What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

Ive found myself thinking about this Yoshi p quote from back in ShB.

“We don’t like adlib in terms of like, ‘Oh, this character is going to go or this character is going to die.’ It’s not random, either. At the same time, yes, people might notice that those in the core cast may not have died over the course of the story,” he explains. Since Final Fantasy XIV constantly depicts wars, conflicts, and battles, he says it’s “unrealistic to not have any sort of sacrifices even on the ally side. So I mean, I don’t mean to scare you… this is not, by any means a threat of any sort, but don’t get too comfortable knowing that, ‘Oh, these characters are safe’ because you might be in for quite a shock.”

Nice to see this was just yet another lie by him and nothing ever came from this whatsoever.Wonder if this is just more proof of some last minute changes.

Oh wow, I remember this! This quote had me fretting that we'd lose half the Scions in EW at the bare minimum, maybe some Alliance leaders to boot. We all saw how true that turned out to be .

Wonder which C-tier NPCs they'll kill off in the first couple of new packs so that they can then trot them out for the rest of the decade whenever a sad moment of remembering our sorrows is needed. Surely Haurchefant has earned his rest now. My guy and his headstone have gotten more screentime and line drops than Hoary Boulder despite being dead for 3 EPs.
