Hoo boy do I feel you on Malos. I think he's mostly fine in Torna (Torna's not where he needed his character development in my opinion) but him dying in the end just feels at odds with the rest of the game. Also, Rex's whole thing in the end is forgiveness and moving into the future together and all, and maybe it's just me but it always felt MIGHTY convenient he never had to put his money where his mouth is because every single villain ends up dead, lol. It didn't have to be Malos but it would have been stronger if he'd actually had to work together with someone who harmed him personally, even if just by implication after the ending.
(Malos is also my xb2 favourite along with Akhos, whose terrible little shit-ness I enjoy way too much and who also got shafted by the narrative.)
(Honestly, basegame muffling around as to what Torna the org actually wants as whole kind of shafts them all a bit, in my opinion...)
In XB3 my favourite is by faa a aaaaaaar N, followed pretty closely by Noah. Eunie is my second favourite party member, although I really like all six of them... The game still isn't perfect about it, but in my opinion it's definitely the best written party out of all three games.
Isurd IS delightfully weird, aha. I like him a lot.
(It might interest you that he stars in the languagefic, along with protagonist Taion! Whenever I get around to actually writing that.)
In XB1, Melia was weakly my favourite and after XB3 she's now strongly my favourite, ha.
I don't think I have any xbx favourites... The writing in X generally didn't make a big impression on me, but maybe I can say Mira as a whole is my favourite character, because I sure loved exploring every inch of it. XD
