Endwalker Story sucked and it's time to admit it

You left out that part where we killed him and the conflict between those who wanted to change and those who wanted to keep the status quo had a fight and one side won over the other.

There were a lot of Ishgardians that reacted badly to the truth about the Dragonsong War. People that had suffered loss, gone through unimaginable pain over a lie that those in power had perpetuated. Some of them even translated that grief into horrible action, like attempted assassination or deliberately disrupting peace talks.

Yet, curiously, at no point is the “solution” to these people’s outpouring of pain the murder of every man, woman, and child in Ishgard. The solution wasn’t even to murder the opposition. Funny, that.

EDIT: These conversations tend to be extremely circular, so let me provide you with a different thought experiment.

Let us say Aymeric and his friends (us included) wound up being a minority in the Dragonsong War aftermath. The majority of Ishgardians are unable to move past the collective psychic wounds immediately after the revelation, and they decide their course of action will be to summon Thordan as a primal. No arguing of the foolishness of this course of action can dissuade the people of Ishgard from this path.

Do you think the Warrior of Light would then kill every single Ishgardian? Would that be the solution the game would put forth for this situation—and would they have our character enact it?
