While I think there's something to be said for choosing kindness / having the option of avoiding violence / forgoing your role as a machine of war, I do wish we got to see more of Jill being ruthless as she was when returning to Drake's Breath
I've posted before about her role in FFXVI's themes of revenge, and how refreshing that a concept typically used as a "cautionary tale" not only has little consequences for the characters but also is dealt with empathy and provides relief to many.
But I also think her scene with Imreann was one of the clearest examples of how she is a character you do not want to cross. Cold ice queen archetype aside, someone who may seem unassuming but will remorselessly flay you when given the chance. She battles methodically and could easily hold her own against most enemies had the curse not affected her so
I guess it's just another result of her having a less active role as the story goes on. As much as the reason of her declining health due to her Eikon being abused makes sense, I wonder if it was wholly necessary to include or if they couldn't have given her a few more comparable moments, though I'm glad she gets that focus in some scenes
