Best Alphinaud Moments [FFXIV]

Alphi's a good boi

[@iris5678]

They went from "I'm going to yeet them off a cliff" to "If you touch them, I'll yeet you off the cliff."

[@v3rsatilempath]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@THEREALBLU13]

“I want to throw the annoying bastard off a cliff” to “if you even think of touching MY annoying bastard I will throw you off a cliff”

[@koko-hh2bq]

The character development Alphinaud underwent is truly admiring and remarkable. He went from the most annoying character to one of my favourite Scions to venture with.

[@CooroSnowFox]

He tries too hard to be his own main character until he realises that the wol will do more than he ever can and all he can do is backup

[@CooroSnowFox]

Most of the scions have hangups and every so often the story will manage to find and expose them (y'shtola, g'raha)

[@eladriellebachental]

I agree with you on that!

[@Verdugo_Arulaq]

Remember that one time one of the Devs said he was basically a Redditor that needed to touch grass at first but eventually did touch grass and developed into a lovable character? Yeah I’m inclined to agree lmao

[@imraw17]

I think he finally became less selfish when his little army fell apart. going into heavensward is when I finally really started connecting with him on a person level.

[@Mikaracat]

Alphinaud had the best character development in FFXIV in my opinion. He went from the character I was ready to throw off an airship, to my little brother who I'm more emotionally attached to than anyone else in this game. Seriously, someone messes with him, the Warrior of light is willing to rip their spine out through their throat.

[@otakamerd1220]

Everyone talks about Thancred essentially becoming Rynes dad but nobody talks about the WoL becoming Alisae and Alphinaud’s new older sibling. We would go through hell and back for Alphinaud and Alisae after Shadowbringers

[@Verdugo_Arulaq]

“Alright so he called it the ‘Crystal Braves’ right?” NAH YOU DIRTY FOR THAT ONE LMAOOOO OUTTA POCKET

[@cherri3282]

It made me laugh soo hard xD

[@CairaAke22]

I never noticed that in Shadowbringers/Endwalker, his voice is definitely deeper pitched than in Heavensward! I'd love to see the twins as they grow older now

[@alexsilverstar629]

Alphinaud truly went from an arrogant, idealistic boy, to a young man who genuinely wishes to do good, realising that he cannot do that alone and admitting to his mistakes. I think all of us started off wanting to throw em overboard, but now the twins are possibly the two people I feel like I have the closest connection to. I love em, like little siblings I never had, and I think will anything ever happen to either of them, it would genuinely tear my heart apart. Every time i saw them sad, I really just wished I had the option to hug them, tell them it's gonna be okay.

[@thomasfleming8131]

14:27 Fun little detail. Talk to Estinean after this scene and he comments about Alphinaud never letting that firewood thing go

[@biggrayalien4791]

Yeah I loved reading that 😂

[@LowCountryMatt]

I've come from the future to confirm... several expansions later and he still brings it up

[@DiverseComedyGaming]

Alphinaud: reminds me of my childhood Alisaie: BITCH WHAT YOU SAY!?!

[@baalmolech]

Alisae: “Somehow the boy just isn’t very buoyant.” Also Alisae: :V

[@otakamerd1220]

Feo Ul gonna be the final boss of the next DLC because we haven’t spoken to her in a solid few years at this point

[@elgatochurro]

I was so upset... I wanted to talk to them so much more and summon them for help

[@elijahgrimm8052]

The scene with Dulia never fails to make me tear up. Such a wonderful character.

[@yellowstalk6653]

The Chais have to be near the top of my favourite characters in ShB

[@hartantoanggoro]

Alphi and Ali in nutshell Alisaie : YEA ADVENTURE TIME!!! Alphinaud : Uh tea time?

[@zerefdragneel6550]

Oh god! Krylie grinning while showing her teeth scares me for some reason. Goes to show how savage she can be.

[@matvize]

Fuck, dude, that ending caught me by surprise. Nice.

[@erdnuzz8368]

Sibling Puns of those two are too precious XD

[@snailmail2000]

Starting the game I thought Alphinaud was nothing more than an entitled annoying brat. Going more into the game with him, I can't even imagine XIV without him anymore. Dude went from arrogant kid to one of the better people actually trying to do something good.

