Dedicated Thread for Patch 2.55 Story Discussion/Spoilers

[Aeyis]

Reading through the responses I'd say no, but literally nobody who said plothole in this thread ellaborated on what were the holes. Can you be the first to do so? Please?

The plotholes are pretty obvious. Also quite a few have been mentioned already, have you read all the replies in here?

You are one of the few people in here that doesnt actually bother to use spoiler tags to cover important facts. I think that says enough about your opinion on plotholes.
But since im weak to a fault when it comes to trolling, ill bite.

I think it's extremely likely that all the Scions are alive since we didn't actually see them die. So no, them "coming back" wouldn't make FFXIV a comic book.

Dont particular care for them dying myself. The plotholes here is that all of them died when they really shouldnt have.
Portculis could have been dropped from the other side. Overdrives could have been used in a none self-destructive way.
Who ever heard of someone in the history of gaming using a holy when they werent immune to its effects themselves?
= scion plotholes.
Ah yes and one more: Hydaelyn suddenly talking to Minfilia. Hydaelyn tends to warn people beforehand, not afterwards.

Nanamo is a different issue since we actually see her die and her death scene was certainly a lot more emotional than the "death scenes" of the Scions. But it's certainly not outside of the realm of possibility that Nanamo was poisoned with a drug that only made her seem dead. If true though, I don't think she was in on the plan.

The plotholes here are: you track down one of your favored Crystal Braves, yet easily believe the words of a suspected Brave who just happened to be there. You just happen to get a personal invite from the Sultana. Odd, considering she should have expected you to be at the feast. Actually, she should have been there herself.
Also your character just sits there passively as she 'dies'.

When the brass blades etc come, it makes no sense to just come with them. Weve had betrayals, we fought the empire and what not. We can see where this is going, and with his timing he was likely responsible for all of it.
What, you say we had no weapon? Plothole. Why on earth would I not have my weapon with me. All the other leaders had their weapons at the feast.
Besides, you might recall Yshtola using holy without using her wand. Im sure that as an actual white mage instead of a conjurer (which is Yshtolas class, when did she learn holy exactly?I guess they made her a white mage suddenly, ah another plothole) I could have done the same.

I imagine we both know that people make up plotholes to justify why they consider a story bad. Some people have never heard of suspension of disbelief.

No theres actually a lot of plotholes here. Suspension of disbelief doesnt work if its too hard to believe based on what the story gives you to work with.

I still remember someone telling me that FFVII was riddled with plotholes including the player never knowing who Cloud's dad is.

Kind of a hyperbole example.
