I wish Diantha had had more scenes too, because she was cute and had a lot of potential. I agree about Team Flare, though, at least the grunts. They were idiots. And those red suits didn't do anything for me.
And...I kinda liked that Sycamore was an idiot about Lysandre. >.> Granted the game didn't fully explore both sides of it all-on one hand Lysandre's been Augustine's bff since they were kiddos, but on the other hand Lysandre is a genocidal nutjob. My guess is Sycamore was hanging onto his idealism and thought he could singlehandedly talk Lysandre out of it, or just hope Lysandre would have the smarts and the sense to stop himself from going crazy. The professor's regrets after the Team Flare plotline wrapped up felt natural, like he realized he should've tried harder or done more to stop his friend. I like the concept of a professor caught between being a naturally good guy but super close with a genocidal nutjob.
/fanwak/shipper bias
I hope this game will at least get a sequel so holes can be filled and questions can be answered.
/tl;dr I disagree with a lot of the negatives sorry ;3; I'M NOT TRYING TO CHANGE ANYONE'S MIND I SWEAR
