The final part of ARR story doesn't make enough sense.

the fact that it doesn't go the way you way makes it more realistic... shit don't always play out the way you want it to.

So we all agree that there was nothing we could do but flee then? To recap, Out Numbered, hostile territory on enemy's home turf, political reasons stopping Kan-E and the Admiral from helping, and the Scions ultimately sacrificed them selves for the good of the realm. Trust me, no one is more unhappy about Minfilia telling us to go on with out her or ticked about Lolorito winning than me, but it happened.

All we can do is bide our time in Ishguard and wait for our chance to take down Lolorito and avenge Nanamo and the Scions. Cue the start of my 3.0 RP.

I just make sure to shoot Lorolito's ugly statue in Vesper Bay with my magitek armour whenever I can now. ;)

We also have to keep in mind that Kan E and Merlwyb were surrounded. Even if they attacked they only had a few body guards with them.

They were given a clear choice to leave, or be arrested as well

Eh I honestly doubt that the monetarist would have the balls to arrest two nations leaders. That would have definitely started ul'dah down the path of a war on three fronts and I'm not even including the garleans. However, we can't be entirely sure and this is all my opinion.

We don't, not even Ifrit, even though we get captured without anyone else, there's an NPC nearby who leads out out of the area you're in. He tells you to go get help and then come back to defeat Ifrit.

I believe merely for gameplay purposes. Story-wise, we do face each primal, solo.

Of course, "solo" in this context means "relying very heavily on the Crystals of Light and/or Hydaelyn."

As in physically, just you vs the primal.

Yeah, but it was with Hydaelyn's help, which we aren't going to get while facing the Braves and Blades. So saying, as some are, "Hey, we fought the primals solo!" doesn't mean much. The bulk of our power at the time was coming from the Crystals.
