[Massive spoilers - do not read until storyline complete] I hate the ending

Nanamo could have just respawned at an Aetheryte. If you want to blame anyone, blame Nanamo for AFK-ing on the floor at such a crucial moment.

You can hardly blame her. The healer left the party and didn't start casting the res spell until literally months later!

Honestly, I wonder if it's Nanamo she's trying to revive. I think it is, otherwise Raubahn wouldn't seem to calm to see Lolorito, but it could be anyone. Heck I've even seen some people suggesting that KES talking about the WoL and KES is trying restore our connection to Hydaelyn (Which seems like a horrid idea to me imho)

But the armory system doesn't allow us to remove our weapons. Maybe they could have forced me to hold a frying pan, but then I would have been in an apron and chef hat, not full tank gear.

lol, oh I got a decent chuckle out of that one. I can picture that in my head.

Adaledji: Take his wepons!!

Pfft, have you gone through the Hildibrand questline?! CUL is OP silly! Now maybe if they made us change to Alchemist.. I think we might be screwed then!

But not all us Culinarians are as God Like as Mama Manderville. And she seems to be skilled in Alchemy too.

Proves that Mama Manderville knows how to Bring the Pain and Take it Away.

Remember the frying pan in FFIV all cul's are OP!

I found the fact we didn't just teleport away to escape odder. I mean, being able to attune to aetheryte is a large plot point in the game. You would think all the scions would've just *blipped* out of Ul'dah as soon as they were "out of combat". There's no in-game lore explanation for not being able to teleport or for aetheryte being "shut-off" that I recall. Even if they could shut-off Ul'dah's somehow, the scions wouldn't be porting to that one anyway.

Not fighting people that arrest you is relatively understandable, but watching someone die as an all-powerful healer makes us look evil or daft as well.

Healers can awaken the unconscious or cure wounds but we cannot raise the dead.

I just replied to a thread like this on reddit.

I'll just quote those for this one.

Especially since shit really hit the fan when Raubahn killed the one we thought was behind everything, Teledji.

We couldn't rightly just go after Lolorito afterwards, just because he looks devious.

We got blindsided, and Ul'dah is too corrupt. Slaughtering all the guards and trying to purge the top wouldn't really be the right answer.

Also we've got more people on our side after that event, precisely because we didn't bathe Ul'dah in its own blood.

We actually aren't nearly as strong after losing the blessing of light. Yoshida even gave that as a reason why the mobs in Heavensward are harder to kill (though it was a bit of a joke). Storywise though, we're not what we were when we killed any of the primals.

Still, we might've taken them, but I think it's implied it wasn't a "couple" of them. The city was full of them (this was stated), they were just a lot more on the way that were catching up to us.

Regardless, even if we could beat them. Then what? We take the city? We kill all the evil lalafells and give Ul'dah back to the poor? The city where even the poor have their own hierarchy and power struggles. It's really not that simple.
Running the city red until no one is left that doubts us wasn't the answer.

And there would probably be casualties if we started a personal war on Ul'dah governance.

She started out alive, we watch her die. So, we have time to intervene before she's a corpse. We do it in combat all the time; intervene BEFORE someone collapses.
