Disappointed in one Endwalker Aspect [SPOILERS]

[Kordarion]

Not just a video game, a massively multiplayer video game. A linear narrative RPG might be able to get away with making huge parts of the game inaccessible. But... could you imagine if everyone above level 87 just vanished from the main game world?

It's the same reason that before Endwalker had even released that I knew the Scions were never going to be killed off, they are a necessary part of the trust system. The same thing occured to me when we told Venat, Emet-Selch and Hythlodaeus about the future, that we couldn't change the past or we would make parts of the game permanently unavailable. In both cases, the scions dying and stopping the first final days, there are overriding gameplay reasons as to why such things could never have happened in the story.
