No but you are absolutely right about how Lunafreya and Jill (haven't played FFXVI yet but still) are supposed to be narratively important but?? Don't really do much on screen? Or anything? They're just kinda there and it's sad because their potential is astronomical! And we know that FF is capable of making fully rounded female characters because just look at the previous games. Kinda sad to see that undermining the females in favor of the males is becoming a trend now.

RIGHT the fact that we KNOW square has made female characters with amazing character arcs before makes it so much more disappointing when they just?? willingly choose not to??? its bizarre

at least nowadays they have the courtesy to come up with some flimsy excuse as for why a female character has to be benched so i guess theres that lmao

#like i get that jill got sidelined bc she was the most worn out by the curse and all and using shiva was too risky #but they couldve given her a bigger role within the hideaway and let her do stuff OUTSIDE of combat #its been ages since i played xv but from what i remember lunafreya had a lot of potential from a political perspective #so why not lean into that and give her a bigger role there #at least she got to have a big impact on noctis so she had a presence in the game even when she wasnt actively on screen #but jill didnt really have much of an impact at all outside of her short arc #aside from making clive turn on tiamat at the beginning of the game #its such a waste ugh i hope one of the dlc will be about her #ask #anonymous
