Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXVII Lore Discussion

I'm saying it because seeing all our "beloved" Scion's get killed in a big old scene only for them to be crapped back out takes any scene involving death and so on have zero urgency or impact.

Nanamo, Thancred, Y'shtola, Papalymo, Yda, Minfilia... all apparently done over... big drama etc... oh, nope! The only folk that do die are those who were only made to die, Moenbryda for example, who, might I add is more deserving to come back than that useless little crumpet.

I'm also not demanding anything, I just find it meh that they can't stick to their guns at all when it came to killing off anyone in that scene.

Edit: It also isn't about dark, edgy wow things either, it's them not sticking to things they do, the first time in the whole game we deal with our bestest friends for everest being done over and all of them just come back. Moenbryda, Haurchefant, Ysayle, Louisoix... all fair game, dead, gone etc. But from the way they've handled the Scion scene, why should I not think that any of them will come back, or any other person who dies will just come back, why would I care if they make some scene about some guy dying if deep down I don't know if I believe it's going to stick?
