Isn't her using aether to see supposed to be taking time off her lifespan? Or has that been retconned?

No, English translation made it sound worst than it was. It just takes a bigger toll on her but if she rests she'll be fine. It's like she's casting a low level spell the entire time she's awake. Read her unending codex to see. Also ppl convinced themselves that matoya said it shortens her life span when she didn't. She says it uses her life force

Actually...



Dark enough for you OP???

Not dark enough like this

A bug avenging his fellow insects after Eorzeans nearly wiped the species. You hate to see it.

On the other hand, grim for the sake of being grim rapidly loses its value when it's overdone. Do you want it to go the A song of Ice and Fire route? Oh another POV character died or was horribly mutilated, I'm shocked I say, shocked.

They are never killing Y'shtola. She sells figures and represents us in Dissidia. I too wish the writer was more honest about the Scions' heroic sacrifice except not really in the MSQ, but in the end it's still Final Fantasy, what can you do?

This topic has been brought up many times, the best response to your question is best answered by the following post I'm about to quote:

I suppose this might be another post to potentially bookmark in order to keep track of the points being raised but as has been pointed out in the past it is specifically being requested that there are meaningful lasting consequences for at least some of the major protagonists.

Not just throwaway side characters of little relevance who are created with the intention of dying horribly. Not only antagonists and villains who are predictably given a sob story to induce sympathy and then unceremoniously killed off.

The occasional character on the level of Alisae, Y'shtola, Urianger, Raubhan, Nanamo or Merlwyb actually facing death in a meaningful and well written fashion would do wonders to portray some actual stakes.

I'm not convinced that one sided magic and world altering abilities are particularly engaging, either. Wanting more fantasy elements does not necessarily equal wanting them to manifest solely as an excuse to shield the major characters at almost every turn, especially when the story is written in such a way as to disallow the antagonists to score any meaningful on screen victories.

I want a compelling story and lasting consequences would achieve that as far as I'm concerned.

As has been pointed out over the numerous past occasions where the 'this is not Game of Thrones' line has been spouted, many of us aren't asking for mass death for the sake of mass death and are instead asking for death to occur where and when it makes sense. Cladding the bulk of the cast in extensive plot armour simply sends things in the opposite direction.

I would humbly suggest bookmarking this post if you're able to. It might help refresh your memory next time this same point is raised.

Looking at all the baby rage all over the forums, it sure looks like it.

You mean empty space? Is the concept that there once was something alive too much for you to handle?

Just keep in mind that when someone has to die it is Alisaie.

She has basically no purpose in the party, her story was more or less over with Coil and since then she just hangs around. Her death would also open the way for new character development for Alphinaud.

While G'raha also has no real purpose of existing, we know that Krile will play a bigger role in the next expansion and it is likely that G'raha will as well since both are part of the Students of Baldesion.
