also setting aside 14 shafting so many female characters, papalymo is my roman empire of characters the game doesn't pay lip service to

#there's haurche and y'sayle but then pap just gets shafted and forgotten about #save for in relationship to lyse and even then it's not brought up #i think it's partially on continued unsatisfactory writing w lyse #i can see the threads there if you played 1.0 or are invested in the story and his role there #but for a lot of players it isn't like that + if you didn't start in gridania you are missing a lot of both pap and lyse #which feels like such a disservice to them both #i know lyse has stuff w pap but i wanted more out of it #i wanted him alive in stormblood bc their interactions would have been So Wonderful #the opportunities for friction and development of the both of them and their relationship changing #as lyse takes up this cause #me banging my fists we could have had it allllll #tbh stormblood as a whole is my roman empire #she's got so much potential #she could have been dark like shadowbringers! #there's little bites of what could have been with yotsuyu and the doman arc
