    That's all.. like.. explained in the dialogue? There's no inconsistency. You can't /tell/ someone they've done something before they do it or they aren't going to do it the way that they did it to begin with.
    Wanting some big threats and to AT THE VERY LEAST SHOW THE ENTIRE WORLD burning during the final day isn't about filler.

    This expansion was based around the end of the days..

    THERE WAS NO END OF DAYS THREAT EXPECT 1 HOUR WORTH that is beyond rushed

    AMON/FANDANIL did almost nothing at all story related expect throw himself into zodiarks tummy

    and zenos DID PURELY NOTHIng EXPECT CRY in a cornor and go help you with a fight scene that just made it game over for him

    filler is fine when it makes sense for the overall theme also I have no issue with filler but throwing in stupid jokes when the world is ending to waste time and doing nothing (not even filler) related with the final days or you know THE OTHER ZIGGERUTS ACROSS THE WORLD! IS JUST BAD

    I absolutely love the red herring of the towers. I was certain we were going to go from zone to zone, blowing up towers, as a retread of Lightwardens and Stormblood regions. That they did *not* do that is an excellent change of pace, and a perfect play on our expectations after the 5.4 and 5.5 storyline.

    They subverted those expectations again with the Elpis color scenes, too.

    End of the world is a pretty big threat, dude, and perhaps you didn't think of this, but if the entire world had started to burn, that would have been it. No way back, no way to save it. Game Over.

    was it no major character died during the scene, nothing destoryed and even what was was so limited to a single zone. There was no sense that it was a threat other than if people cry are scream or feel angery they turn into voidsent (Which was hardly any where IN THE ENTIRE GAME) they weren't even in the ultima thul lol so honestly it wasn't

    It was a huge joke lol


    and even their letter from the producer basically LIED when they said a price had to be paid EVERYONE IS STILL PERFECTLY FINE LOL

    Legitly the only deaths was amon being thrown into zodiarks tummy and zenos going all emo fight with us.. .everyone and everything else was perfectly safe...

    and to frank we shouldn't have been able to save it as quickly as we did

    Just because the Scions didnt have any loses doesnt mean the overall world of Eorzea didnt, the fact you only think of the main cast and not the OVERALL world is not ideal IMO[thavnair and garlemald didnt look safe to me, but maybe we played different versions of the game]

    Also Amaurot was the LAST place the Final Days reached in the past, it didnt spread at the same time everywhere, why would it on Etheirys now? Meteion didnt grow stronger or something over the years, she just kept singing.
    Which leads to why we fought Zodiark early, as Fandaniel said he didnt care if he used Zodiark or if Zenos did as long as either of them died while possessing him. We knew Zodiark was creatted to defend the world against something, in ShB we didnt know what. We learn he acted as a shield against Meteion, so to me atleast it makes sense he had to die early, plus the rejoinings werent complete so he was incomplete regardless and we knew that btw, he was never going to be as strong as ppl hyped him up to be.

    Didn't the supposed "End of the World" only happen in Thavnair too? And for like 3 cutscenes and a dungeon, no less? And only random NPCs we never met before and/or had any sort of interaction with die so we had very little reason to have our feelings truly crushed? And quite a few of the Scions were popping off jokes which defeated the entire sense of urgency?
