Looking back at this Yoshi P statement(story spoilers)

[linayar]

Meanwhile the expansion is consistently pushing the theme of dealing with loss,suffering,sacrifice yet none of the main cast actually experienced that this expansion lmao. The devs need to practice what they preach.

A theme of loss, suffering, and sacrifice does not have to be personal and can be experienced empathetically.

Ok, that's great and all. But, did anybody really think that any of the scions were going to die at the end of EW?

I don't think that's relevant, and in fact, I personally don't think of either consequence. Predicting a character's death is not something I tend to do when I'm going through a story.
