But he didn't actually die!

And you KNEW he didn't actually die because the Scions just brushed it off like it was nothing!

SE has some good writers, but man they are clueless when it comes to dramatic tension or character deaths. I think Haurchefant was the last character I was actually worried about, and his death STILL took me by surprise. What happened to the people who wrote Heavensward? Are they safe?

Basically, if they're going to do something like that in the future, either go all in, or don't go at all. I'm tired of being baited by the idea of never having to listen to Alphinaud again, only for him to be macguffined back into existence.

HW writer is still busy with 16. Since Yoshida claimed 16 is already done and only need polish, I hope the writer will come back to 14 for future patches. As much as I appreciate Ishikawa, idk if I want more of her style of writing. Or maybe have matsuno as the writer lol (yeah i know it's next to impossible).
