Lore Forum Decorum - Just What is Meant by Good/Bad Faith?

[KariTheFox]

Characters don't have to die in order to step aside and make room for new faces. Krile didn't have much screen time in Shadowbringers, we didn't see much of Cid in Endwalker, Lyse hasn't been around much since Stormblood. At no point was it necessary for any of them to die in order for them to step back in the narrative and allow new faces to get involved. (Which Endbringer had plenty of.)

Edit: Also, it's entirely subjective whether or not major character deaths help the stakes feel more meaningful. Personally, I would prefer that they do not die so that more stories can be told about characters that I like.
