When the other person lacks creativity so that they constantly regurgitate the same party line, they aren't WORTHY of any extra effort they themselves refuse to engage you with, Cleretic. As for your honored self, it may behoove you to reflect on if it truly makes you appear to be some righteous moral paragon if your only discourse can be quoted as '90s teenage edginess'. You can't convince anyone if you can be best described as '90s Hermione-style holier-than-thouness'. Such fails to convince anyone, humans don't respond well to it.



See, that's the crux of the issue though. Square clearly can't decide if they actually WANT to have a 'clean break' from pre-existing plotlines and threats and the post-EW patches proves this. We very well COULD HAVE had new adventures, new plotlines, and perhaps most importantly new and differing and diversive cast members, but instead we're stuck with at least three Scions at any given time and are already right back to pre-existent, high-stakes threats in the Void. As it is, 'Newfound Adventure' lasted for like.... 3 quests of a single patch.

If Square wants us to believe we're getting any Newfound Adventure, they're failing at it SO HARD right now. It comes off as more of a convenient excuse, which is a really shitty precedent that Endwalker established as prevalent that it would benefit them to break from.
Perhaps you struggle with counting, and if so apologies, but we spent all of 6.2 with exactly 2 Scions. One character introduced in base EW, and one new character who was only properly introduced in 6.2 itself. None of the other Scions showed up at all.
