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

[KizuyaKatogami]

Not only do we have no idea how this distance weakness works while we're in...whatever space anomaly we fight Emet-Selch in, but while in Kholusia, Gr'aha was about to cast a spell to absorb all of the excess light off the WOL and yeet himself to an entirely different dimension. Considering that his entire plan was based on a web of lies, and this moment was the entire crux of said plan, then either A) Gr'aha didn't tell us the whole truth, B) he made sure he saved enough energy no matter what to be able to employ his masterstroke or C) both.



What "excuse"? Gr'aha was in danger and got away instead of fighting a battle he couldn't win. And then, Eldibus got what he needed anyway.



And? Are we supposed to call every story that goes through revisions where characters do or don't meet certain fates bad writing now? The first Rambo movie was supposed to end with him dying until audiences disliked it, so I guess it's just an objectively bad movie now.

When they contradict their own themes to do so and can’t even show on screen the big issue of consent? Yes, it’s bad. It’s no different than what they did in UT. Elidibus had again, NUMEROUS CHANCES to kill Graha, he chose not to because of idiotic writing. Like, come on now one of the biggest complaints of both ShB and EW is the lack of consequences for the main cast.

You and Theodric have this weird thing about claiming Gr'aha liking you being a "consent" issue, when it isn't. Gr'aha isn't doing anything but asking to go adventures with the player, and this isn't the type of game where you get to pick and choose your party. If he got replaced with Aymeric or something, it's not like the game will ask you if you want to tell Elf Knight to take a hike.

Dude. Gr'aha was NOT his target. What are you talking about?

You might as well be complaining that Elidibus had several chances to kill Chai-Nuzz and never bothered. You're welcome to your opinion, but I don't see how Elidibus never becoming a Gr'aha-killing Terminator is at all relevant or valid.
