I felt like the storyline didn't end so much as just....stop. I think it would've had more impact if the Scions' incapacitation had been held until later, to set up the big mystery. Instead, we go through Ghimlyt Dark 2: Doman Boogaloo, a dragoon ex machina, and an obvious setup for a fetch quest....and that's it. Come back in a few months. Nitpicking follows.


Why was Hien, the head of a nation, on the front lines, when according to Raubahn there hadn't been any major action since the first attack? I could buy Yugiri leading a scouting party, but it makes little sense for Hien to be out there.

Estinien's cameo makes no real sense. There's been no indication that he was anywhere nearby, or that he's kept tabs on us since the Royal Menagerie (depending on when/if one does the level 70 dragoon quest), and he doesn't really do anything. It's like they just wanted to remind us that he's still alive. If someone really had to run in to save us, they'd already set up Raubahn saying he might have to take the field....

Why were we taken to Ishgard? If we were that badly injured, then logically we would've been treated at the Resistance base camp. Not to mention, getting to Ishgard from there would require passing through Ala Mhigo, then Gridania (home of the Conjurers' Guild, no less), then within spitting distance of Revenant's Toll. I can understand not stopping in Ala Mhigo, since if the front line there falls, the city's next, but carrying a seriously wounded person farther than necessary is generally a bad idea.

On a less nitpicky note, why were we not allowed to hug Tataru when she broke down crying? Our favorite little potato needs a hug, damnit!
