Thank for the brutal honesty, I prefer that and it is exactly what I wanted (Being sensitive for a critique is pointless and and nothing is gained or learned).
All accurate points and I did neglect to point out his flaws which he has I assure you, sorry. I partially assumed some of the flaws were assumed which I shouldn't have done.
He's what he already has in that regard (I've never listed them so I have to recall)

He's the antithesis of Juné more or less.

His personality was based on an actual person when I designed him initially years ago, even his skill in engineering and the sciences (assuming you classify magic as a subset of magic) is based on said person. Also I forgot to add this detail, he has a mild case of Asperger's (technically only implied) in my story, I'm not sure how well that translates into FFXIV lore. His personality flaws circle around that.

Personality wise:
  • He's often naive when it comes to relationships with himself and others 
  • He's mildly arrogant which blinds him to his flaws. (This also comes with a pinch of stubbornness).
  • Hard time keeping his thoughts to himself (may correct or argue with people in a conversation not involving him).
  • Melkire mentioned more street smarts than book smart, in Chris's case lets reverse that and push it, he has very limited street smarts but good book smarts.
  • I also forgot one of his most noticeable trait, his anxiety ticks, he flicks his fingers back and forth with his thumb on the same hand.

I'll tone down the manipulation bit by stating "He's been known on occasion to trick people into getting what he wants." as weaseling out've fights would be a subset of that and I did intend for a broader interpretation of that anyway.

Physically:
  • Overall low physical skills, though I'll point out that due to his skill at reading people he is okay at predicting opponents.
Now combat/magical skills, he only has basic skill in healing and basic offensive magic due to his magical studies. Again since we don't know the lore behind machinist I can only speculate, however skill with engineering machinations would naturally come with skill using them. He's 29 in FFXIV so he's had sometime to build up his skills (and I did say master of none), though don't get me wrong I understand your point of the whole child prodigy thing.
So if I were to analyze him stat wise:
  • Strength: much below average
  • Vitality: slightly below average
  • Dexterity: average
  • Intelligence: above average
  • Mind: slightly above average
  • Piety: average
I will also point out that none of his pros and cons venture into the extreme, so none rule his personality.

Is he afraid of anything?
Not being able to solve a problem, (Not being able to rely on his mind, so also like losing in a strategic game) 

Is there anything he wishes he could do better?
He wishes for a better purpose in life, he feels like he's just floating in a cloud aimlessly. He's dissatisfied with a simple life of occasional crafting commissions, he wants to study nature and advance society via technology. Perhaps in FFXIV he enjoys studying Garlean tech and wishes for everyone to take queues (That was a quick suggestion I don't know if that'll stick).

Does he regret anything in his life?
His family relationships which are in tatters, his father is dead and he didn't fix the relationship prior to.

Is he purposefully arrogant based on his skills with other things?
He acknowledges his lack in other skills well enough.
 
Are there any sorts of people he just doesn't like? Why?
People he feels are ignorant overall or especially choosing to be ignorant.

It's just my opinion, though. There's really no need to go spreading it around.
