What happened to SB (story)?

[Kikoten]

Damn. Some people are difficult to please. Then again, so am I, in certain... areas... I didn't wanna do this, but I need to rant a little bit, too.

The after-credit scene. I like Gosetsu. Yotsuyu had my pity, but she made her choice, and paid for it. Gosetsu lived the life of a samurai, and his duty was complete... OR WAS IT?! This is a problem I had when watching a certain anime show called "Bleach". When they made a character look like they were dead--like, they should have been dead--that character came back A-OK ten minutes later.

SE... please, for the love of God, don't drop death flags for characters you don't intend to kill off. Not only is it a major pet peeve of mine, it makes me think that, now, whenever I see someone take enough damage to, you know, KILL THEM, they're just going to turn up A-OK later on.

*sigh*

EDIT: At this risk of sounding like a know-it-all jerk, "worry" is a staple in effective storytelling. The players want to "worry" about their favorite characters. You guys really pulled this off at the end of ARR, with the Bloody Banquet. Imagine if you REALLY KILLED THE SULTANA. Seriously, imagine it for a second, SE. If the Sultana seriously died in that scene, that'd have made the HW story, and even the SB story, more interesting.

Unless that's not the kind of story you're looking to tell?

Folks keep complaining that the Ruby Sea is too small. Guys. pls.
It's only a sea. It's not an ocean.


No minimum size mentioned there.

And here is a real life sea:


That's the Dead Sea. It's only about 11 miles across at its widest point.

The Ruby sea area is much, much bigger than the sea you have referenced.

That's exactly my point?

It's not like every other area in the game is accurate to the size referenced in that map anyway.
Look at the Azim Steppe and Yanxia, compared to Gyr Abania, both are bigger than Gyr Abania in the map but in-game Gyr Abania has 3 zones while the Steppe and Yanxia only have one each.

Yugiri made it clear the you only visit a small part of the Azim Steppes, which extends well beyond the map borders.

If it was a small part of the steppe then they shouldn't have outright called it "The Azim Steppe" and made it clear that it's just a part of it in the name of the zone like what they did with Eorzean zones. Same for Yanxia if it's also apparently just a fraction of the region.

Think they did that just to indicate we arent going to be seeing more of Yangxia and the steppe. Imagine if we had gotten Eastern Steppes and never got any other counterpart.

Don't depress me like that.

We were stuck with Central Highlands for a while in Coerthas.

because they always planned to add another part (unlike the Steppes).
