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

[ReynTime]

I've seen people defend UT by saying "you don't need to be shocked by the fakeouts, because the WoL doesn't know they will come back, and this part is about how THE WOL feel, not the player".
But that argument doesn't work. WoL and the player are conceptually the same. It's your avatar. You can be one of those players who inserts their WoL canon as a made-up character by you rather than insert yourself into the WoL entirely, but then you have the other reason the argument fails. With the WoL's in-game acting being so... non existent, it's hard to take the "loneliness" seriously, and not everyone imagines their WoL as being as emotionally fragile as your WoL.
I mean even if you just take what the game tries to force on your character for granted, it looks stupid. You have the Scions like Alisaie trying to tell you how you're supposed to feel, but you character is just looking at them like: :|

Moreover I'm sick of them forcing the idea the WoL has to mourn and cry over every loss, be it a person, a machine or a building, when they've been through so much shit they should have been HARDENED by it. No Ishikawa, I don't think my WoL is inhuman but they're also not going to get emotional when one of their Island Sanctuary mammets breaks down, like I'm sure you'd expect them to.

Do EX, that is the fight you definitely want then.

Endsinger EX is the worst extreme in XIV history. It's been made a mockery by the raiding community since day 1.

Much pretentiousness do I sense in this thread.

That's OK. Thanks for balancing it out with your absolutely nothing post.

I know, but the map is technically phase 2 and fits what he wanted. Personally I'm not a fan of that EX.
