Both of your perspectives are valid, which is part of why I’m worried because I can see and understand them… all while hoping the devs continue to respect said aforementioned social compact: “you keep me in mostly happy feels, I keep paying you.”
It’s an rpg with dark themes. We’re not playing a slice of life anime, there’s other games for that. Literally every single final fantasy game has had death and consequences for the protags.I don’t know why some people think 14 should be any different. The playerbase needs to remember that these characters are just pixels in the end. If youre having “trauma” from a fictional character dying….i think that needs to be looked at.
