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

Things got...weird in here since I last looked. But yeah, let's not try to inject real world politics into this whole situation

Just because some members of the localization team have extremely hot takes against the people who didn't like certain elements of EW's story doesn't mean there's some conspiracy going on.

This. Only daily dead horse beatings allowed please lol.

Aaaaaaaaaaanyways, drama aside, that one tweet doesn't even make sense. Venat's plan necessitated the Ascians play their part in orchestrating the 7 rejoining's in order for our history to exist. A far better comparison would be someone declaring themselves group leader and deciding everyone else's roles on their behalf... and then declaring she did all the work on her own like her codex entry suggests.

Not to mention a certain dark god symbol of hope and salvation carrying the whole world on his beefy winged back for 12k years. More than that, considering the time between his summoning and the shattering.

Ah, man. I just linked this thread to someone on Reddit who felt like an outsider for not liking EW. Let's just get back to that, shall we?

Speaking of which, there's a thread on r/ffxivdiscussion about which character do you hate that everyone loves if anyone is interested. :P

Actually agree with almost a whole reddit thread for once, what is this.

Well, G'raha is just a full on fan service character now. Shallow is the word(dare i say... annoying also?). Same applies to Emet in EW. It feels like when SE catches on that a character is widely liked, they flip a "fan service" switch and that's all the character is for from then on.

Especially this... I'm actually getting some cold feet for Emet at this point, especially with 5.3, the bit at the end of UT, and the numerous flashbacks in 6.1 (yeah, I know, we're just doing his ADVENTURE grocery list). I enjoyed him in ShB and did like seeing his OG form in EW, but I'd say I am overall more of a general Ancient/Ascian fan than 'all Emet all the time'. I do really wish things revolved less around our protagonist being this god that everyone must fawn over... as aptly symbolized by Azem being the sun that everything revolves around. I reiterate: I liked the Azem thing at first, but now I think it's a mistake.

I made this entire race and its hopes go extinct, but at least I got this convenient orange gummi plot device!
