Dead characters should stay dead (spoilers?)

[Con_Carne]

With Nael reviving I meant Eula's "Nael". I think the real Nael's death is ok because that was necessary for Eula's "death" and the "birth" of Nael van Darnus. I truly love him even more than Zenos (whom I love too), and it's a shame how the villain who destroyed the world to save the game is falling into oblivion. I don't think Nael should stay dead, his goal to clean the existence with crimson light is unfinished. xD May his damaged mind found a safe place.

And yup, I say "him" just like the game. I see Eula as a woman who became a man as Nael.

The thing is... Does not hurt you when your favourite characters are 100% dead while others that are supposed to be dead too are found alive? Now wait not for Nidhogg, but for his Voidsent version (I think I read in Anemos that when a wyrm dies, a Voidsent is born).

I take back everything I said forever. Rooster!Enkidu's death in the Hildibrand questline was the most emotionally affecting flashback of the entire expansion, and for it to be cheaply undone with him waddling in out of nowhere at the end ruins everything about this game forever. How dare they undo his sacrifice. I am SO MAD.


(And, as is true in a number of my posts, not being serious in the least.)

I'm fine with the characters they brought back and think the story is better with them being back from the dead. But to each their own.

Me when seeing the sacrifice: ;_; Oh that's so touching
Me when seeing the swerve: >:C (Actually relieved but still!)

I think Nanamo's the only one I'd say is was truly poorly done. As what Moose pointed out, usually if I take a sleep aid I, you know, fall asleep. I don't go into a gagging death spasm.

Perhaps it just "went down the wrong way," with added effects.

Gagging death spasms are the best way to start a nap.

The issue with Nanamo is that what they showed us was textbook asphyxiation due to hydrogen cyanide poisoning, but then tried to pass it off as cantarella poisoning, which would look completely different.



Yoshida sent Visual Works the materials for Heavensward's opening back when 2.0 launched. By the time it became apparent that they were going to need Nanamo for their Stormblood plans, they had this big expensive cutscene showing her death already made, so they had to improvise. That, or she really did die and Heartstrike was involved, but that hasn't been touched on yet.

They kinda overdid the Zenos thing, but so far so good i guess. How many more times do we have to kill Zenos before he stays dead lol

[JeanneOrnitier]

Nanamo bothers because, well, yeah, everyone has gone over it. That was absolutely not just taking some sleeping medicine, and going back on it felt cheap after the drama of 2.55. Zenos because so far he hasn't even done anything, so it makes me question why bring him back at all. And Yotsuyu because her arc is why I'm not a fan of Stormblood's MSQ, with Square spending so much time and trying so hard to make me feel sorry for a complete monster of a person.

With Louisoix and Gaius, they don't bother me because we never actually saw them die.

Flames of truth looked a lot like death to me. As for Gaius, it could have been interpreted as collapsing from injuries. I'm kind of glad tor the unskippable cutscenes because prior to it, I'd ran Praetorium once and the details were muddled. Someone told me he was crushed inside Ultima and I'd believed them because it was literally years since I first saw it.
