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

I honestly don't understand folks who are like, "Who's this elf bozo?" It's like y'all aren't even playing the same game at times.

Feel like you're blowing his role in the expansions out of proportion, but really it doesn't matter. At the end of the day, there are gonna be characters in a story one simply doesn't jive with. And that's okay, even if this community fails to grasp that a lot.

Then EW came in and tried to milk his death a bit in Aitiascope. At first I thought it was ok, then I actually thought about it a bit. It was just cheap emotional manipulation, just like the rest of Endwalker. If you give this expac any logical thought, it falls apart instantly. "Hey look at this! Remember that? Doesn't that make you feel bad/sad/mad/happy/*insert other emotion here*?" Then you have the streamers/Youtubers overreacting as always, getting hyper emotional over it and tearing up.

"No, Maaaaaahm!!!! I'm fighting for my life here, in the afterlife remember?! Nostalgia tears in my eyes, blurring my combat vision is the LAST THING I need!"

Gotta milk those memberberries for all they're worth.

What can they say? Tear jerkers resonate with "content creators". Stop paying so much attention the story, your sanity will thank you, lol.
