisaie kind fucks off after the remembrance ceremonies and goes to the Coils
He had such good character growth, he easily became one of my favorite characters
