I will happily continue to beat that horse with you. :P Like PawPaw mentioned earlier, I hadn't considered that Venat had no concern for the souls trapped within Zodiark either but, then again, she's shown a general lack of concern for souls in general so maybe it's just consistent. -_-

She's still the #1 reason I didn't like EW closely tied with the time loop where, screw you, you don't get to change anything after an expansion that introduced an AU.

The only reason I'm upset about the loss of a Garlemald expansion is it would imply we would've gotten an expansion dedicated to the Ancients, so in that way I feel robbed. The Ancients are the foundation of the game's lore, so having to share the stage with Garlemald, Thavnair, and the ridiculousness that is Sharlayan filler was irritating. It also felt like the moon was either cut short or they had no idea what to do with it so purposely kept it brief.

I was thinking about the intros to the other expansions. HW, we've been exiled and have to seek refuge within the historically closed to the public Ishgard, where we must rely on ties formed with Haurchefant and Aymeric. I also liked that we had to prove our worthiness to be there even if that was short-lived. ShB, we've been teleported to a random location in an unfamiliar purple forest, the sky is blazing, the first person we come in contact with tells us they haven't had a night sky in a century. This time we don't have any Scion in tow, we're all alone and wondering WTF is going on and it was *chef's kiss*.

EW? Here, let's go on an hour long tour of Sharlayan where if you're not interested in a detailed explanation of the purpose of every building in the city you're going to have a bad time.
