It was just kind of one of those "but...wait, what?" moments like the warring Au Ra tribes all being within a 5-minutes' walk of each other or Doma being shown as only one village large (just due to the borders drawn on the map, more so than the limited playable area).

I just figured, y'know, we'd have a FF7 throwback with a long trolley path, such that it would be untenable to cross the narrow, valley-bridging trolley path without being pushed to high speeds by the Talos for fear of, say, the birds knocking you off to your death below. Anything that would make the Talos relevant beyond 10 meters before the gate.

Altogether, I liked the character development that happened there at therefore that section of the plot. I even slightly cared about Magnus (though, mostly just Thancred). It just... it was doing so well and then it had to drop the feasibility/payoff ball there of all places? It just felt so weird to me.
