And then there's thousands more where the heroes discover everything was being manipulated by some villain who gets introduced in a cutscene right before you kill them at the end of the game.

The Japanese have a different culture than the audience of this board, their stories don't always follow the standard western novel narrative. It's actually why I like many JRPG's because it's something different. Not everything needs to be foreshadowed or perfectly explained but I guess Reddit addicts have come to expect that via Hollywood and the MCU.

Funny it's made it to 93 pages lmao.
I’ve played every final fantasy game barring 11. If we really want to go down the “14 is like the other ff’s” then shall i bring up how the past ff games have actually had consequences for the protagonists and killed off their characters? If you read some of these posts you’d see that while people do take issue with meteion or what have you, there’s much more being said about the actual themes, how they’re contradicted numerous times, and(in peoples opinion) the overall poor writing for this end of a 10 year long arc.
