Many people love the main cast of the MCU, Supernatural and other long series that have the same main characters around for years, if not decades.
    Some people will dislike the main cast, sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for nothing but "I just don't, okay?" which is also fine because different strokes for different people but saying that people just generally hate the main cast is a poor attempt at deflecting thoughtful and reasonable critique of the main cast.
    Also, being disgusted by their impenetrable plot armor is NOT "hating the main cast".

    Using my previous example...pretty much everyone loved Ned Stark in GoT, but his death elevated the story.

    Its more , for me at least , feeling very disappointed , that they fear backlash over telling an impactful story chapter or moment . They tried with In From The Cold , they got moaned at by some vocal minority of players for daring to challenge our emotions through gameplay.



    Tell your story Business Team 3 . Regardless of some people getting upset if you kill main characters if you write it to mean something , to tell the moment , to make the world feel dangerous , risky , painful then do it , we know you like to tell a dark side to a tale as seen in moments in EW


    Its cant all be fluff and happiness , the world was dying from an age old threat , it had to be sad and had to be gloomy . As from here on out we have yet to see the rest of the world. We have a land of Mercydiua to see , heck we've barely see the lands of Eorzea and Othard for goodness sake . What's out there??? For a story to be told ,for it to hold it cant be sunshine and moonbeams where only the unpopular die.


    Dare to scare SqE the WoL needs to be a baddass/protector of the realm for its better reasons and not to continue to be the big brother/sister for the twins to grow up safely and the saviour of Shtola stealer of Archon names and the abuser of flow the only magic that seems to do anything ( her flare skills as seen in cutscenes does sod all)
