    Was anyone else.....extremely disappointed with E8's setup? It felt completely contrived to me. I don't understand why Ryne getting possessed by Shiva couldn't have been an unintended side effect of our memories of Ysayle forming the summoning. Because I don't believe for a second that anyone, let alone Urianger of all people, would allow Ryne to do this. Just because she's a strong independent girl yadda yadda doesn't mean you have to let her do every little idea she gets...especially, you know, willingly letting the [Oracle of Light] succumb to a primal. That's a fantastic idea...potentially cause another Flood as we see in the fight. Her reasoning felt so vague too...she wanted to do it to guide Eden? Well she immediately failed to control Shiva anyway. So if they don't bring up this "guiding Eden" thing ever again - if it's so important as to risk the entire shard and everything we've worked for - I'm going to be extremely unimpressed. I'm fine with suspending disbelief, I was fine with us bringing the primals back from similarly vague notions, but holy hell this one completely soured that last fight for me. I just couldn't get into the emotions because it broke everything I expected of our characters.

    I know that might sound melodramatic, and I love this game to bits, but by simply making Ryne's possession unintentional it would've been far more believable. I just can't buy it at all.

    About Ryne

    I feel like this is Ryne's coming of age story with E8 as I mentioned in the Open Letter thread. We can't keep coddling over her, she's gonna become a woman sometime soon. 3D model limitations aside
