That is, in fact, what the devs are paid to do.

Or are you one of those weird people that rolls into a restaurant asking the server "KICK ME IN THE JIMMY!"

You do you.

The devs aren’t paid to appease anyone’s ego. They’re paid to create a good story. Good stories again as seen with past ff’s aka very successful games, have consequences and death. Look at ff7. Their most successful game if i recall, and it’s very iconic death.
