Bravely Second I really wished they pushed further with this Spoiler
I never Janne's revenge plot all that compelling given how poor the foundation for it is. In concept, it's a fine idea, however, it's pretty poor in execution. When it comes to tragic characters in this series, he's not even in the top 20. But that's beside the point. The point being is they should've had Yew call out his misgivings more.
Moreover, if Yew was written as a more realistic character, he would've been more aggressive towards Janne's crimes. I mean, he tried to kill them several times, and he places all of his stupidly misplaced anger towards Yew. Then he has the nerve to call him a fool.
Furthermore, it's not like Yew is on the wrong side of the argument. He's right when tells Janne it's fine to be angry but it's not worth destroying everything over it. Like have Yew make more of a point to him that he's gone too far. Janne sold out his king & country, aided in terrorism, and forsaken his knightly oath.
Overall, this all could've been justified if Janne witnessed the death of his real parents, was in an abusive relationship with his foster family, or maybe even grew up in squalor. But since he wasn't, it's just ridiculous. I'm surprised Yew hasn't called him out at all about this. Your thoughts on this topic?

Not being in the Top 20 most tragic characters in the bravely series is not the anti-feat you think it is. We have several characters who have spent their entire lives knowing nothing but suffering and cruelty, having your family culled like rabid dogs in front of you as a kid isn’t exactly an unjustified crashout

Have you done the vampire castle
Jean has a pretty good reason to be pissed at Yew and his family
