XIV's story is still ongoing, even if the first saga is complete. And I think the death count for the first saga is pretty good already. To compare it to already finished products and stories that don't need to think about '' oh damn wish we could use this character again but we can't because we offed them '' or '' will the fans of this characters stop enjoying and subscribing to our product if we off them now '' is pretty wack to me. Yeah yeah, artistic integrity or whatnot, but that goes both ways: if the writers don't want to kill anyone right now, then that is their freedom to do so yuh.
