Let’s take a look back at ARR and what I think of each MSQ character so far. I tried to be fair and rate them based on both their general vibe and how integral they have been to the story. I’ll update this each expansion to see how my opinion changes as more happens!
I’ve started my first playthrough of Final Fantasy XIV over on Twitch. I hope some of you will join me on this adventure!

This was fun to do! Don't take it too seriously

tbf Alphinaud is the rich kid getting his reality check so A tier is a bit generous if it's ONLY him from ARR

It took me ages to get used to a couple of the new voices…
Haurchefant really always has been top tier.
Very fair list when you are only considering ARR and I like your reasons for where they are listed with how much impact they all were in the story. I'm curious to how much changes as you do each expansion if any. This was a fun watch!
it's fun to see the opinion of someone who just played ARR, it'll be even more fun to see the changes later
You are a great content creator! Always fun to watch!
Didnt u finish ARR AGES ago
I can't wait to see how these rankings change over time >:3
You know people always ask "what has minfillia done?", like she's literally running the scions. I get like it's not glamerous and she isn't a fighter who gets cool moments, so like doesn't make her a cool character, but the idea that she "doesn't do anything" always felt like a pretty flat criticism. "She doesn't do anything cool or interesting" might be a valid criticism.
Brother I have seen a few of your videos that were recommended to me by the youtube algorithm a few weeks ago, and those videos were 8 to 9 months old. You're telling me you've just finished AAR ? I thought you were at the very least in Endwalker since then lmao. Are you doing every single quest in the game that's lvl 50 or below in AAR areas ?
god i love teledji Great list, very interesting to see your takes on them for the early parts of the world!
I am surprised you placed Lahabrea as low as you did when he's responsible for so many things, from the inciting incident that gets you recruited by Minfilia, his possession of Thancred immediately after Ifrit and all the way through MSQ to spy on the Scions, telling the empire where home base is (leading to the raid on the Waking Sands), and yes, Gaius' whole Ultima Weapon plan.
