The Worst Part of Endwalker

[Darkpaw]

So just out of curiosity OP is this your first final fantasy game? Cause at this point this is a well known trope of the franchise.

I came into this expansion expecting Zodiark to not be the final boss. All that hype around him at least to me screamed misdirection. Especially when you think of the Shadowbringers reveal that he and Hydaelyn both are primals. There was no way we were going to face a primal for final boss, we’ve demolished so many of them already it would have been a let down for the final boss of the expansion to be a primal, let alone one that didnt have it’s full power and lost it’s original heart

I agree with your first point. I literally said WTF when Zodiark was revealed and so bland to fight.

The worst part of the story to me was the bizarre insistence that genocide is acceptable and necessary so long as it benefits the protagonists directly.

Exactly this. The way the stuff on the moon was handled (including Zodiark), the post-Elpis pity-me cutscene that failed to properly depict the Sundering (instead left to some Nier crossover), the extremely caricatured alien words, bizarre messaging and the apologetics for her that had characters bending over backwards and leaking out their brains to justify what she did that then necessitated a Q&A for clarification and remedial quest via Omega? Plus the exceedingly lame end boss? I could do without all that.

No worries bro. There's a giant thread about this very topic. https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...y-in-Endwalker

You should brace yourself if you're gonna go there though.

Thanks for advertising - and I am sure the OP will feel quite welcome.

No it's not, you clearly weren't around during Stormblood.

The Lyse and Zenos hate was real, Yotsuyu was polarizing and Fordola was just a mess.

This is tame. Like, real tame.

Mch and warrior outrage, the complaints of SE cashing in on nostalgia with the omega raids, raubahn savage, aether current taxi outrage, the rage at the choice to split the ala mhigo storyline half way through, the yshtola death fake out… ahhh good times

Sorry but you don't understand...

We didn't fight Zodiark, only a part It's obvious that the true form of Zodiark will appear soon in a next extension, don't forget that he is stronger than the karen of the apocalypse, one day we will visit the others reflections, in the darkness the answer will be found but it is necessary to reflect for that.

They are done with Hydaelyn and Zodiark arc. I guess it could change but they said we're moving on and that was how they decided to end it all.

Do you mean that the main quests will only be secondary quests? I'm sorry but in fact we visited the depths of the universe filled with dead worlds there is nothing but the other reflections if it's over for Zodiark then who will be the new bad guy? we beat the karen of the apocalypse I can't see any stronger than that if it's not Zodiark suddenly where is the interest I hope you're wrong or that they will change their minds
