No, I feel that Precht always had this sort of darkness in him. He left FT to Makarov for the sole purpose of beginning to pursue the Ultimate Magic World (right?) because he had already become pretty obsessed with it and eventually took that too far. I feel at least at some point in FT0 it would be nice to see him come into contact with Zeref/something Zeref made/strong Magic and start to show this more obsessed side of himself. It would be a nice hint at things to come imo. However, right now, both he and Yury are definitely my favourites, though I do enjoy the whole cast atm tbh :)

And, just quickly on the flow: if Zeira is a projection/illusion/imaginary friend of Mavis' like I think, I wouldn't be surprised if her dialogue just reflects Mavis' own wants and needs at the time. As such, Mavis was just being told by Yury that she would have to basically fight them for the Jade, so she might be wanting to train harder to protect herself and shows that through Zeira. Not sure *shrugs*
