A game for 4 year olds

[Alleo]

I am not sure if every theme of the game has to be applied 100% to our world. People will interpret Endwalker and the theme of suffering and hope differently. There are many stories on reddit where people wrote that it had helped them work over their grief of losing someone important. For me its the message that no matter the suffering there will be better days ahead. To not give up even when everything is messed up right now. And that we should not take everything for granted.

Honestly I thinkt this is mostly just for those beings in Ultima Thule since a lot of them are immortal, while still holding a bit of a hint for the players to think about. But thats just how I see it (and have a hard time putting my thoughts into english words).

Even their dialogue in the aftermath of the quest gave me more of a vibe that they had cast off so much in the pursuit of what they considered perfection that it took very little to push them over the edge and realize how empty it was when confronted with Meteion's question.

There's no real conflict in Elysion either, but it seems to be growing on them simply because it's more lively and varied then what they were used to.

Yeah it seems that they were at a point where just the simple question about life gave them a huge crisis.

I think part of the change is that they now have other races with them. Races that have lived different lifes with different views and pasts. There will be conflict but not in a violent way but more in the "I have a very different view as you". Their ideas will be challenged and they will grow with this.

Its shows what they Ancients were also always afraid of. That different views, or even just wearing something else would build conflict. And it does. But it also gives new ideas, new ways of handling something. And its stops whole races being grapped by the same despair.

So I guess another theme here would be: Cultural diversity and individuality are good and necessary.
