What is your biggest wish for endwalker that you know probably won't happen?

To be fair, I preferred the seriousness of ARR (I'm replaying it atm). People get killed and you feel some tension. NPCs get put to the sword the second the get tempered for instance. It's quite brutal when you think about it. And in ShB all beastmen are now in the Best Friends Club. I was really disappointed by that.

On the other hand I find wanting a story to be 100% gritty kinda too edgy, sorry. These characters (the good ones anyway) are modeled after human behaviour. No human is 100% serious or sad all the time. Otherwise it's probably a depression.

And writing a always dark and depressing story just tires out readers. Also, you need moments of high to put the low moments into context. If you write a story where nobody is in danger or everyone dies you just stop caring.

I agree with the Y'shtola thing to 100%, though.
I mean, Jesus fucking Christ. I like her but can we please stop with the fake death scenes so we can put them into a teaser trailer?

Lastly, everyone who dislikes G'raha is just a big emotionless meanie. ; ;

The thing is, again, no ones asking for everyone to die. We’re asking for consequences. Please tell me how it makes sense that the expansion with the highest stakes so far and what’s supposed to be the darkest story yet is the only expansion where no one dies, there’s no consequences for the protags, and the one filled with the most humor.If we know everything is just going to keep going our way, it just makes the story utterly dull. I’m not playing this game so i can watch some slice of life anime. I’m playing it because it’s a final fantasy game with a final fantasy story. Every single other ff game in the series has had the protagonists lose in some way or have some form of consequences. Some of them have even had the antagonists win. I can’t help but think it’s partially due to the community. People just can’t seem to bear the thought of their favorite character kicking the bucket and so they spam things on the likes of here or twitter or reddit and SE would think it’s bad for business to kill them off. The main reason i can’t stand graha is just the amount of plot armor he has tied to him rivaling that of Yshtola. And also the fact he was a big part of 5.3 which was by far my least favorite patch. I don’t even regard his 5.4+ character as himself really because it just feels like someone’s forced in OC lmao.
