Foresight for 5.5 - Character Death

[Alleo]

Yes, makes a perfect setup to another ARR like restart. The warrior of light already got "restarted" story wise from 1.0 to 2.0. By the end of 6.0 we'd be level 90 and it would be the perfect setup for a reset back to 50.

That might work in a single player game but how would it work in a MMO? Are people forced to level everything up again just do do old content? Would we be forced to change our character appearance after all the old one is death? Does our character just forgets everything thus giving us the need to relearn about every other important character? How would they deal with events and stuff like that? I doubt that this would be great for most of the players or the game.

I think what we should do, since 6.0 is a self contained wrap up story, is ki8ll all the scions off in the last act of 6.0 and introduce new characters for 7.0. It won't happen, it would make a lot of people mad, but it would be really cool. Like a red wedding. I just want a graphic red wedding in this game.

I can see it happening to Lyse, Hien, or Yugiri. My money is on Yugiri as she may take a "bullet" for Hien out of loyalty. Same goes for the Garlean woman in Ishgard for Aymeric.

Also thought about Sadu and Little sun, though there is one guy who keeps coming back from the brink of death.

Gosetsu.

As if I can recall, he left for a pilgrimage of peace without his blade. A likeable uncle figure, not sure even he is aware that Zenos is alive and killing.

I think that would make SE executives sweat at the thought of how it would affect subscription numbers. Because ''a lot of people mad'' is not good for business. But then, that is why you yourself acknowledge it won't happen.

Careful, don't cut yourself on all that edge.

Zenos should kill all the Scions then become our best friend.

[Kikoten]

The Warrior of Light is going to die, for two seconds, maybe four seconds, maybe for a scenario that we have to play through. Then the WoL is going to miraculously come back, because we're a godsdamned god.

He already is our best friend. He can prove it by offing Lyse.

Eh, it's not a particularly edgy comment. They're just pixels on a screen at the end of the day.
