But few have resonated with me more than those the Warrior of Light loses on their journey.
Faces like Haurchefant, Ysayle, and Yotsuyu, to name just a few.
Without ever saying a word, its clear that his loss resonates, and follows them on their journey.

But why him and not others?
Yotsuyu and Zenos are intrinsically linked, though only one persists in the narrative.
From a young age, Yotsuyu was taken advantage of.
For a time, she and Gosetsu exist in peaceful tranquillity.
Of course, Yotsuyu isnt allowed a happy ending.
This was all arranged by Asahi, who also gives her the tools she needs to become a primal.
This trial is the first that really struck an emotional chord with me.
Its like being a participant in a dramatic play.
When the fight begins it feels like all others that came before it.
Then, a twist occurs mid-battle as Yotsuyu falls to the ground.
You must then protect her from her own memories, and all that harmed her made manifest.
In the end, she dies without a full redemption arc.
She dies, killing Asahi for all hes done to her, and with a smile on her face.
Why would such an emotional and beloved character not become a fixture of the ongoing narrative?
Still, it would be nice if she were more integrated into the story, like Haurchefant is.
Hopefully, when the Ultimate for Stormblood comes, shell be directly referenced.
With Haurchefant getting an entire Ultimate raid about him, perhaps its only a matter of time.
