22- Aina

This might be the biggest climb in the list. Aina was a character who almost didn't deserve to be in the last list. Now here?

She's a BADASS. No, seriously. She is the most lit escort character ever, hitting enemies and pushing them to the other side of the battlefield with her bag. She knows how to craft smoke bombs at home. The game was already hinting at how hardcore Aina was for her infinite drinking ability, but here they just went to town with her.

She inherited a ton of money, then her evil uncle decided to take it from her, so she decided to fight for him, not because she wanted the money, but out of principle. Then she got the money, donated it all to charity. And then, she testified for him because turns out she doesn't really want her uncle to be in prison, just not to have her money. Few people have as much class as Aina does.

She doesn't really have an arc per se, though, just a goal, and once she fulfills it, she's happy to be a guild clerk or whatever. And it's fine. Not everyone needs to be a protagonist, sometimes we just need peace of mind.

21- Mogran

Cool axe.

20- Dunan

Loses a couple positions though not by his fault, other people just had actual screentime.

19- Cassius

Here's here and I love the way they made him incredibly strong gameplay-wise too. Though the fact he's actually easier in the arena fight cheapens him a bit.

There is also the Jagger door, where we get a serial reporting on Cassius making Erebonia freak out about how much of a God he is.

Maybe it's recency bias, but I enjoy Cassius a bit more now. I guess it's probably getting more demonstrations of him being amazing instead of just hearing about it.

18- Gilbert

Climbs a bit, because this game actually gave him a redemption arc. Except not really, it's the Team Rocket redemption arc. Works with the good guys, admits he likes them, but is back at trying to steal Pikachu tomorrow.

The humor was hit or miss, since the jokes about him being saved were a bit repetitive, but he was pretty awesome in the final chapter, tbh.

17- Campanella

Climbs a whole bunch, because he's very fun in this game. The door with the Anguis is pretty cool, particularly him drooling about how he will get to manipulate Kevin later on. Except he won't, because Kevin just got character development. But knowing Campanella, he probably won't mind the setback and will latch onto someone else. Crossbell is about to start and I'm pretty sure there will be no shortage of anti-heroes/villains to manipulate there.

I love him in the Q&A minigame too. Well not the minigame itself. But Campanella wearing ridiculous clothes and making snarky commentary on series lore is awesome.

I still know jack shit about the character, but I hope he stays around.

16- Dorothy

Barely appears, but the sequence with her desperately trying to get food is very funny (Ries would empathize). So she keeps the position, minus being passed by Richard/Ries, I suppose.

15- Sherazard

She's only really losing positions to Richard and Ries, so it's not a huge deal. But Schera is just not great this game and she wasn't fantastic to begin with, so I feel like a tier knockdown is warranted here.

Her door is mostly her being a jerk to Aina (and the later being classy about it). We do get some monologue about how terrible her life was before joining the circus, but I guess it just didn't hit me that hard compared to... a certain star door. Because all that stuff, her stealing and getting stolen from, I had already pictured (though her getting beaten up does hit me a bit).

My problem is that I didn't feel the connection between that and her attitude during the door's main plott, because there is her entire story with the circus and her friendship with the Brights in the middle, so Schera suddenly turning into a massive ass feels that it comes out of nowhere. They do explain that she is afraid of returning to her life in poverty... but really, she is an adult now, perfectly able to get a job in some shop or whatever, and it's not like the Brights will ever let her be homeless. Cassius will just adopt every troubled character he finds at this point.

And in present day, she gets nothing besides some very light ship tease with Olivier, being one of those characters who didn't really have to be in this game. Now, that doesn't erase the stuff I actually liked from Schera, so she doesn't drop considerably, but I'm tired of trying to find reasons to keep her in the same tier as people who don't annoy me as much as she does.
