The ending to Stormblood...

[Tanker4444]

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.

To me it feels like SE simply ran out of time and had to fall back on things happening off camera to move you from point A to B without anything needing anything be made or worked on. I liked SB well enough, but rushed over reach with jarring ends is what defines SB to me. Its like they tried to give us twice of everything they gave us in HW but didnt have the time or resources to bring it to fruition.

Why were we taken to Ishgard? If we were that badly injured.....

Where we injured? It wasnt very clear about what happenned after we got called. I got the impression that just as we blacked out Estinien shows up and spirits us away. I thought everyone had assummed we had been called like all the other scions. Again, the whole thing feels like they needed to get us from point A to point B but had to make use of the minimun amount of resources to get it done. Hence why its all so jarring and makes little sense. Beyond that, why on earth are we going along with the mysterious hooded figure? That $%&· pulled us out at a potentially fatal moment! What? he couldnt tell it was the WORST possible time to do it? His antics were potentially more successful at taking down the WoL than any number of powerful entities have been! As of this moment I categorize him more as a deadly enemy than anything like an ally needing help!

We are going along with him because for all we know he has our Scion buddies. That being said, I'd also like to slap some common sense into the guy. His sense of timing and ability to compose short and meaningful messages clearly could use some improvement...

More like holding them hostage! In classic trope fashion we have just met the xpac´s true final boss.....

Lol. Indeed. In the trailer it shows he's capable of looking through a magic window of sorts and can overlook events as they're taking place. Though in his defense, I got the impression that he was desperately been trying to call the WoL specifically as he was quite relieved when he finally got to talk to us face to face. My response was, "You got to send me back right now!" While my actual response was, "Dude! WTF man! Can't you see I'm busy atm?" All the more reason to let us in on what the hell is going on, I figure.

I hope so. The Ascians as the primary enemy work well for a while until you start figuring how to kill them. Then they just become names on a list you check off as you get to them. Zenos on the other hand, is an equal.

I hope so too. I can't help but like the guy, and rather enjoy the Batman/Joker type dynamic the two share and very much want it to continue. The whole philosophy of 'when an unstoppable force meets and immoveable object'. Zenos has been able to defeat/stay alive against the WoL because unlike the Ascians and Omega, he does not underestimate his/her strength and power and views the WoL as an equal. The WoL has shown time and time again that he/she isn't playing around, and if you come in the battlefield thinking he/she is inferior, you're going to lose.
