Endwalker Main Scenario Commentary & Feedback

[Iscah]

Got to the ending a few hours ago. Still processing. Just dropped in to read the last page without looking through everything yet.

Overall feeling: lots of good moments but I did not appreciate the final fight so the whole thing fell a bit flat at the end.

My other criticism is probably much more subjective, and has to do with what we see in Zone 5:

It is very obvious that almost every Ancient, except for I think Emet-Selch, uses the Elezen rigging. I was immediately dragged out of immersion when I first saw Hythlodaeus and went "by the Twelve what happened to your NECK".

Emet uses an Elezen model as well – he just has a lot of custom animations/stances and unique outfit to conceal it, so it's harder to notice without having looked up the character model data.

Elezen do move oddly but I've gotten kind of used to it by this time. Well past the "what is wrong with you" and into "Elezen animations strike again".

Thanks for the tip! There's also a "much-crumpled report page" that I don't recall having seen before, and the contents are bittersweet. More sweet than bitter, now, but I'm sure glad it wasn't there back in 2.5.

The crumpled report turned up after 5.3, from memory.
