The feeling of beeing Home ...

Yes people died, but were any really that central to the plot or team? I barely remember, but here we are still talking about Harchefant and Monbryda. We are even still dealing with them even in 6.0, going so far as having a major moment of reconciliation with her parents in 6.0.

Can’t say the same about really anyone in 3/4.0

Who weren't very important to the central plot either. Granted she gave us the method we'd use to kill the ascians but that's it and the other was just a guy we did a favor for and he likes us for that. He doesn't appear all that much and he dies suddenly, which is why it was impactful.

Not sure we're playing the same game; Haurch was THE guy that sheltered us in his fort outside Ishgard when we were in exile, and THE guy who got us into the city/his household. The events of 3.0 would not have happened as they did without him. He was not necessarily holding our hands, but to say he did nothing for us is incredibly disingenuous.

Moenbryda gave us THE means to kill Ascians. That's huge. It's like saying "Oh Newton just gave us Calculus, it's not like he actually did anything for us".

And, again, here we are in 6.0, STILL talking about them. They made an appearance in the 89 dungeon as spirits guiding us, alongside other notable NPCs. The only other NPC ally death that comes close outside is Papalymo and even he was technically in 3.0.
