How much Monoco is there in the game?

[CitizenKing]

Not gonna lie, I didn't really pay this game any attention but I've seen clips of this absolute treasure of a character and I'm straight up willing to buy the game just to see more of him. Question is, how much of him actually is there? To use FFIX as an example, is he like Vivi where he takes center stage quite often, or is he like Quina who is used like three times as a gag and otherwise non-existent?

More like Quina.

More like Quinah yeah, no center stage for Monoco in the main quest.
You can get quite a few optional convos with him though.
Most of his scenes / lines are gold, comic relief but not the annoying kind.
He's made of sass, badass & smarts. If you liked FF9, buy the game.

He comes in rather late, around the midway point, gets the spotlight for a while, with good scenes, banter, and a killer OST, but in the long run has more of a secondary role, his ties to the main plot are kinda weak so he's often just standing there in the background when things get serious

He does have some serious / emotional moments, but he's both a latecomer and not plot-essential, so your playthrough isn't gonna revolve around him

The game is shorter than FF9 so he also has less screen time but the character is brilliant. The humour is top level but not over the top. He is a good friend with one of the characters so most dialogs are between them at the campsite. Probably 80% is optional.
I also like his fighting style so he is in my main team all the time.

I wouldn't quite compare Monoco to Quina. His role in the story is small, but he has a very meaningful relationship with one of the other main characters and the game treats him with respect for the most part. He's fun as heck to use in battle too.

You shouldn't be disappointed, they mean his style of gameplay is like Quina not his personality. He essentially learns monster skills and fights like them which has always been a FF staple.

Understandable. Quina was awful. Thankfully the mean that he's basically the blue mage of this game rather than WTF Quina was supposed to be as a character.

Once he joins your group you can decide to keep him in the active trio for as long as you want to. He doesn't have many lines to speak, but a few intense scenes. I did expect him to be a comic relief when he appeared, and was pleasantly surprised that he's more of a sage with ... tastes.
