    I wonder if they toned down the "end of the world" storyline. Probably also due to quarterly earnings and the second wind FFXIV has had lately! It felt like from Zone 5 onward that the pandemic and second wind changed things. And I think it may have added to the harsh reality of Zone 3. The characters were all so believable.
    (I know this has probably nothing to do with the pandemic but
    the fact that the inhabitants of the last zone are called Omicron (I know the variant is too new to have affected EW), that one of the mobs is called Delta (yes, I know, there's also alpha, beta and chi) and that one of the enemies literally looks like the stereotypical depiction of the covid virus felt kinda surreal. xD )

    The Omicrons are in the game since Omega was first mentioned (in ARR), even the omega DRG sets are named Omicron.
