Oh please, we only ever had two good deaths ever, Haurchefant and Tesleen, Moen? she was literally introduced to die, Ysayle? killed off because they couldn't figure out what to do with her next and has zero impact on the story, Papalymo? fridged to kick off Lyse's development, with the goal of his sacrifice undone the next patch, Yotsuyu? a shallow end to an amazing arc, I guess redemption truly doesn't exist, nevermind that she never truly went back her evil ways and the entire Tsukuyomi thing was forcing our hand because she couldn't bear her own guilt any longer.

Haurchen dying serves to make Thordan into a true villain whom the player wants to take down(even if Thordan is still one of the weakest villains in the game), and Tesleen's death serves to rapidly and efficiently contextualize the brutality of life in the First, none of the other deaths in this game make me feel anything but disatisfaction or confusion.
