What are your thoughts on Zenos? Do you think he is a well written character, or a bad Gary Stu?

I am in Stormblood, and everytime he's on screen the game won't stop telling me how amazing and perfect he is. He's coming across as an annoyingly bad Gary Stu. It doesn't make any of his writing feel compelling, complex or interesting in the slightest.

What's worse is I'm already aware I won't be dealing with him in this expansion. Lucky me.

I can't be the only one who feels this way, right?
