I can see why people doesn't like this. They don't like Tira, they like Sophie. They want Sophie back.
But what I don't get is the constant "Tira is too weak/inexperienced to kill Sophitia!" nonsense.
Tira has been portrayed as powerful since her very first appearance(fighting Sophitia as an equal- or perhaps even worse, better than that), and while openings aren't canon, she effortlessly owns Raphael in III's.
So first off, she most certainly isn't "too weak".
Inexperienced? Tira has been fighting constantly since she was a child, as opposed to Sophitia, who was a baker's daughter with no sword skill whatsoever until SE(). When Sophitia first set out in SE, Tira was already out killing people.
Sophitia was given her skills by her weapon, and her total "experience" of combat consists of three short journeys, which likely don't even add up to a year.
Saying Tira is weak is belittling to both Sophitia and Tira.
Add to this that Tira has Pyrrha as a bargaining chip. If Sophitia were ready to kill others to save Pyrrha, you really think she would put up a fight if Tira told her that Nightmare would kill Pyrrha if she fought back?
Sophitia getting killed by Tira would be logical even without the bargaining chip. With it, it's not even funny how simple it would be, story-wise.