[@crowdemon_archives]

He's idealistic, I'll give you that

[@battlemageazulio1019]

2:15 The look of abject embarrassment and dismay on Alphinaud's face is just PRICELESS. xD

[@Feasco]

getting roasted in public by a mentor that's barely taller than his knees

[@redjoker365]

Soroban's such a savage, waving after Alphie belly-flops off the dock

[@agsdedluxferre2955]

Alphinaud is one of the best characters in the series imo I felt the Dev that made the comment agreeing he was a redditor who needed to touch grass missed the whole point of his character as does a lot of people who didn't like him. He's a sixteen year old kid not some grown man who stepped up to help the WOL when all of the scions were kidnapped successfully with the WOL's and Cid's help do what no one else had done deal a crushing defeat to the empire. Of course he grew a big head and thought he could solve the world's problems like some sort of short sighted MC, all of his mistakes and "redditor" takes is due to a teen's ego until he gets his reality check when the adults who have life experience come out to play and it seems all of the Scions are dead or missing with just Him, WOL, and Tataru being all that's left. ARR ends with his ego being ultimately shattered and the realization that he was just a teen playing hero when he knew so little of the actual world and it's people, sure he was book smart but he had no life experience, it's not wonder Illberd easily took command under his nose dude is 44 years old with way more life experience and war experience. Heavensward is one of my favorite expansions as it touches on so many different aspects but it's also when Alphinaud grows as a person through Estinien acting as a sort of father figure (Dudes 32 btw) and begins to realize what it means to be an adult. It's why his character changes and develops so much, he's not just some adult making dumb decisons like a 30 yr old redditor he's a Teenager who does what a Teenager does and makes stupid decisions during a time when people are dumb, short sighted, and have big dreams without having the life experience to understand what goes into those dreams, and to not make reckless decisions, and due to the constant tragic events he's surrounded by he's forced to grow up fast. Personally it's this writing choice I enjoyed about FFXIV the character's are believable for their age groups in the fantasy setting they've made, and Alphinaud is an example of a character who the community is far to harsh on at first because they seem to forget he's supposed to be a Teenager, and anime has ruined many people's perception of realistic portrayals of Teens in fantasy media I think is a big part to blame.

[@ximenapavlikova1710]

I’ve always thought of Alphie as the main character in the game ❤

[@hoshi314]

From an annoying pompous arse to a humbled man who strived to be better. Not my favorite character but undoubtedly had the best of the best character development

[@beeslikesteve]

I hated the twins so much in realm reborn. Wild how loved they would become.

[@Kebin13]

The fuck did alisaea did wrong in a realm reborn? Alphinaud incan understand, with the crystal braves stuff and all, but, again, the hell did ali do wrong?

[@beeslikesteve]

@@Kebin13 eh they were both cringy anime characters. I honestly hardly remember much from realm. Except alphinaud sucked

[@Kebin13]

@@beeslikesteve dude, this shit is a JAPANESE GAME, ALL the characters are "cringy anime characters", and the fact you cant even remember an instance of what made them so, oh horrible, kinda shows you are probably just parroting the "realm reborn sucked" schitck everyone seems to love doing.

[@eyestotheskies]

Dulia Chai ended up having such mom energy for alphinaud, it was the cutest thing lol

[@FemboyLevi]

I only know all of their voices in German since its my native language and I played the game in German but damn Alphinaud his voice is so good. His German voice sounds very dorky and the English one sounds so formal haha

[@AshF724]

When Alphi goes "reminds me of my childhood..." my first thought was "RUN, ALPHI, RUN"

[@patinthesnow752]

Someone help me confirm I’m not crazy. I swear I saw a scene where Alphinaud was passed out on the beach and Alisaie was over him trying to shake him awake. Or am I imagining things? It was after a big event

[@absollum]

During the credits of Shadowbringers.

[@psymar]

after he swam the *whole* way back from the Tempest. He still fared better than Urianger.

[@eyestotheskies]

Look at my son 🎶

[@Proggish]

I remember assuming everyone in eulmore was shitty, and that Dulia was gonna be an absolutely shitty character, just from how the whole section was presented... but she quickly became my favorite eulmoran. She had so much kindness and love to give.

Cute Lalafell! :3

Best of femboy

[@natman2939]

Why are the character designs in this so awful?!? That little person with the hood that used to be the elf’s teacher looks like some doll nightmare fuel And the “warrior of light” looks like a slightly less creepy doll. And I don’t mean “doll” in some cute way. But like an actual toy.

[@LowIntSpecimen]

yeah that's just what lalafell look like lmao

[@natman2939]

@@LowIntSpecimen because they were designed to look that way. That’s what character design is. When I said “why are the character designs so awful?” I meant “why did they make the decision to make them look that way?” They could’ve made them look another way. Most any other way would better

[@LowIntSpecimen]

eh, they grow on you. or, at least they have on me. definitely prefer the eyes on dunefolk though, pupils like krile's can still be a bit unnerving

​@@natman2939lalas still look miles better than the dwarfs, gnomes and all the "little" races in wow tho lmao Plus, they dont look bad, they just dont catter to your taste.

[@natman2939]

@@Kebin13 hard disagree. They look like the humanoid versions of cartoon mice. Dwarfs in WOW are just typical LOTR dwarfs. The gnomes do look stupid but not as stupid as these guys.
