>>51575922>I'd rather see a character with actual goalsExplorers Partner isn't a character, it is a prop. You can call them a fucking wimp to their face and they'll thank you for it. The stockholm syndrome is palpable.
Refute the argument that Explorers partner is a doormat literal who, if you even can. You can't bash the Rescue Partner for your nonexistent criticism, then praise the Explorers for being the same exact thing. I could remove the Explorers partner's blubbering entirely and the story would be more or less the same. Who says the protag wouldn't be able to find their own way towards the Guild without some crybaby hounding them?
>>51576006>Yes, and they're all the more irrelevant for it.No, they're an actual character with a life outside of you, which if you weren't such a hypocrit you'd acknowledge and appreciate. The Explorers is there to railroad you into the story even moreso than the Rescue Team's partner. Compare

>ALL their dialogue is replaced with generic text for that speciesBecause by that point you could evolve them? Funny how you cite development limitations when it's suitable for you. We're not discussing postgame, we're discussing which of these two partners is the doormat, and it's VERY obvious to anyone with a brain who is.
