Remember all the advertising about the Scions being at odds with eachother

All this amounted to was Thancred dropping some rocks in our path in a dungeon.

I feel lied to

i felt pretty insulted when he dropped those rocks...

but i did think it was the start of more shit throwing. it was disappointing

Was there advertisement or just something a dev said once? I never bought it anyway, since the conflict we were being sold on was so low stakes to begin with. Like, how seriously at odds could they really be in this scenario? lol

We were indeed all deceived, citizen. The devs must be held accountable.




Remember the lessons of the past.

The scions are going to be PITTED against each other in this rite of succession!
Betrayal between friends?! Anything can happen!

Yoshida said it a few times, I'm guessing he's just the Todd Howard of FFXIV

Yeah, he just suspected it would pique interest, most likely. C'est la vie. Never trust anyone on a press tour.

It was probably stupid of me to expect a duel with Thancred and Urianger, It would've been cool though.

I would've loved to have had some friendly competition with my fellow scions. Hell, they could've been used as learning opportunities for Poochie...I mean Wuk to give her some actual character development.

If only the Scions had someone who managed to build a large group, almost akin to a nation and have it taken away from him, forcing him to learn from his hubris and mistakes. A character like that would've had a lot to teach someone who wants to lead a country. Or maybe if the Scions had a hot-headed character who learned to temper her ferocity with compassion for others. Imagine the wisdom a character like that could impart on a future queen. Oh, even better, how about a character that despite being skilled was always a bit behind because he couldn't control aether like everyone else, and had to rely on his wits. If he suffered a tragic loss, which forced him to grow that would be even better. He might have been able to teach Wuk important lessons about love, life, and loss.

Unfortunately the Scions don't have any characters like that. Only cardboard cutouts that constantly ask, "Where's Wuk Lamat?" when she's not on screen.

You guys thought this was going to be just a summer vacation for the Warrior of Light? Think again!

Check this out. Eliminator.
Bet you wonder what that's all about, huh? It's probably something massive... stay tuned!


I think I'm done with media tours after all these misdirections this time around
