Please, Please make the intercessory zone a sanctuary just like Dragonhead is.

for my 5 cents...

The Ending really sucks for me. It's enough having a 1st one in 1.0 (albeit cool cinematics), which I play thoroughly. Now, not only we get another bad ending, it also left me with feeling back where I started when I first starting 1.0, but not in a good way.

Seeing that ending makes me suddenly lose interest of doing anything else. Makes me really consider going back to Vana'diel instead.

Not even sure I'll be looking forward for Heavensward given these circumstances, especially when 2.55 became 2.0 major conclusion.

From Zero... to Hero, and from Hero... back to Zero.

Which quest shows Yugiri's face? Don't wanna watch all cutscenes after Steps of Faith atm

All I have to say is THANK YOU! The ending to this part of the story was wonderful! So exciting. I can't wait for Heavensward.

Really meh about it. It was okay, but a lot of it was extremely obvious. It was just one thing after another happening as expected. There were a couple surprises though:

Raubahn slashing up that stupid lalafell, thank god

They left a lot of things ??? for the expansion, kinda annoying. Probably to get people to buy it I guess? I felt a lot more fulfillment and interest in FFXI's storylines than this. I really hate the overarching politics theme on top of it.

Also, I'm getting tired of the "this guy is your friend, but maybe he's not, OMG HE'S THE ENEMY wait no j/k maybe he's not" bouncing around garbage. It was cool the first couple times, but it just keeps on happening. The suspense and surprise of these things happening has lost all meaning because they just keep doing it.

Tons of unanswered questions, extremely convenient plot occurrences... etc. This was not interesting. It seems like it was just huge bait to get people to buy Heavensward to figure out what happened.

the only thing that i still dont understand is why Merlwyb and Kan-E-Senna , fleed away ...i was ....what???????? , next time some primal comes.... hope u dont ask for help ¬¬

hope limsa and grindania does something come 3.0 to help Raubahn and uldah...

the whole Eorzea "united" went to hell ....whats going to happen with Omega weapon ? ,plus now we are on our own , no longer form part of scions or crystal braves....

tataru side story rocked btw ,the carbuncle cutscene was funny ^^

[Crevox]

Oh yeah, also, I think helping that scholar guy was the biggest waste of time and probably the worst part of the entire game's story. There was just literally no need to make us drag on doing that.

hrrmmm.....

so i'm pretty sure at least Yda is still alive. in the previous quest with her, rowena makes a comment about her "old mask" or some such. then Yda later comments that it isn't the first time she's heard this from rowena... later still her mask is shown broken.

the mask is Chekhov's gun, she is still alive, and will probably come back with a new costume. i don't think they wouldn't have pointed it out so obviously otherwise.

at least that's how i choose to interpret it

epic patch finale

Yeah I think Yda will survive, I'm not sure about the others though,
especially Y'shtola. Casting Holy as a Conjurer isn't good for your health. But then again she has used some pretty strong spells in the past so maybe she is ok.

[GoonerWolf]

I need HEAVENSWARD RIGHT. NOW.

[SPOILER] Don't forget both Merlwyb and Kan-E-Senna knew about the Sultana's desire to set Ul'dah free from the monarchy, since a private meeting they had in a previous patch. It wouldn't make sense for two nation leaders, only accompanied by a bodyguard each one, to start a fight against the whole city's army + Crystal Bearer's army.
If they are to really help the Sultana to accomplish her last wish, it's better for them to return to their city and lend us their help in a future. As far as I know, only three people knew about the Sultana's intention, let's not get them all killed.

Also, as Merlwyb stated, every nation leader's priorities are: Their own nation > Allied nation > Ishgard and the rest. They won't get killed all by themselves by boldly joining a foreign war.
