Best thing from Zadnor

Too bad the ending and what is from the field notes ruined its entire story. So many interesting characters and ideas -- just wasted.

I would disagree. I thought the ending was pretty solid.

I'm sure they're just saving them for later.

They why say the main guy is dead and everyone is now basically just AWOL? That makes zero sense when you could have had them as a side conflict since they werent going to be part of the main enemy in EW.

If you didn't notice (looking like you didn't tbh) they appear to be setting up a future storyline. The Bozja conflict is over, but I'm guessing they are going to continue the overall Ivalice story elsewhere, maybe Dalmasca or somewhere else. We have yet to deal with Gabranth. Could be the next relic story as well. We will see.

So why do they randomly add in that Noah is dead in the Field Notes that we get at the end of the storyline? Its kind of weird to say they are setting up a future storyline when in the side lore they go "Lol he dead".

Even if we want to buy into the "ghost of Gabranth" thing -- it makes zero sense for the writing team to add in a cinematic for a cliffhanger with Dalmasca -- then write Field Notes stories which wrap up everything and close all the loose end associated with it -- then decide to swerve back to "Gabranth is alive" after making him a very sickly man without anything anymore. Its nonsensical. Why bother writing the Field Notes like that at all if you plan on continuing the story? Its not a subversion of expectations nor good storytelling.

We already know with the last cutscene that there would be more, so why write a conclusion to it if its not true?

You didn't read the field notes fully, did you? They mentioned they found his corpse in his armor, his face burned so they couldn't identify him...but even if they could, very few people have actually seen his face without his helmet. Meaning the man obviously faked his own death.

Again: I will repeat the same question I asked.

Going "he will still be a threat" to "no hes dead" to "no hes actually may be alive" with zero build up is mindbogglingly bad.
