It stops being criticism when personal attacks get involved because person A doesn't like that person B likes what person A doesn't and vice versa. If I was ever that person, I apologize.

Because fandom and again people living in XIV. They can't bear to see their favorite characters die off for any reason even when their stories are completed. Also I've only played III, IV, V, VI, XV, and two Crystal Chronicles. I've touched VII, XII, and XIV is ongoing. I don't know who these antagonists are and not going to say which ones I think because spoilers for old games that were remastered recently.

Unfortunately the majority disagrees. Some creators just won't allow their characters to die no matter how hard it ruins the story. While others do it because lol then build the story around or off of that. But the fakeouts absolutely have to stop, though I strongly doubt they will. I didn't mind the fluff, least of all that delicious looking burger. But I still wanted some bad to go with the good that actually lasted. They looked like they were having a last meal.

By the way when I say lives in XIV, I'm referring to the people who sent death threats to the devs. There's other aspects of it but that's the big one that removes all doubt.
