What's his opinion on Stephanivien breaking from Ishgard's traditional combat/arming the commoners with guns?
the short version is that he's very much like his dad in this respect... he hated it at first but he's since come around

francel in general has been kind of pissed off at steph for a while because steph clearly has what it takes to be a knight, he's got great charisma and pecs for days and dad wants so badly for him to stop playing with machines, but steph takes all the things francel wishes he had and just squanders them!! (in his view anyway)

and arming commoners is like... francel likes the commoners that work for him well enough, but he definitely... doesn't see them as equals? maybe it's just that sylvaintel arranges for the best stuff to be sent to francel so that he can profit off of it by osmosis, but srsly he has a house full of food while skyfire locks is just barren, i don't think francel has a bleeding heart out to save all his commoner friends...

also wow i just realized that i don't think i mentioned francel is in charge of skyfire locks in my app lmfao

it's basically a series of air raid shelters but whatever his knights seem to run it more than he does

so yeah arming a mob of commoners with guns is a hilariously bad idea to francel, especially because he has been kidnapped and almost ransomed/killed by commoners before so honestly he probably subscribes to the idea that "THERE ARE GOOD COMMONERS BUT LOOK BRO THERE ARE ALSO SOME VERY BAD ONES AND YOU ARE A SHIT JUDGE OF CHARACTER," and also, arming a disorganized group of people with weapons can never ever be a good idea

...since the machinist's guild is actually working out, though, and they even drove off svara, francel’s come around to the idea of it, so now he's just stuck sulking because steph did something better than him again (i make him sound like such a useless fuckboy jfc)

but he does have massive respect for the whole endeavor now

but he still sometimes wishes his big brother were a respectable knight like haurchefant or artoirel
