They chose to make him tied to holding the final days and Meteion back, and instead of him being controlled to undo that, they instead just killed him off, and then 10 minutes later we’re having dress up time with the rabbits. They have given Hydaelyn and Venat the spotlight numerous times, Venat even getting her own story arc in Elpis, yet Elidibus and Zodiark get completely shafted with little more than 10 minute cameos. So much for the Hydaelyn AND Zodiark arc. Seems more like the Hydaelyn and Meteion arc lmao. As for the pacing, i will argue to the death that Endwalker’s pacing is the worst we’ve ever seen. Especially when there’s a literal apocalypse going on and they choose to have us have lunch with the scions at the time. The amount of eating with scions scenes in general is….cringy to say the least. Honestly i didn’t notice much development for most of the scions. Yshtola did hardly anything the entire expansion, Urianger overcame his grief for moenbryda i guess? The twins got some garlean insight and made up with their dad which everyone saw coming. Thancred….don’t really know what he got development wise honestly. Same with Krile and i still don’t understand why tataru is on the expansion poster.
