Who knew the 6.15 Omega Quests… (Spoilers)

[SentioftheHoukai]

Full disclosure, I find it interesting that people assign lore dumps to be “propaganda,” implying there’s some unvarnished truth being suppressed or ignored by the biased writers. There’s certainly examples of propaganda being used by in game actors who the writers intend to be untrustworthy, but to accuse the writers themselves of it is a bit like hearing a prophecy from the Fates and going “no way nerds you’re just lying.“

Full disclosure, you might not remember Greek mythology too well for the Fates were kinda tyrants themselves. They didn't spout prophecy so much as that they had the power to reinforce reality so as to ensure it follows the path they decided was best. You don't give people the ability to quite literally decide who dies and when up to and including the very gods and expect them NOT to abuse it.

I'm not really sure I'd call anything in the Omega quests "propaganda" personally, especially with how the Watcher states that while he's satisfied with how things resolved, you shouldn't consider your own thoughts on the matter to be without merit.

It felt more like they were trying to encourage viewing things from a broader perspective then a simple matter of right/wrong...though I can't say I felt as though the Endwalker MSQ proper really spun things that way.

I call it propaganda, because they tried to inject "nuance" into the quests only to end by reinforcing the perspective they'd prefer you leave with. Just like they did in Endwalker, frankly just more of the same.

See my above part to address the first part of this. As for the second portion, shame on you Lyth. Way to devalue people and dismiss their opinions with your usual wild assumptions. I know the person of which you speak as personally as one can know someone on the internet (that is to say, I interact with them more..... personally than they'd ever deign to entertain you with) and I know for a FACT that they are not, in fact alts of the same person. Despite them, and I quote, "Now sharing the same face". Isn't that rather unavoidable when you play an MMO with 4 face options per race/gender combo? Honestly.
