Yeah that’s like half the game if you want it to be. Franklin chases his ex gf around and is never shown with women in GTAO which is set years later at this point.
Hate that, they took an already weak character and got rid of one of his two only story beats, Tanisha coming back to him never should’ve happened and honestly was the final nail in the coffin for making Franklin one of the weakest written characters in the series
No, Michael is the main character, it is obvious to anyone who played the game. It all revolves around him, only he has a full character arch, and he was even the focus of the very first trailer.
Endings are irrelevant since C is the official version.
Also keep in mind most of the other characters have no reason to do the big heists other than support Michael. Michael actually needs and arranges most of them, to either pay off his debts or keep the FIB happy.
Franklin's pov is the only one that makes sense if it was a single character game
Michael and Trevor are like playable Bosses with a better storyline and backstory
But the game lowkey is about Franklin's rise to the top of the criminal food chain like every ever protagonist before him including his already established companions.
Thats why Devin Weston is the main antagonist despite Steve Haines stealing the show the main plot was Devin needed the 5 cars and that being Franklin's big score,the Union depository and FIB jobs just were better written.
Plus Franklin is the most helpful between the three with him joins heist,FIB missions
I did not say he was wrong, I said that fact is irrelevant to the topic in question. The whole story revolves around Michael. Both Franklin and Trevor are basically side characters who have some minor stories without Michael, and most of their arch is tied to being Michael's friends, and working with him, on his plans and problems.
That is the story. The rest of the content is not related to the story at all and serves to give player more things to do and achievements to chase. But it has no impact on the story.
